Postcards From the Salon...

Today was a good day! Perhaps because we got some rest, perhaps because we're not worrying about his feedings (which he had some GREAT feeds today), or perhaps because I wrote some things down...(which I have been begging kim to start doing - but she 'claims' she's too busy!)

Nonetheless, today was a lot better day.

I got a haircut.

Kim showered.

Gordie played on his play mat.

It is really amazing how good natured Gordie is. I try not to sound over zealous, but I think we really lucked out. The kid (so far - knock on wood), is so laid back, and does not complain about much. He does his little bit of fuss when we strip him down and he gets cold, but after a quick cheek to cheek rub from mom or dad (which is me - wow that still seems weird), he quiets down. He really only cries, literally, for less than 5 minutes in a 24 hour period, literally... literally. I think that's good. And he's not all ' out of it ' - like i don't think he has any issues, behaviour or development wise... I just think he's a good kid. He wakes up, looks around, moves around, but doesn't cry.

Take my nephew for example - Rielly. Great kid, we love him, but no one would deny the kid likes to talk. As a newborn baby, he wouldn't stop gibber-gabbering. Even in the womb my sister claims he was incredibly active. Gordie on the other hand, was very laid back throughout pregnancy. He would do his movements, but nothing acrobatic like. On the night of his birth, while most breech babies get 'stressed' out, their heart rates jump etc, and that's when problems occur - well, Gordie, was just chillin the whole time. Even when Doc S had her hand rammed up his butt.

I know that things change quite quickly, and he could very easily become colic, but for now, we love him.
