Friday, December 14, 2007one weekmilo is one week old today! the first week of milo's life has been all about the learning curve—his and ours. there are things (like breastfeeding and calming techniques) that matt and i didn't know how to do a week ago, but are now old pros at, and there were things that scared or upset milo a week ago (like being naked) that he now takes in stride and sometimes even happily babbles during. we have some routines down pat and are developing more every day. it's incredible. milo is so expressive and alert—while we were in the hospital, our midwife and multiple nurses commented on how much he had his eyes open for a newborn. i heard: "he's really taking it all in!" at least a dozen times. he has a very sweet temperament and is hardly ever fussy, and when he is, his dad is a total pro at taking him from a bloodcurdling scream to utter silence in seconds. here are some top fives! milo's top five favorite things: 1 and 2. breastmilk and the acquisition of said milk 3. snuggles 4. being swaddled 5. poop, the making of milo's top five most hated things: 1. poop, the cleaning of 2. changing clothes 3. the act of swaddling 4. the 10 seconds when mama is getting me adjusted to breastfeed. hurry up, woman. 5. mike huckabee's proposed solution to the AIDS epidemic i might have just thrown in the last one. there isn't much he doesn't like. he's only a week old, people. today, my mom and i are going to make a carrot-ginger cake to celebrate milo's first week and we're going to go over to the herbivore store to sign cookbooks for a little while and so milo can meet josh and michelle! my parents are leaving on monday and we're really going to miss having them here. they've been a huge help and it's been wonderful to see them bond with the boy. some photos from this week:
