Well, the first week has quickly come and gone. Luke has been a great baby and is treating us well. On average he is sleeping about 4 hours at a time. He had several nights of sleeping 6 - 7 hours.
Everyday he becomes more alert to the world.
He is opening his eyes for more time everyday. We enjoy watching all of his expressions and funny faces he makes. He has a variety squeaks and grunts that correspond to stretching, feeding, and pooping.
He caught on to breast-feeding right away so we are thankful. Our doctor called him a "champ" when it comes to feeding.
After Luke is done feeding he is either 1) so tired he immediately
falls asleep or 2) very alert and will stay up for a few hours. Currently we have no way of predicting which option it will be. Pictured at the left is a shot of me reading him an annual report (which was a late night attempt at putting him to sleep - it worked!). Otherwise we revert to the more typical: swaddling, calming, holding, and singing.
Since the weather has been so nice Alyssa has been taking him on a stroller ride per day. I think Alyssa likes it more than Luke! She
is enjoying being home with him and bonding to him.
