Say Cheese!

This is the most we see of his eyes most of the time. He is such a great baby, but he sleeps so much. I guess that is par for the course and the eventful journey to the world that he has just experienced. Whenever we get a full round eyed glimpse of his optical orbits we get so excited! One time he woke up long enough to give Alaina a wide eyed once over. She declared, "Look he just looked at me and said, 'Hey, that's my beautiful sister Alaina!'"

He is the spitting image of his daddy if you ask me! Handsome little devil. He passed his second hearing screening, impressed the nurses with his surprising strength, despite his tenderness of age, and has turned a nice fleshy color - a relieving development considering his early tendency to yellow.

Matt was a bit unsure about how close he really wanted to get to Damon. He still sometimes waffles between overwhelming desires to love and kiss him, and annoyance. But overall he is a good big brother.Alaina was on board right away. And is still the best helper with her little brother. She was very worried about what the nurses were doing with him, and how her mom was doing. She didn't like that I couldn't move around much, confined to my ice packs and my less than comfortable bed. She walks around with a proud glow, knowing that she is the luckiest and best big sister around.
