Our camera is gone, vanished into thin air. We have no idea when it disappeared, but it did sometime in the last week or so along with the memory card with all the recent pictures of the boys. Luckily, I downloaded pictures on August 8th, so we're really only out about two weeks worth of pictures, but when you have a newborn they grow so quickly, and I really want to be able to take pictures. It's not an expensive camera, but it's still important to me, and it's frustrating that it seems to be gone. We haven't gone too many places, so I really think it disappeared somewhere in the house, but I've looked absolutely everywhere. The worst case scenario constantly playing in the back of my head is the possibility that Eli got a hold of it and threw it away. He has been known to throw things away in the past, and for some disgusting reason, this boy cannot stay out of our trashcan. I'm not sure how long to keep looking for it before I give up and buy a new one.
Today I broke down and dug out the old camera. I need to take a few pictures before Aaron is no longer a newborn. Here's what's sitting on the couch next to me right now...
I love this little boy so much! He is too sweet! Aaron is doing pretty well these days. This boy is hungry hungry. He takes after Eli. He eats pretty much every two hours throughout the day. Sometimes he eats every hour and a half in the evenings. Nights are going a little better. We've had several nights that Aaron has eaten and then gone to bed around midnight, eaten around 3 or 4, and then slept until 7 or 8. It's tiring, but as long as he actually goes back to sleep in the middle of the night, I can usually be a somewhat functioning person through the day.
Eli is Aaron's current biggest fan. Clayton loves him too, but in the last couple days Eli has become extremely affectionate toward Aaron. He's getting better and better at being "gentle". He loves to be cheek-to-cheek with Aaron, and he is constantly giving kisses. He also likes to make sure Aaron has a blanket. He really has to be monitored with that though because he doesn't understand that blankets shouldn't go over faces. Unfortunately not all of Eli's love is appreciated by Aaron, but it doesn't seem to affect Eli.
I would love to write more, but someone is suddenly starving, so I have to wrap it up. If you know where my camera is, let me know.
Bless you Wendy - it is such a hard time in the beginning! He looks precious though and totally worth it. :) It is easy to see why the boys love him so much and I totally know what you mean about siblings 'accidentally' smothering the baby with the blanket - happens here all the time or they give the baby a very large, hard plastic toy for her to 'hold.' :)
ReplyDeleteBrothers are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe minute you stop looking for your camera, it will turn up. Especially if you buy a new one and throw away the box. :)
How about one of these little prayers (I'm Catholic so we pray to the saints a lot!)
ReplyDelete"St. Anthony St. Anthony please come around, something's lost and cannot be found"
or
"Dear St. Anthony,I pray, bring it back without delay"
It could be like the coasters at our house. Clayton had put them inside the back flap of our couch. It took until he came back to find them.
