Peter Brian was born on December 29, 2007. After 2 months I have learned that my life no longer belongs to me. My days now consist of catering to my son's needs on demand - and believe me, he demands quite loudly. There have been days where I don't have food until 2:00 pm and there have been days where I had lunch at 10:30 because if I didn't I wouldn't get a chance.
I will admit things are a lot better now. He is starting to get into a routine, if not necessarily a schedule. I know that he will do the same things in the same order every day, however the timing of these things varies daily. This past weekend, despite all the current literature, we have started him on the rice cereal. What a fantastic idea! We now get a good uninterupted 8 hours sleep at night.
The one thing that makes everything worth it is the fantastic bond I have with him. My husband often gets upset because he feels as though Peter doesn't like him. He could be up for an hour with the baby and the minute I take over, little Peter falls asleep beautifully. And nothing can brighten my day more than a big wide smile from my little boy. I look forward to the coming weeks where we expect to hear his little giggle!

That was perhaps your best post ever, although with that picture the other posts didn't stand a chance. Once Peter is big enough to play, your husband will get the interaction he is looking for. In the beginning it is all about the momma. I also look forward to the giggles and the inevitable baby fights with Alan.
