3 weeks and 4 days old...

Beau is a cuddler! He loves his Mommy. He does not want to be away from me. He wants to be held all the time. Not just held, cuddled and snuggled and I must do it just the way he likes or he will let me know. "No mommy, that is not how I want to be snuggled". I know this is just a phase and I'm trying to enjoy it as I know he won't always be like this. It just makes it hard to shower, clean the house, do laundry, go to the grocery store. Etc. I am learning to do many things one handed. I can push a grocery cart, fill it up, check out and get back to the car all with one hand.

Beau also loves to be awake at night. He favorite time of night is between 2am and 5am. He wakes up ready to eat and after I feed him he looks at me like "Cool. What are we going to do now Mom?" Last night I don't think he slept after 2am until 7am this morning. Thankfully, it is Sunday so Dan helped me since he didn't have to go to work. He got up, fed and hung out with him and let me sleep until 8:30! Woo-hoo! I got up feeling like a new person!

The other day I told Beau about Jesus for the first time and how he never had to be worried that we wouldn't be together. If we have to be separted it will only be for a very short time and it will be okay. I told him that because Jesus died for us, we get to go to heaven and be together forever. I'll never forget that moment I had with him. I just sat in the rocker with him cried, so thankful for the gift of salvation and the new meaning that it has for me now I have Beau in my life.
