Anyone who has seen us lately has probably heard, "he's such a good baby." Don't want to jinx ourselves but he's truly wonderful. He's fallen into a routine and really only seems to cry when he's hungry, in need of a diaper change or overly tired. Chad has a way of holding him that immediately calms him down if Kyle does have a breakdown (such a good thing). Yesterday his umbilical cord stump fell off, so we're hoping to have a "real bath" today, rather than the sponge baths he's been given in the past week (we'll see how that goes). Back to the diaper thing.....I am amazed at how something so small can dirty a diaper (and I mean DIRTY) so many times a day. I've also learned that there is nothing like being peed on during a 4AM diaper change - you definitely need to keep a sense of humor. By the way, those "pee pee tee pees" don't seem to work at this young age, although he may grow into them. Seems the towel method works much better right now, to ensure complete coverage. Yesterday Kyle and I took a field trip to Daddy's work and then also hung out all afternoon with Auntie Jennifer and cousins (Sara and Lynsey). Today we're off to another Dr's appointment, so we'll see how much weight he gained in the past week. I'll keep you posted!

In a routine

Traci,
Kyle is so beautiful! How lucky for him to have such a great family to welcome him into the world. Glad to hear that everything is going well.
