My sister had a jewelry party last Friday so Graham and his cousin Sam had their first overnight (well attempted overnight). We swaddled them up, laid them next to each other, had to take pictures of course, and then it all went downhill. One would cry and wake the other up and then you would hear 2 unhappy babies. Aunt Rebecca consoled the boys but they eventually just had to be separated. What do you think, should we break out these pictures when they are in high school?? Uncle Matt said it's probably not considered cool for 2 boys to be sleeping in the same bed. :)
Last week Graham's cord fell off so the new parents were excited to give him his first "submerged" bath. He HATED it! We were convinced we did something wrong because he screamed so much. Russ googled how to give a newborn a bath and we did everything right (funny that we looked that up, right!?). The next time went much smoother because we figured out how to use the infant sling so he kind of reclined in the water. More like hanging out in a jacuzzi tub.
We are trying to get this sleep thing down. We will have a few good days and then a couple of bad. I have gotten lots of good advice from more experienced mommies. just trying to figure out what works best for us and our new little man.
