Welcome Cormac

One month old today! Time is flying... we get an inkling of a smile now and flashes of recognition, but the real fun is probably a few weeks away. He's gaining weight like a champ. An interesting fact, at least to his mom, at 2 weeks he was 9 lbs and looking back at Donovan's baby book he was 9 lbs at 2 months. Do we have a bigger little brother coming? Only time will tell. Happy and serious pictures from today... he was asleep most of the day so this is the best I can do. Apparently, this is what I would look like with Jim's hair!

So after everyone says, "look at all that hair!" the first question is "How's Donovan doing?" A picture's worth a thousand words. He brought all his Cars cars over to play on the mat with him, brought Shamrock and a blanket to snuggle up.

The answer is he's doing great. He loves "his baby" so much and just gets so excited he has to scream. We have to monitor the loving as in his usual exuberant way it can get a little out of hand, but so far it has only been sweet affection, no jealousy or aggression (I'm sure that will change when Cormac can take his toys) When Cormac cries he says, "don't worry baby, big brother is here." And the other day unprompted he said, "I love you very much, baby." So far, so good... remind me of this in a couple years and again in 2018 and 2023...

For the knitters... I'm learning to knit & nurse so I don't get too far behind!
