Life with a New Baby

The last few days home with Xander have been fantastic. It is amazing what a wonderful little boy he is. Yes, we are those parents who can spend hours just staring at our little baby. He doesn't really do much, but that doesn't seem to matter.

It has been wonderful to have visitors and phone calls from friends and family. You guys are great!














There has been lots of cuddle time with the little guy. He is incredibly soft, and warm. Nap time is lots of fun.













We got out for a nice walk today. It was beautiful, in the upper 60's. Xander seems to like to ride in the chariot. Just a short trip around the block today, Erin is still healing and needs to be reminded to take it a little easy on occasion. That said, she is doing incredibly well. My wife is awesome.






Of course, it is not always cuddly time and happiness. The boy has good lungs, that's for sure. All in all though, he is a pretty happy baby, he has been pretty good to us so far.










I've been taking the first night feeding so that Erin can get some sleep and work on healing. He has been sleeping about 3 hours at a time, so really, we are doing pretty well. He has been a good eater, and does just fine with both bottle and breast feeding. It is nice for me to be able to feed him too. It is great bonding time for us.
