Five for Friday

*Yes, I realize that it's not Friday - it's taken me this long to get my photos on the computer... 

1. Nolan
* Cluster Feeding.  So much rides on your expectations.  Wednesday night was rough, knowing Nolan's fussiness couldn't be hunger, since he had just ate... until Sean did a little research.  Then it was easier.  Last night, I was prepared for a repeat and was fine with it, and while he did eat fairly often, it was nothing like the night before, and the in between times were not fussy.  So nice.  So I will remind myself that I should expect to not know what each day will hold...
* Five Weeks.  Nolan was 5 weeks old yesterday - he weighs 13 pounds and half an ounce, and is 24 inches long.  I picked up a new sleeper for him - size 6 months.  He's getting too big for his 3 month clothes.
* Setting Up.  Nolan got a 3 part exersaucer as a gift - we set up the first part, which is a play mat with an arc over top with attention grabbing stuff.  We got a mobile for his crib and Sean set that up, too.  It will be interesting to see what Nolan starts to pay attention to.

2. Madeline Cooks.  M went to her grandpa's yesterday for a few hours, and cooked him supper.  It's nice that she has somewhere to experiment with meals, and someone who will happily eat her experiments.

3. Compatibility Fail.  The other night I pulled all my different scrapbooking page protectors out of their packaging and put them in an album to make it easier to flip through and find what I want.  That's when I found that my We R Memory Keepers pages (the ones that work with the Simple Stories line of paper) are too low for my American Crafts album.  I guess I can just re-punch the holes a little lower so they sit higher, but I'm kind of annoyed.  I'll store it flat for now.  I'm looking forward to the day when I can spend time in my new space being creative instead of just looking forward to that day...

4.  New Hair.

5. Weekends.  I have to admit, I look forward to weekends more now than when I was working.  For one, I like that Sean is home to enjoy Nolan instead of coming home at fussy time.  Having someone around also makes it easier to get some me time.  We went to Winnipeg to visit family last weekend; I may add photos if I get 5 minutes to spare...
