Early days - day 6 of life with Eoin

Well we have made it as far as day 6 in one piece - perhaps a little ragged around the edges from the lack of a solid night's sleep.

So far Eoin is probably on the better side of what we expected - he is eating and pooping with regularity and sleeps pretty consistently for about 3 hours at a time (with the exception of at night where he seems more restless (they say babies' days and nights are backwards initially so perhaps this is the case with Eoin). He did sleep in today - looks like he had too much to drink last night!



Later in the day Eoin went on his first shopping trip around Old Town with stops at the bank, pharmacy, local bakery and coldstone creamery - he kindly donated his ice cream to Biz and I! Here he is afterwards taking a well needed nap after all that fresh air and sunshine!



Then there was tummy time - important for building up his neck muscles and avoiding flat head. He actually managed to roll over from his back to his tummy on his own at one point - we were both impressed.

Biz went to bed a little early tonite to try and get some much needed shut eye before the early morning shift starts - this left the boys to fend for themselves for the evening! So we cracked open a few bottles and Eoin decided that he was going to feed himself - he showed some good bottle handling skills for a complete novice!



Finally it was it was time for a nap on the sofa after all the exertions of the evening:



He does sleep alot!

Eoin's looking great! And it looks like you two are doing great too.

I'm told by Paul and Phil that the first days of baby sleeping a lot ... when you start thinking, this isn't so hard ... well, they're a false dawn! It's gonna change! So don't get comfortable yet!

But keep enjoying these magic days ...
