Contagiousness

It seems that everything a baby does is very contagious. When you see a baby smile for the first time, it's all you can do to keep from smiling. When a baby cries, it's all you can do to plug up the tears before you start to cry. When a baby is sleepy and you are holding it in your arms, it's either the fact that you are getting about 2 to 4 hours of sleep at a time... or contagiousness.

Andrew is now three weeks old, and I don't know where the time went after we took him home from the hospital. It seems like a blur of about a week. It astounds me to look at him now. I am reminded when we had kittens growing up and how fast they grew and matured. His chin is getting a little double chin when he yawns or leans his head forward. His legs are getting pretty wrinkly along with his arms.

Sleeping through the night has been a bit of a nightmare. At first, the tyrant was calling all the shots and depriving us of some valuable sleep. Now that we have a few things under our belt, we are able to get him to sleep through the first part of the night until he is in total nuclear meltdown about eating.

He sure is adorable, at least to Georgette and I.
