Getting to know you

It seems almost all babies look alike. But I have to say that they behave quite differently if you watch them closely.

We have been paying close attention to young Isaiah and it seems he does not like to be bounced, he does like however to be held right ear to left breast though. I think this is because he can hear your heart beat. He tends to be a sleepy nurser though, he like to fall asleep halfway through a feeding! This gets old because we have to keep waking him up by taking off his clothes and tickling his feet! cruel I know.

He is eating about every three hours during the day and 4 hours at night. This is so Mommy can get some well deserved sleep. I am doing the first feeding after she goes to bed with a bottle. We are only doing the bottle once a day and it is a slow flow nipple so he doesn't get instant gratification. If that happened he wouldn't want to feed off of Momma.

We have also made it a point to spend one on one time with Logan (our 3yr. old) so he doesn't feel like he is being left out of the love loop. He was our first miracle baby and is very dear to us. Today He helped me put some drywall screws into the drywall project with my cordless screwgun. Yesterday we went to McDonald's and had cheeseburgers and fries! He LOVES fries. Although he didn't eat them all(?)...

Alyssa is healing up just fine and getting around better. I am glad that she was able to have a natural birth and not a C-Section. The recovery on those are longer and more painful.
We had her sister Shari and her two daughters and young son stay with us last night and they did a great job helping us out around the house! They cleaned up this pigsty and we couldn't thank them enough. One of her daughters, Elisabeth, is still here and will be helping out for another day. We both wish she could stay a week.

All said it is fun getting to know this little guy and we are cherishing every moment we have, we remember how fast this time as an infant goes by.
