In Love

Wow. I know the suspense must be killing all of you faithful readers, but I just haven't been able to peel myself away from my handsome little fella to blog. When I'm not feeding, burping, cleaning, and caring for my son, I'm either watching his awesome little mannerisms or trying to catch some sleep myself. He has so much personality already! And I have a million pictures - I just haven't had time to process them. He is constantly doing the funniest or cutest thing. Thank goodness his Diva (my momma) is here to catalog this first week... Otherwise, this momma would be going WITHOUT sleep totally.

Oscar is really the coolest baby. He is a whole week old! He is so strong, trying to hold his head up when we burp him and kicking off the back of the chair when I try to nurse him. When he sleeps, he gets the sweetest expressions - like he has a complete understanding of what is going on around him and it's his own private joke. He makes this pucker face that I absolutely cannot resist. This boy is gonna be trouble for the ladies! His eyes are dark blue and I think they may turn brown. I don't get to see him awake and alert very much yet because he is still is that sleepy growth stage. But Oscar is such a cuddler. I LOVE that about him! He snuggles up close to you and sighs and it melts your heart. He has his Poppa and Diva completely wrapped around his fingers (and us too of course!). I love singing to him and tickling his back - that's his tickle spot so far. He is really very smart, too. I try tricking him sometimes when I nurse him, but this boy knows what he wants and when he wants it. When I bottle feed him what I've pumped, he pulls the bottle to himself with his strong lean arms! It's almost weird. And I usually let him hold the burp rag, which he promptly uses as a snuggle blanket. Seriously cute. I really just can't get enough of this amazing tiny being!

And there is something to be said about that "new baby" smell. It's delicious! Speaking of, I'm going to go get back to doting on my baby boy... More later.
