One Week Old!

Myles is a week old now! It has been the best week of my life. First of all, he's an angel of a baby - eats well, sleeps well, poops and pees well (for those of you who don't have babies, just know this is a very good thing). He has a cute tiny cry, not too loud or high pitched. I love his little ears and his huge little feet.

My recovery has also been very smooth and relatively easy, so that made the week go by easier. We've even been on a couple of walks. It's nice to have some of the pregnancy discomfort gone. I can bend over again! And lay on my stomach!

Also making this week great is having my mom here. She has helped us with the baby, lending her experience, which makes the whole first week much less scary. She has helped organize and clean the house, putting up pictures and mirrors on the walls - which had previously been bare. She sewed a quilt! which I've been meaning to do forever (as in, I've had the kit for at least 7 years). Curtains were hemmed and sewed, hooks for towels put up, and a hundred other little things that make our house much more homey. And she made minestrone soup for us - I LOVE Mom's minestrone soup! I'll sure miss having her around when she flies back to Utah tomorrow. Love you, Mom!

Without further ado,
the part of the blog you've all been waiting for,
the very reason you even came to the blog today...

Myles! One week old!

His "one week old" photo shoot. 

His cute big feet! I think the line across the big toe is interesting.
Featured on both feet. 

He loves to chill out in the sitting burp position.
He's happy to just sit there and look around.

Checking out Grandma and Grandpa Briscoe.
Dad managed to have a long layover on his way home from a business
trip so he could meet his newest grandson. 

Just cute. Alert and skeptical, apparently. 

Some more one week photo shoot.

Cooperating for the camera - for the moment.
