Sling Time!
I finally got the hang of nursing baby boy in the sling. Wearing him makes a lot of things easier to do.

Madhava Morning
This morning baby woke up and wanted to spend some time together. Here's some of the amazing conversation we had. (Best around 1:45 in the video)
Madhava Time
With more awake time comes more fun time with mama! I get to chat with him and watch him learn to move his body. It's amazing what I see when I don't just write off his movements as random. I can see, now more than the first time around or ever before, how babies have intentions and are communicating all the time....just like toddlers and everyone else! I can see how my baby boy is trying to touch my face, is trying to distinguish each distinct thing that he sees, or is working to use his voice intentionally. What a wonderful (and tiring) journey life is!

My Darling Daughter and My Beautiful Boy
This is one of those pictures where my mind flashes ahead to my older self looking back on the moment, remarking on how young I am, how fresh motherhood is, how new my children are....Perhaps I'm proactively nostalgic? Whatever it is, this was a great moment. My daughter told her daddy that baby was getting milkies. Then she said, "I love you baby. I love you soooo much. Thank you for getting the milkies." Of course daddy and mama melted and we had to talk about how sometimes people love so much they cry.

Curls!
My mama ann I took a little bath together today. It had baking soda in it to help with the yeast. I liked it well enough. My hair got a little wet, and look what happened -- curls!

Health Update
My baby boy battled jaundice with the help of 24/7 home light therapy. Today I found out his tongue tie will probably not be causing any problems. It has either stretched or he has gotten stronger. That's two issues down! The thrush is still present, but probiotics and baking soda are keeping it stable at the worst it seems. Have to stay vigilant. Some good news, though, is that he weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces. This means he gained back to his birth weight and then a bit more. He is just beautiful and I love him...but that's nothing new!
