July 30, 2014 - 16 Days Old

OK, maybe videos of a newborn are only interesting to his momma, but here's just one... Kadin enjoying the sunshine on his little naked body.

July 29, 2014 - 15 Days Old

Kadin's second doctor's visit, include the heel stick to get blood for routine testing.  OUCH!  
He's all healthy except for needing some prune juice - mild constipation  :-)

July 28, 2014 - 14 Days Old

His first sponge bath.  He was all happy and peacefully asleep in the little tub and then I strip off his clothes and started sponging away, and the poor lil' guy wasn't too happy at all!
However, it takes him only a minute or so more in a warm fluffy towel to make him happily snooze away again...
Pre...

Going on a short hike with Kadin and Annie, trying out the ErgoBaby Carrier.

Uncle Rudder is already very protective of Kadin and checks up on him with a quick sniff, then sits quietly, looking out for unforeseen dangers.

Kadin shows off his newborn belly button.  The scab finally fell off on July 30th and he got his first real bath the next day.

July 23, 2014 - 9 Days Old

The dogs are so excited about Kadin.  They don't think we clean him enough and want to help out with their doggy tongues.  We try to keep it mostly to the toes or top of the head at this point...  
This is Auntie Rivet, who loves getting the leftovers from Kadin's bottle.

I think the fatigue is starting to show... this is the only photo taken of Kadin today.

July 21, 2014 - 7 Days Old

He's a week old today! Enjoying the sunshine through the window as he naps in his wicker basket.  He sleeps a lot and is (mostly) a really good baby.

Day two of me being with him - not tired yet, just euphoric about being a mom.

July 18, 2014 - 4 Days Old

Four days old and I haven't met him yet but already have started falling in love with him through the daily photos I received from Mia, who was generously caring for him until I got back.

July 16th - 2 Days Old

I was shocked to discover that no one took a picture of Kadin today.  Devastating.
Well, here's a picture from early morning on the 17th - close enough!
