Daddy Went to Work

It was hard for Jeff, the new Daddy, to go back to work today. He was leaving the drama of baby discovering the world, Mommy coping with the after effects of surgery, twins off to Montessori School. Oh the wonders that unfold moment by moment in the life of a newborn son! This Grammy was there briefly yesterday and Rowan was awake!


Eyes bright, and peeing all over every outfit they chose for him to wear before seeing the Doctor. The plan was to go purchase more "onesies" after the appointment. Here he is all bundled up and ready to go, sans car seat cover, etc.

His appointment went just fine. He is in the 75th percentile for size... imagine! His crocheted hat and matching booties were both too small. I've made 2 more hats. Back to work on some booties. Actually, they would have fit without socks on too.

Tomorrow he meets his cousins, Lizzie and Ellie. That ought to be a blast. No telling what Ellie will say. When she saw his video clips on facebook she said, "I think I could hold him sitting down!" Better let her have her turn last. She will probably not share well with infant holding, but she comes by that honestly. Her Grammy does not share well with infant holding either! When his sister Elayna met him, her first comment was "He smells!" She only held him briefly.


Eden thinks he is wonderful!


We went to see "Social Network." Great movie but what a sad lonely man. Hope he is surrounded now by people he can trust. Hope he has learned to interact one on one better, too! The facebook and blogger experience are fun, but Rowan's birth drives home how good it is to BE THERE. May his family always be present for his growth and adventures! My heart goes out to all families separated by distance.
