The Rest of Week 1

As we brought our son home from the hospital (and even before), we were already being blessed by his sweet personality. He is such a laidback baby, and for that we're so thankful! He rarely cries... so far it has mainly been if he gets REALLY hungry, cold and wet (as you'll see in one pic below), or occasionally if he has a sharp gas pain. When he wakes up at night, he doesn't cry -- he just grunts and squirms until he wakes us up as well. A few other things we have learned about him so far:

- He LOVES baths (we actually learned this during week 2. The first bath we used a sling which kept him out of the water, which he did not like. After that, we put him down into the warm water and he is just so calm and relaxed, looking around and kicking his little legs leisurely. It's pretty adorable!)

- He likes to have his feet rubbed.

- He was born with hairy legs like a teenage boy!

- He doesn't puke all the time like his sister did.

- He likes the sound of his sister's voice. He gets so calm and looks all around him when she talks or sings to him.

Here are some photos from the rest of our first week with this sweet boy.

Isn't he handsome?



Snug as a bug in a... warm blanket :)



Scrunchy nose! (this has pretty much gone away! He's changed so much already.)



"But Mom, I'm looking too cute to be going to bed!"



The only picture we have of him crying... he wasn't a fan of being cold and wet.



I thought it was adorable when he fell asleep like this.



The "turtle neck"



He'll take a pacifier with much convincing.



The kiddos ready for our first stroll around the neighborhood.



Here he was dressed up for his first official outing. We took Sissy to Toys'R'us to pick out a big sister present (she chose a doctor kit). Doesn't he look cute? Yeah, he spit up on this outfit about 2 minutes down the road.



I love these smiles :)
