Today, you are one week old. At this time last week, your daddy and I were sitting in a Madera Denny's, eating our eggs and pancakes and envisioning what life would be like with a child in our lives. Fifteen hours later...you answered our questions. In a word, being parents is AWESOME. Truly, I am in awe of you. I could stare and memorize your face for hours.
You are one of the most relaxed, content and ALERT babies I've ever met. From morning until evening, you're content just sleeping or staring into my eyes. You were so alert that I was finally got some good pictures of you the other day:
But here's my question, Sammie. Why the mood change during the 2-4AM? What happens during that time to make you fussy? If it's daddy's breath, I swear I'll make him keep mints by his bedside.
Crying aside, I'm not the only Mommy in the house. Roxy is mommy #2. She can't get enough of you, and must be lying or sitting by your crib allthetime. If you do fuss during the day (which is very rare), she whimpers and gives me this imploring look, as if she's saying "Um, hello? Woman--take care of this precious baby because I don't have opposable thumbs to do it myself." The other day, I walked into the bedroom to find this sight:
She didn't want to be in your crib; she just wanted to know you were OKAY. For safety's sake, though, we'll be shutting our bedroom door during naptime.
We officially introduced you to my students today at the 8th Annual Hammy Awards, held at John's Incredible Pizza. They were sooo excited to meet you, but I was sooo nervous to introduce you to all of my students at such a germ-infested place. I didn't want you to spend the whole evening getting over stimulated and over-germed, so we settled on a compromise and had Aunt Beth watch you for the evening, bringing you in for a brief visit with all of my students.
For the first time in YEARS, they were all quiet as I introduced you to them and told them all about how you came into our lives. This is no easy feat, Sammie, to quiet drama students!
Before you said goodbye, we got a few pictures:
With all of the students. Bummer that it's blurry because that would've been a great shot!
Here you are the day after the party in the Spam onesie you wore to match the seniors and mommy & daddy:
Lots of love,
your mommy
