Once there was a full head of hair ...


Little Jaime's has lost his newborn hair. Well, almost all his hair. If you think the Samurai style hairdo photo is funny, it is much more amuzing in person. He had long hair on the back of his head since he was born. That is, he has a pseudo mullet. Now all that is left is this cute patch.

6 weeks old and already a looker

Our little one now responds to us with smiles and lovely baby sounds. He is also very funny, but I am not sure why. He makes me laugh with such joy, a feeling so genuine I have not experienced in a long while. It is amazing how a new life can bring such raw emotions back into our hearts. He reminds me everyday that life is worth living and that I should lighten up a bit (a lot Mike would say). I am so lucky to have such an amazing kid (baby) as my son.

What a Set of Hands

Thanks Kari and Ken for the sling, Jaime feels like a pea in a pod near Daddy's heart.

As time passes his facial features get more detailed. He looks less like a baby and more like a little boy (I know he is not even close from being a little boy yet, but he looks so different from the little lump thing we brought home some weeks ago).

What I love the most about him are his huge hands, as you can see on the last picture. He has my dad's hands but with longer fingers, thank the universe, Baccus and Ra for that!

He is now 5 weeks old and he behaves like a little hungry angel. I am slowly getting used to the mommy routine and I look forward to the 6 week mark so I can leave home with him and go shopping and more important, go visit friends and show him off. I have grown very tired of being inside my house all (most of ) the time.

Breastfeeding is not going so well, He is getting "the boob" every other feeding, but it is not enough to satisfy his hunger, so he gets formula as well. He is my little tub o' lub (not sure how to spell that).

We are so lucky to be his parents. I am specially lucky that I can care for him day after day without worrying I will have to leave him to go back to work. Being a mom is one of the best roles I have had so far in my life. Thank you Michael for that. :)

A Gemini Scorpio

Jaime's badass side. This was his reaction to a comment Rachel made about his baby weewee . Seconds after this shot was taken he walked out of the room huffing and puffing.










This is his angel side, which is around most of the day. For his nightime mood see above.
