We're home

Today my baby boy is 7 weeks!

Back in Germany!  Praise the Lord everything went through with the passport the second time around and we arrived safely in Germany Friday morning.  Although we had a little scare at the passport agency, after I already paid and was coming to pick up the passport, the agency gave me my ticket back and said they needed further information and I needed to get another ticket to see another lady.  I was devastated automatically assuming we wouldn't be coming home.  As I was waiting to see this other lady, about 30 minutes, his name was called...they had his passport!  I didn't need to see the other lady after all, so i'm not sure what the problem was, but whatever it was, I'm glad it was resolved quickly.  Needless to say, we ended up driving in DC traffic coming home, what took 2.5 hours to get there, took 4.5 hours to get back. 
Alexander was great on the plane rides, everyone praised how well he was compared to the 2 other small infants on the plane.  I was able to have a bassinet for him and he had his own seat also...he didn't care too much for the bassinet as he likes to sleep in my arms for the most part.  This is something I am trying to break, but its hard for this mama to listen to him cry.  He's so overtired right now, I feel bad for him.  He's confused, different scents, different scenery, new time zone...6 hours ahead of east coast.  I knew it would be hard on him, but I never imagined it to be this hard.  I'm hoping over the next week or two things will start to become normal for him.  He's so tired right now that he's snoring...so young and already snoring.
He does love his changing table mobile...it's a cheap mobile i found at Ikea awhile back, but it's colorful and he smiles so big at it.  He also loves when i read him stories.  Most times he'll be sucking on his paci, looking up at me read to him...he's just precious.  He also likes his mobile on his crib, when I start the music, he instantly quiets down, when the music goes off...so do his lungs.
I'll try to get some pictures posted tomorrow.  He's growing and changing so much!

Have a great day!
