Baby Leo Is Here!

Mr. Leo was born March 23, 2010 around 3PM! Eight pounds and 19.5 inches long!

Getting myself together well enough to write a post has taken awhile.

Everyone appears to be adjusting well, albeit slowly. Uly is a great big brother and although he has a few moments now and again (Leo stop crying... please?) I think he's doing remarkably well with the change. Leo seems to be glad to be out and he's already packed on about three pounds since birth (good boy). He's wiggly and wonderful! His latest feats include discovering some motor control over his arm (the left one) and everyday he's able to sit up (with a little assistance) for longer and longer periods of time and even stands holding his own weight for a spell. He smiles and coos, especially at big brother Uly.

Leo typically sleeps very well at night and wakes up every three hours to be nursed, like a good baby. I'm particularly grateful for the chunks of sleep. This is the most sleep I've gotten in what feels like a really, really long time.

Cutting this post short to post pictures because Leo is preparing to wake up from his short nap!
