So tiny - and yet so huge.


We survived our first day at home alone with this little creature. Sure, it meant taking turns sleeping on the floor of his room because the cosleeper wasn't set up and neither of us could really bear to leave him alone. And sure, there was fussing and a generally unhappy belly - complete with projectile vomiting - because Mama fed him the higher calorie mixture by accident. But there were also champion diaper changes, meds given at the very right times, showers, naps, the realization that little monkey can focus on his reflection, a discovery that his little fingers fit perfectly in his little mouth if he curls them just right - and lots and lots of snuggling with Mama and Daddy.

All in all, a fantastic day.
