first? smile

my first smile captured on film. mom and dad can't wait until i do this while i'm awake!

how lucky are we? gramma likes to hold me and cooks up yummy food for my mom and dad - what more could we ask for?

eating is hard

here i am looking skinny and yellow. my mom is trying hard to feed me, but it's taking me a while to get this nursing thing down. i keep losing weight and now weigh only 6lbs.5oz. i'd better start gaining weight soon or folks are going to start mistaking me for kate moss.

yawn

life on the outside is exhausting! here are some of my big accomplishments during my first week:

came home from the hospital after two days

ate every two hours

cuddled with my parents a lot

the staff at the hospital gave me this labeled onesie to make sure my parents remember to put me to sleep on my back. are my parents really that dense? i hope not, 'cause if they can't figure that one out without a cheat sheet, it's going to be a long 18 years...

All bundled up, seeing my parents for the first time. I weigh 6# 13oz and I'm 18 inches long. Birth was a quick but exhausting experience - three and a half hours from beginning to end. We're doing well, but Mom keeps saying something about bone-crushing pain and not holding my breath for a sibling anytime soon.

let me out! it's getting crowded in here!
