One Week Old

So Emily has been pretty busy with being a mom, and I'm finding that being a dad for a newborn doesn't require too much work yet (which is why I am writing the blog again). I change his diapers, but he's only had three messy diapers so far, so that's not too hard; I gave him his first washcloth bath this morning which took all of five minutes (there's not that much of him to wash, and his screaming encouraged me to hurry); and I hold him when he's sleeping just so I can feel like I'm contributing to his care, because it seems like whenever he's awake Emily is feeding him.

So I take pictures. Here's a few from Sam's first week of life.

He likes being swaddled and he loves his pacifier.

I remember loving it when my dad pulled out his guitar and sang us songs before bed. So I pulled my guitar out and started playing, and this is the reaction I got.

Here's a few of him trying to wake up.

I guess there's a reason they call it sleeping "like a baby".
