1 Week Old

It's hard to believe that our little guy is already a week old. It doesn't seem that long. We are now used to the idea of having shifts in the middle of the night to take care of feeding and rocking to sleep--though we are not used to the actions itself of having to interrupt our sleep to take care of this little being.

After the fussing is done, when he looks at us, gives us a smile (even if it is an unintentional reflex due to gassiness) it makes us smile.

But boy, we can't wait until he sleeps through the night. We don't want to wish the next six months of getting to know him goodbye, so we will patiently wait out the six months of sleeping in shifts.

Wishing away the next six months just so we can get some sleep would cause us to miss out on precious moments like those pictured here. Where he is calm soon after a bath (above) or puts his hands beside his head (below) making it seem like he is taking it easy while his parents are dying for some sleep.

Take your time little guy, we enjoy watching you grow--even if it is with our sleepy eyes.

PS: He enjoys sleeping with his arms above his head. Sometimes it looks like he is covering his ears, hiding his face, calling a goal, or lounging. All he needs is sun glasses.

PPS: We do not pose our little guy, he does all his poses on his own.
