Are We Spoiling Him?

Things have been busy here as you can imagine but they have been great - I love being a Mommy so much! I am still trying to get used to the idea of just letting things go - like having a completely clean house all of the time but I think I am doing a pretty good job at that even though I have a way to go in that department. I have always been such a neat freak with my house and not being able to always pick up everything or keep up on the dishes or laundry has been a struggle for me. Luckily Bob has totally taken over the laundry part - I can't believe how much laundry one little tiny baby makes a week! It doesn't help that Bob has yet to master the art of changing a diaper before Adam decides to pee all over the place. I had the pleasure of being sprayed a few times but I think I have gotten faster with changing his diaper so I don't get wet anymore :)

The past couple of days Adam has been so much more alert lately! He is awake most of the morning which is so much fun! I just sit there and talk to him all morning and we have a black and white rattle that he loves to look at and follow with his eyes. We also do a bit of tummy time but he doesn't like that too much at all. His head control is getting so much better too! I can't believe how quickly the time is going by and how fast he is growing already at only 3 weeks of age! I want time to slow down.

So I think we are raising a very spoiled little boy! I will admit between either Bob or myself he is held pretty much all day long! I loved it at the beginning just cuddling with him all day but there are times now when I would like to put him down so I can get somethings done but he won't let us. Also he will not sleep at all unless one of us is holding him (this has just come up the past couple of days). He will only nap if we are holding him and at night he sleeps in bed with us. I always said I would never let him sleep in bed with us but after a few sleepless nights I gave up and have put him in bed with us. I am already dreading breaking that habit and wondering when I should do it. I feel like he is still so young and we should do anything he wants at this point. I want to eventually get him on a schedule and everything but I have always heard that you should spoil a newborn for sometime (it helps them feel secure) but when is the point that the spoiling should end?

Here's a cute family picture of us that my mom sent me from her camera - Adam is one day old here. I actually haven't taken any pictures of him lately, I'll have to bring out the camera again because I feel like he is changing daily!
