Already 1 week...

I can't believe its already been a week. I think it went by alot faster because we were in the hospital for 4 days. =) Oh well....we are loving having our little man at home. Farren is actually super excited that she has a brother and was ready to hold him as soon as we got home. It was really cute! Keagan thinks he is the funniest thing in the world. Somehow, she understands at 19 months that he is something that needs to be handled with care. She is so gentle with him and loves to give him hugs and kisses. It is so sweet! And well....Mommy and Daddy couldn't be happier to have this little man added to our family! Deakon is doing really well, he is starting to get the hang of nursing, and we have successfully made it through 3 feedings on breast alone. He is still pretty small so it seems to be a struggle, but he is getting stronger and better. I am still pumping though, so Chris is able to feed him and bond with him as well. He is such a good baby so far. He eats and sleeps and eats and sleeps some more. We are stringing together about 3 hours of sleep at a time. Not bad....he loves to cuddle and swaddled. And he loves loves loves to be on your chest with some skin on skin contact!!
We love our little man!
