A Little More Baby

For all of you grandpas and grandmas and aunts and uncles and cousins and friends who are just dying for another window into the bundle of joy we see everyday...

Day 2
Still in the hospital. Dad had to go take a couple tests.
We were kept pretty busy by all the things we had to do in the hospital, but we found a few quiet moments to take pictures.

Letting my doctor take him for his circumcision and again letting the nurses take him for his tests were absolutely heart-wrenching for me. I just cried and cried. And then I cried again when they brought him back, and he looked at my like I'm crazy. :) I knew I loved him before that, but wow.

Dad made it back after a long day at school and we were so happy to see him!

Day 3
We came home from the hospital and it's good to be home.
This is what my little man looks like just after eating. I LOVE IT! He's falls into the most peaceful sleep and I just have to enjoy it for a minute or two (or occassionaly 20) before burping him.

He found his thumb!!
He's been sucking on his hands and sleeves since the beginning, but he actually found his thumb on his own once. SO CUTE!

His first political debate with his father:
"I don't think that could be right."

"No. You can't draw that conclusion so quickly."

Day 4
After Ty came home from church, they hung out watching the Masters.
(GO PHIL, by the way. We've finally fully committed to Phil-Fanhood.)
Even though this isn't a great picture, I love how it shows how little he is and how much growing he has to do before he's a big as his dad.

A nice close-up.

We tried taking some videos.
Once or twice a day he is just totally awake like this.



Day 5
We saw our Pediatrician today!
He was 8 lbs 1 oz when we left the hospital, but back up to 8 lbs 3 oz today!
He was totally awake for the whole visit and absolutely quite.
He just watched and looked around the whole time. And he checked out great!

So here is our little man.
Every time I pick him up I realize I've forgotten just exactly how beautiful he is.
