His First Two Weeks

Oh man, I think I always forget just how much I LOVE newborns. I get so caught up that last trimester with how little sleep is coming my way that I forget how much I love to snuggle with a newborn or how I love their open mouth kisses as they are looking for food. I am loving my newborn.

We are learning a lot about you. When you were in my tummy you got the hiccups all the time. You still get the hiccups all the time. It sounds so painful, but you never cry. You also sneeze a lot.
You hate to have your diaper changed and you really don't like baths either. You are one happy little camper if you are being held (which is never a problem finding someone who wants to hold you).
Like your siblings, you have a strong little voice.

Like your siblings, we hope to channel that voice of yours to do much good in your life. You love a pacifier, which is something new for us. Your brother and sisters did not like them at all.

 You do a lot of this:

and you sleep best in my arms. I don't mind one bit and love to watch you sleep. You often make noises, even make an almost laughing sound while you're dreaming.
You sleep for 3 hour stretches during the night and I inevitably have to bring you to bed with me in the early morning in order for you to go back to sleep. This is a big no no for me, but I can't help but love to snuggle with you so I always cave.
We discovered just today that you inherited your dads webbed toe. He is so proud! I'm just grateful your sisters didn't inherit it. I'm hoping you'll be as good a swimmer as your daddy. I give credit to his toe.

 You are loved by your family. I just hope I don't nibble your cheek or ear right off.

Happy two weeks sweet baby boy!
