So many firsts and still so many more ahead of us. Last night was just one of those evenings. After arriving home just as he had finished feeding, I helped him burp before he lay snuggled on my shoulder for a little snooze. That has got to be the most adorable position and it is hard to break away from him. After he woke up and had another healthy feeding it was time to change him and take him for a bath. This time I filled up the tub and jumped in and brought my little man in with me and it was just amazing. Benjamin didn't even flinch as he soaked in the water with Dad. He has an amazing back stroke for a newborn and his legs are pure kicking machines! haha! He looked like he could of stayed in the water forever, he was so content. After the bath we massaged his body with baby oil and then it was good night Irene! KO! We all went to bed early and got a good night sleep, well, pretty good sleep.
It would seem that Benjamin loves the water and so his middle name feels perfect now. Keli and I have always felt strongly about our connection to water, especially living on the west coast and my Portuguese heritage. Oddly enough, the front page of the Vancouver Sun this morning is about the rivers flooding in British Columbia. It's a rainy day in Vancouver.
Now as I stare out the window and listen to the cacophony of construction orchestration pounding the streets in front of me, I'm comforted by the thought that I will see my Queen and our Prince of Heaven soon enough. I am so very thankful for every moment and feel so blessed, so alive. I am also relieved that my good friends Carty & Tersia and their beautiful new daughter Aya are doing amazing and will soon be coming home too. I look forward to the six of us on ichat!
Hope everyone has a great day!
This has been a brief Observation by Chico.
peace!
