pictures can be deceiving


so stinkin' cute here, huh? don't let the little chubby armed, hallmark moment fool you, friday night was crazy! all went well until early evening. Serif had been good all day, he "ate" in the late afternoon, evening came around and he seemed hungry again. he basically ended up using michelle as a pacifier, doing fine as long as he was attached but would let out horrific screams, almost like he was angry, when he/we would pull away. put him back he was fine. this went on for almost an hour and a half. he'd start to eat then fall asleep so we put him in the bassinet so we could get rest. the little guy would stay asleep for a few minutes and then get fussy. after a couple of hours of this the nursery came down and we decided to let them have a shot at it so we could rest. 4 hours later we were awaken by the nursery with a perfectly content, sound asleep little boy.

hopefully we're going home today but boy would it be nice to take one of those nursery gals home. they have some sort of magic touch.


turns out the magic touch was food. they fed him a little through a syringe and he went sound asleep. i guess he's not getting enough quite yet from mom. it'll come though. they assure us it'll come.

the picture above was taken in between screams. simply beautiful. i'm sure we'll remember these moments a lot more than the fussy ones.
