Welcome!

This is a blog for our family and friends to hear about what is going on with our little man. He is a week old today, and already we see so many changes in him! His little cone head is much more rounded, his cheeks are getting nice and fat, and even his eyelashes are growing out! He's had a beautiful complexion from the start--no red splotches or rashes on his skin--and right now his eyes are a dark gray-blue (although we don't expect that to last very long!). His little nose is getting bigger, too. I think he has Damian's nose and my eyes so far, but it's really hard to tell! His hair is very short but very soft and a nice dark color. He even has hair on his shoulders and the tips of his ears, but I think it's starting to fall out already. We visited the pediatrician last Tuesday and she said that he looks great--he'd already grown over an inch in length and had gained back most of the weight he lost in the first few days. No surprise there, as we've had our issues with both of us learning how to breastfeed, but he's always been a hearty eater! He even has a little song he likes to sing while he eats--it only has one note and I'm pretty sure the only lyric is "milk milk milk", but he never gets tired of it.

Well, it appears as though he's finally fallen asleep in my lap (although he has tricked me about this before) so I'm going to try to put him to bed so he can be all nice and refreshed for his first visitor--Auntie Laura is flying in tonight just to see him! He's so excited, but he needs his sleep! I'll try to figure out this blogging stuff and let Damian and Grammy post things too, but right now my schedule is as regular as Victor's, which is to say, not at all! Goodnight!
