Mikeypoo and Kevypoo

I just love to see these two together. When Kevin holds Mikey, it emphasizes Mikey's teenieness even more. I'm finding that the more I look at Mikey, the more I see Kevin's face.
I also have a theory that Michael will grow some really dark hair when his non-newborn hair comes in. He has a few hairs on his head that are longer and darker than the rest. A sign of things to come?
Most of what Mikey does is sleep. He has two wakeful periods during the day, once between around 7 and 9 in the morning, and once around 7 to 9 PM. He's a really good nurser, and my "bottles" as my mom likes to call them, are feeling much better now. Almost no discomfort whatsoever when he feeds! I don't even need my Lansinoh anymore.

Kevin is a wonderful daddy. He never really changed a diaper in his life before his son was born, and it only took one tutorial from me and he is a natural! Good manual dexterity really helps when you're trying to secure a diaper on a wiggling newborn. I'm glad he's picked up on the skill so quickly because I can hand him off to Daddy for changes and not have to worry that he'll come back with a saggy, leaky diaper.

This looks like a game of "Leeeeeeettt's see who has the biggest head!" (Courtesy of Aunt Ceri). Kevin wins.

Very Very Cute. We are so excited for you guys. Take advantage of as many of those naps with baby on your chest as possible, the time passes far too quickly, but it has always been some of our favorite moments.

Your little poos are just precious. Both of them.
