Teach Your Children Well

It's baby's 1st Game Day!

Thanks to Mrs. McD and my folks we have a couple of Clemson outfits to choose from as Robbie watches his first football game.

He's in the basement with the menfolk now.  Does watching football from a Boppy make you lose street cred?

PLUS Aunt Emilie

Aunt Emilie and BK 2:  Grocery shopper, chef, and labor entertainment extraordinaire.  (Who else can I blame the fact that I'm watching an episode of Maury Povich on while in labor?)

Visits from Friends

Robbie has had quite a few visits in his first week of life... forgive me for this being Part 1, but I can't figure out how to rotate some of the photos I have without losing them completely on our computer. 

Shawn and I are very lucky to have wonderful friends and family who are feeding, cleaning, visiting, and supporting us in this new adventure!

Two Babies

I was pretty concerned about how Daisy was going to react to Robbie joining our "pack". 



While it hasn't been all sunshine and light, I would say that Daisy has FAR exceeded our expectations.

She likes to lick Robbie's toes, but knows to go back to her pillow when we ask. 

She still barks when people come to visit, when the phone rings or there is a knock at the door,  and sometimes when the baby cries. 

But all in all, we are now a pack of four, and Daisy is going to be just fine with it.

Day-Glo Baby

Robbie had his first pediatrician appointment yesterday, and everything checked out great!  It looks like his gaining weight has helped keep the jaundice at bay.  He was only a couple ounces shy of being back to his birth weight!  (Which is apparently great news!)

A few more photos of our day-glo baby from his bili-blanket last week.  These may or may not be used in a wedding rehearsal slide show 30 years in the future.

We're having to supplement his feeding right now with formula, which he seems to love more than the milk I can give him.  I think its more about ease for him than anything else.  Doctor recommended we visit a lactation consultant sometime in the next couple weeks.  I feel like that's high on the list of #thingsyuppiesdo ... but we'll do whatever is best for baby.
