First Bath

Sleeping happily... he has no idea what's about to happen...
I am not liking this at all...
If I could only use these things to fight back...
Ahhhh... warm and dry once again...

Settling in

Things seem to be getting a little easier, except for sleep. We took yesterday in two 12 hour shifts, and we're going to see how that works. He wakes up about 5 times a night to eat and then wants to look around. He's going to be a relentless joker.

He's lifting his head already (started that on day 2), which is pretty scary. On his third day, he was lying on his stomach and actually pushed himself up on his elbows. He was at an angle, so he wasn't lifting his full weight, but we were very impressed.

I seem to be incapable of explaining to him that we're not going to starve him :)

We went to the doctor today, and at the ripe old age of 6 days, Oscar has already been called an "Advanced Baby". No pressure for this little guy :)
