Since his cord has fallen off, we were able to give Mateo his first bath today. He was crying before he got in the tub, then he quieted down. He really liked the water. Towards the end, though (or as soon as I started bathing him) the cries started up again. At least the crying made for cute photos! :) Here's a link to all the photos we took. And here are links to view videos of the peaceful part of the bath, the not-so-happy shampoo, and of the aftermath. (Warning: The videos are pretty lengthy to download. We'll be fixing that soon when it's not 1:19am!)
I know most people think that digital cameras are wonderful. In general, I do, too. However, I'm learning that since we take SO many photos with digital cameras, it's really REALLY hard to narrow down your selection to be printed. I want them all printed! Anyhow, here are some of my favorite black and white photos from around three weeks old. In other three weeks old news, Mateo's umbilical cord fell off! (No, I'm NOT saving it!) He has also giggled three times now - most likely from a reflex, I know, but it's fun nonetheless. And he's starting to really try to hold his head up more. The dogs are always wanting to be by Mateo. Even when I'm downstairs they like to nap upstairs in front of his bedroom door. I find this very sweet. :)
