The first week



Perfect little man
\
Bright eyes!

Sacked out

So precious

Hangin' with Daddy

Our family


Bruce turned one week old yesterday evening, and though we are all a little tired :), it has been a good week.  Bruce has met lots of family and friends throughout the week - hope to get the chance to post some of those pictures later!  Grandma Betsy has been staying with us since Bruce was born and it has been a God-send having her help around the house.  Andy, Libby, Kalo and Maggie all came to stay for the weekend, and with Aunt Libby's help, Bruce learned "eat" the first night they were here ... thanks Aunt Libby!!!  Up until that point, we had been struggling to get him to eat, even with a bottle.  He has some catching up to do weight wise, but he seems to be making up for lost time with all of the middle-of-the-night feedings he likes so well.  :)

Gage goes back to work tomorrow for finals week before he has two weeks of Christmas vacation - yea!  It will be so nice to have him home for two whole weeks!  Grandma Betsy is staying with for one more week, so I won't have to be on my own just yet.  :)

So fun to see pictures! Glad Grandma Betsy has been able to stay to help out. He is a very cute baby. Have a blessed week!

I love the pictures of your sweet little guy! Know it is so good to have your Mom there. So glad that Libby, Andy, Kalo and Maggie got to meet "peanut" as Kalo told me on Saturday... :D
