: My sweet little baby is here!!
: Tobias Patrick (Toby) was born Tuesday, October 23, 2001. He weighed 8 lbs 10 oz, and was 22 inches long. He was 4 days late, and Mommy wasn't happy about it at all.... but really don't mind, now.
: He came home from the hospital weighing 8 lbs 3 oz, and had his newborn checkup with our dr at 1 week old, and weighed 9 lbs even. He eats well, obviously, LOL, and sleeps EXTREMELY well during the night, I usually nurse him to sleep as we're going to sleep, and he wakes once, twice a night sometimes, but rarely, and we're up for the day at 6:30 (the bigger kids leave for school early). He's got a little bit of very light brown/almost blond fuzz on the top of his head, he's awake and alert for long periods of time, and he loves to look around... doesn't have a fussy time of day, and is quite happy and content, except when he's really hungry. And, he smiles!!! He SMILED at me today, and he's not even two weeks old (will be tomorrow) and no one will convince me that it wasn't a real smile. He was awake, and I was holding him out in front of me, and he made a sound with his mouth, and I repeated it a few times, and his whole mouth just opened up in this most beautiful big grin.... and, a bit later, when he was asleep, I heard him giggle.
: All the kids just love him... he's perfect!
