Adjusting

We're slowly but surely getting used to our family of four now.  Chan has been doing so awesome and so he's made it easy on all of us.  He continues to nurse like a champ and I'm really having to work at pumping any extra milk to store since he just wants to drink it all up.  I just want to make sure we have a little supply on hand in the freezer just in case.  He wakes about twice at night to feed also and that's doable while I'm on maternity leave.  He also enjoys lounging in his swing and bouncer, and he even tolerates tummy time a few times a day.  Chan's belly button fell off last weekend so he got a bath for the first time earlier this week.  It was a little shocking at first but then he was totally calm.  Tomorrow he has his 2 week physical at my work so we'll keep you posted with any updates from there. 

Allen and Esme have been spending more time together when I'm stuck on the couch nursing Chan.  Esme has Allen doing all sorts of crazy things and it's cute to see them together.  Allen's on paternity leave till the end of the month so they're getting in as much time together as possible.  His parents were also in town last weekend and his sister and nephew will be here this coming weekend.  We're definitely keeping busy!

Esme wants to practice "tummy time" just like baby Chan

Chan can't get enough of his fingers, pacifier, and nursing ;)
