Getting in the swing of things

A good night of sleep for the little guy. Slept for over 8 hours with one wake up for feeding. He seems to be adjusting to the bassinet after a slightly difficult first night. Things seem to be changing quickly, though -- so who know what tonight will bring.



Who said Graff men aren't flexible (those are his feet in the little yellow bears next to his forehead)?


Uncle Luke came by for some lunch and some ogling. Luke is in full research mode at this point looking forward to July.


Check out that sweet blanket. Not sure if it looks soft in this photo - but I wouldn't mind finding this fabric and turning it into a pillowcase.


We're taking him on his first road trip... odds on bet is that he's going to be doing some serious sleeping on the road.

Hiccups?

How do you get rid of hiccups if you can't drink water or hold your breath?

Trouble at home?

Is somebody pouting?

More photos - chilling at home



Jax is definitely getting the hang of nursing - I think he and Brooke are both naturals. I'm also realizing that I picked a fine week to take off work with lots opening week of baseball, the Masters and college basketball all providing entertainment. Although, if the X-man is going to be a prodigy, I may have to start reading to him shortly. He and I also need to put our heads together to figure out what Bronco jersey he should be sporting come football season.

We had our in-home nurse visit and he is getting his weight back up to 7 pounds, and with the way he's eating now, I think he'll probably be putting it on fast starting soon.

Settling in

We are home and trying to keep up. Last night Jax graced me with a full stream of pee while I was changing his diaper. I deflected the stream downward with my hand and hollered for help. Braden obliged by running for a camera to capture the moment.

Just hours later Brooke was changing a diaper when Jax let loose with some black tar. Luckily, she and Kimn were able to keep the situation under control without too much collateral damage. And for the Jones, Pucketts, etc. who are on deck: this "diapers don't stink for the first few weeks" is complete heresay. It is also proving that Jax may have mom's nose - but he got my digestive system.

The baby sign is up outside. That means we're open to visitors. I have a box of Punch cigars and one-time excuse to smoke them!

Wyatt finally meets Jax

Mom and Grandma hanging cooing over the X-man. Wyatt doesn't seem to mind being 2nd fiddle so far...

First bath at the hospital


Not sure if these videos work well, but thought we'd give it a try...
