Baby J has been with us for a week now, and we are really settling into a nice groove. He is absolutely to die for. When we first got him, he was very quiet and as Bob put it unanimated. But now at 8 weeks he's smiling and laughing and cooing and being the most amazingly adorable baby. He is truly beautiful, I guess I wasn't sure what to expect but they brought me this gorgeous child and everytime I look at him it takes my breath away a little.
It hasn't been easy, I'm not gonna lie. The first few nights were rough, I was exhausted and when I'm exhausted I cry. Last night he slept a nearly 6 hr stretch and I woke up wondering if he was okay! He was, just full and tired and I guess feeling pretty secure. He seems to have some expectations of what to expect around here, and that makes me so happy.
Jack and Syd are doing phenomenal. Jack loves to give him his bottle, but tells me I have to burp him. Sydney sings to him constantly and he LOVES it. He especially loves the Barney song, he hears the first few words and starts kicking his arms and legs and singing along. It's so precious. Bob sits and holds him and plays high five and bouncy baby. Baby J loves to sleep on Uncle Bobby, he hates to be taken away from him.
He went to his first movie with us yesterday and did great! He slept through the first part, ate throught the second part and then watched the ending. He also entertained the crowd with a nice big burp after he ate. We were pretty impressed!
He is definitely loved around here, and his auntie Marla is totally infatuated. I think the feeling is mutual. Tomorrow is Courtney's baby shower and an entire houseful of mommys and grammas to pass him around like a jar of M&M's. I expect he will be exhausted by the end of that. And that's fine with me!
