Jonathan 1 Week Old

I still can't get over the fact that we have baby.  The week has flown by.  It has been nice to have Ryan home.  He is a very productive guy so in addition to watching/entertaining kids, our house is clean and organized.  Not sure how long that will last but it's nice for now.

Jonathan was an amazing baby at the hospital.  Then the first night home we was up all the time and cried a lot.  Then on top off that the next morning he wouldn't nurse (but would eat what I pumped from the bottle).  Very frustrating.  I was a little worried, but read that sometime babies are like for a day or so after getting circumcised.  Sure enough about half way through the day he was back to normal.

He pretty much still sleeps, eats and pees/poops all day.  Then at night he is more awake, but that isn't saying much.  The first 4 days he didn't seem to care if he sat in a dirty/wet diaper but starting day 5 that was no longer the case.  He went a couple feedings where he wouldn't nurse on one side...still not sure why, but after a couple tries I got him to take it again.

Sunday Ryan's cousins came over to visit and brought dinner for us to enjoy together.  It was fun seeing them.  Kherington especially love Becca.  Earlier I had Becca and Jared's Christmas card and Kherington snatched it from me and took it to store on her bed.  We're lucky to have family here.

Jonathan's hair was a medium brown when he was born.  We're still speculating as so whether it will turn red or not.  If you look at Kevin's baby pictures you'll see in some his hair looks brown too but by 2 weeks old he was a definite red head.  I'm excited to see how Jonathan's hair ends up.  I'm also excited to chop off the long rat tail in the back but figure I should give it a chance to see if he loses his hair so it doesn't even matter.

The kids are loving the baby equipment more than Jonathan.  They keep getting out the baby toys and playing the bouncer.

We've tried tummy time a couple times. Jonathan isn't a fan.  It probably doesn't help to have his siblings trying to help his enjoy it which ends up with them shoving his face down in to the blanket. 

Jonathan has pretty much lived in onsies and sleep sacks.  He loves to be swaddled too. Someone gave us a combination sleepsack/swaddle and that is my favorite new baby item thus far.  It makes it quick and easy to change diapers and get him swaddled right back up.  Kherington is still request to hold the baby all the time, but is good about giving him back as soon as he cries.  Actually both Kherington and Kevin get me and tell me Jonathan need to eat when Jonathan starts crying.
