I'm working on it. All day, everyday. It's not easy for me. But I remind myself constantly that it won't be like this forever. It will get infinitely better. And I also have to remind myself that he will never be this little and squishy again. And it's going so fast if I don't stop myself from being frustrated I will regret spending the first weeks of his life being a big ole grouch.
To answer everyone's question (and by everyone I mean everyone) NO - he is not sleeping through the night. I mean, what five week old sleeps through the night (except ones that belong to EXTREMELY lucky parents)?
He wakes up about 2 to 3 times a night to eat. I am lucky in that he goes right back to sleep. But he is much better at that than I am. I'm such a light sleeper that it's difficult for me to fall back to sleep. Especially when you have a squeaking baby, a restless dog and a snoring husband.
But now that I'm coming up to six weeks of sleep deprivation I am getting used to it. It is getting a little bit easier.
It's harder during the day. Despite what the following picture shows it is very hard to get the little guy to nap. Naptime is not only necessary for him, I need it too! We are working on it though. As with everything else.
As far as waketime goes he is getting more interested in looking at objects. He gets bored pretty easily and he likes to be moved around for new scenery.
This play gym has been awesome. He loves it, he can stare at the toys for as much as an hour sometimes. A hour is an eternity to me.
This may sound like a negative post but I really want to tell it like it is so in five years I'll look back and laugh... maybe cry a little cause I know these days are precious and as frustrated as I can get it's worth every second.
The pediatrician said he would hate it but it turns out Evan loves some tummy time. And I have no way to gauge this but he's obviously super advanced at it already :-)
We've been working on getting Evan on a routine and so far it's working out great. Hopefully a full nights sleep is somewhere in our future. I won't hold my breath though.

My friend Kory took these photos yesterday and they turned out great. Evan just slept the whole time, imagine that.

I can't believe it's been 4 weeks. Everyone warned me it would fly by and boy were they right. It feels like we just left the hospital with him.
He has started to make eye contact more and more so hopefully smiles and laughing aren't far off. He does smile a lot but I don't guess I can count those yet. 
We have his 1 month check up on Monday so I'll update everybody on how much he's grown. 
This past month has been a blur. This little man is keeping me busy, busy, busy. Right now I think he's going through a growth spurt so he's a hungry fellow. So that explains the lack of blogging. 
That's all for now, hopefully I will be able to post more later.
