Our little astronaut

He looks a bit like an astronaut. Maybe this is indicative of a future career in space flight? Hopefully N's stint on the glowing bed will end today, but we will see. This morning we headed back to the doctor to determine if N's jaundice had cleared up enough to eliminate the bili-bed from our lives. If not, there's always an opportunity with NASA for him.

After we headed to the doctor we decided that it was high time for us to have our first outing as a family. Turns out, things that used to take two seconds to do now take 60 times as long. Our trip to Target today consisted of us hauling gobs of stuff into and out of the store. Suddenly picking up another package of diapers turned into quite the ordeal. Fortunately, our little guy is just amazing, and provided E and me with a very easy go at things. I don't know what we'd do if he wasn't so benign with us. I think he spends most of his day amused at our bumbling attempts at parenting. For example, when we put him on the scale at the doctor's office today and he proceeded to pee all over everything, I'm quite certain he was laughing on the inside. Because E and I seem to be capable of finding humor in almost anything, we were laughing on the outside.

And now, because I wouldn't be a proper proud parent without some pictures, here are a few pictures of our past few days.

I love the one of him laying down wiht his eyes closed. What a perfect little face. Astronaut? Maybe. Angel? Definitely.
