my heart

my heart is growing more and more full with every day that passes. and that fullness seeps into every cell until my entire being is pulsing with love for my sayan. we are so blessed.

tummy time

we try to put sayan on his tummy for 5-10 minutes every day. it's sposed to develop his strength and crawling coordination. he has super powerful legs, if we put our hand behind his legs he pushes forward and scoots along. we'll try to get some video of that too.

daddy time

sayan is most alert and expressive when he is with his daddy. jaison has a way of inspiring connections and communication that no one else does and sayan loves looking at and interacting with daddy. jai tells sayan stories and sings to him and sayan eats it up and responds. it's the most fulfilling experience to watch them together. i love my men!!!

Auntie Christen

sayan's favorite person to sleep on is auntie christen. no matter how fidgety he is, as soon as she holds him he immediately settles down into the deepest and looooongest sleep.

morning eyes

at night sayan has started sleeping in 2-3 hour chunks, 3 1/2 when i'm really lucky. it was definitely hard at first but i'm adjusting and feeling pretty rested these days. well, relatively speaking!! the hardest thing is sometimes he wakes up for feeding at 5:30 just as it's getting light and he is awake and wants to have awake time. i want to play with him and encourage awake time but i'm also so exhausted i just want to go back to sleep. i have to say sleep usually prevails...
