Samuel is 7 weeks tomorrow and we are nearing the 2 month mark - hard to believe!  Things remain much the same with slightly  more consistent sleep at night and smiles from Samuel during the day which we love.  Yesterday was the most frustrating day to date and I actually think I would have rather gone to work!  Samuel just had a rough day and from 6am to 6pm only took one half hour nap much to mom's dismay and constant rocking and feeding to get him to sleep.....   I missed being able to go for a walk now that the weather is changing as that often lulls him to sleep.  Thankfully, I got my break to go workout when dad got home and took over.  Needless to say, one day later and all he is doing today is sleeping! 

This last weekend was the first time Dad and I were able to go out together to a Halloween party and Samuel stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Backstrom. Mom also got a chance to get her hair cut (first time in 6 months!) as well as see some of her friends for dinner.   It was really nice to get a little break, but I was always excited and ready to see my little guy!

Here are just some cute pictures of Sam from the last couple weeks
