One Week Old

Keegan is already one week old.  His scratches on his face are healing rapidly, his bruising from birth is fading, his yellow cast is nearly gone and he is looking fabulous!
He is fabulous as well- he is eating really well, nursing seems to pretty much be second nature to him, and once he has a full belly sometimes he will sleep for almost 3 hours.  He likes to be awake and look around at his brother and the lights for up to 30 minutes at a time and then nurse and sleep and snuggle.  He even sleeps on his own on occassion in the Rock n Play - though he much prefers to snuggle in bed with momma.
Mimi has been here most of the week to entertain Grayson while the family gets used to our newest member- and it has been super helpful.  When Grayson gets up from his nap he and Mimi have been going for a walk or heading outside to play while Mommy and Keegan nap. Then we all reconvene for dinner and the evening time.
Grayson is being a wonderful big brother so far- he loves his baby, asks for his baby when he wakes up in the morning or after nap, helps his baby get momma milk by 'holding' the milk for Keegan and patting his face with the burp cloth, he pets Keegan's head while his diaper is changed, sits next to us on the couch while Keegan is nursing and brings his blue baby (toy) to get milk on the other side.  Grayson has been doing a good job of being patient so far and of sharing his momma- though I am trying to make a big effort to make special time for him each day.  Grayson is more worried about Keegan being happy and getting milk and snuggles than he is about himself- what a lovely and kind big brother! Hopefully we can manage to make special time for both boys and they keep getting along as well as they are so far.
