1 Week Old

As always, time passes so quickly with a snuggly little newborn in the house.


Egan at one week old.


Egan had his one week appointment today. He is up a few ounces to 6lb 7oz. Almost bigger than his sister at birth. Everything looks great. He is such a mellow baby - much opposite to his dramatic arrival and to his sister's infant days. He is very calm and predictable. He sleeps well, although is still a bit nocturnal. The most amazing thing is how easy a sleeper he is. I always thought that people who talked about being able to put babies down and have them sleep unattended were lying. Elena had to be in constant contact with a person to be relaxed, let alone sleep. Egan, however, is happy to sleep snuggled up with you, or in the moses basket, or in the car seat. Jake and I were at first worried something was wrong with him!

Egan's had a few important firsts -

First time in sling


First bath (out of the hospital) - poor photos due to small bathroom and preschooler 'assistant'


First mail (from Grandma Joan and Grandpa Dwaine, of course!)
