Orion's first Thanksgiving

Our first Thanksgiving picture together. Orion was too tired to smile for the camera.

Orion met his second cousin, Leyna. Again, he was too tired to play.

Hey Daddy! Where do you think you're going??!

I love bath time!

I'm one month old

Orion loves to be swaddled and seems to sleep better when he is all wrapped up like a burrito. Here's a one-month picture of our baby bear. He is getting longer, heavier and cuter everyday. We had to pack away some of his newborn onsies since he grew out of them already. Weeks seem to fly by these days and now our baby bear is 5 weeks old. Unbelievable. We were able to go out as a couple without him for the first time last night to catch the movie, Quantum Solace. This is Amy's first time away from him this long since he's been born and she missed him terribly through the movie.

Instant Tan

Four days after Orion was born, he developed jaundice so mommy and baby had to go back to the hospital for a couple of days for some light treatment. Orion had to lay in an incubator while these bright uv lights shined on him all day and night long. We think that is the reason for his dark skin. Either that or mommy is just too pale and anyone would look tan compared to her. With our new addition, life has definitely changed for the better. Mommy is in pajamas or a robe at home all day with Orion. This is her watching tv during Orion's bright-eyed moments.

15 days old

The general consenses is that he looks like his dad. What do you think? We think it's still too early to tell.

We love having him sleep on our bed. He looks so comfortable.

Orion is 15 days old and he's been a very good baby so far. He seems to only cry when he is hungry and even then he will just fuss a little. He wakes up to eat every 2 to 3 hours. The past couple of days he has been more alert where he will look into your eyes and even try to speak (baby babble). We can't stop looking at him, kissing him and cuddling with him. He is the most precious thing and truely a gift from God!
