Today you are one week old! Already your Daddy and I cannot imagine our life without you. I love to stare at you, awake and asleep, and watch you start to figure out how everything works. You don't quite understand how to get your hand to your mouth and keep it there. You sometimes are surprised by the strength of a yawn or a toot.
And you toot a lot. Just like Daddy.
Grandma brought up baby pictures of mine. It's official, you pretty much look like your Mommy. Including the funny bow-legged stance. But you have your Daddy's chin, and I hope you have his pretty blue eyes as well. I'm sorry about the nose, that's from me.
So far, you have a laid back temperament. You are easily soothed and still sleep a majority of the time after a good meal. You are a grand eater, something I deserved after 12 hours of back labor. Glad that you were so obliging on that part. Your Daddy and I are curiously waiting to see how you change as you continue to grow, in both looks and personality.
I never thought I would care so little about so little sleep. But those 2am feedings are strangely precious, the one time of day when I don't worry about sharing you, passing you off to Daddy or Grandma for them to love on you as well. We just want to hold you all the time. Even in warm days like today, you don't seem to mind too much.
One week old and you are surrounded by so much love I can hardly stand the joy of it.
Welcome to our world, my wonderful baby boy.
Love
Mommy
