One Week Old

This week has flown by so far and we have succesfully made it through 3 nights at home.

Dad has been pulling the night shift so that Mom can sleep and recover before I have to head back to work. The trick is keeping Miles quiet during the diaper change portion, well at least quiet enough not to wake the whole house.Miles has really been sleeping a lot, but he has had a few awake moments to have some fun with us, including his first bath at home (although he didn't enjoy at as much as he will in the future). :)

Graham has spent much of the week with Nana and Granddad and had a fabulous time. We are so thankful they got to meet him before they went to Hawaii. He will have changed considerably by the time they get back.

We were glad to have Graham for a night. He was able to help out with several diaper changes and feedings, and even got to entertain Miles with his new and amazing feat of being able to curl his tongue. What great talents we have passed along. He is such a proud big brother and is very conscious of where Miles is at all times and what he is up to. He is looking forward to being able to rock and hold Miles more in the very near future.

He is now going to Beppie & Buddy's house for a little time with them.

We have been so thankful for the amazing help we have gotten, from helping take care of Graham, to getting the house cleaned up from our ongoing renovation project, to delicious meals at the house, and everything else. It has made the experience so very enjoyable and feasible.

Graham was able to go to his cousin Alex's 5th birthday party--a pirate theme. It was truly a great time and he and Alex were able to spend some time working on their swordsmanship and a host of jumping. Thankfully no toddlers were hurt in the posing of this picture.
