After a difficult first night at home things have become significantly more peaceful here at the Jones Abode. We were told today that it is very normal for babies in their first weeks of life to sleep soundly all day, only to go all Jekyll and Hyde at night. Who knew? (Not us.) There was very little sleep to be had last night, but we're doing our best to make up for it today and this sunny saturday afternoon is proving to be quite conducive to lazy napping.
The more subdued pace also gives me a chance to put up some new pictures from yesterday and today. After a 3 night hospital stay Jen, Aiden and I returned home yesterday, and were joined shortly after by our fuzzy friend Bailey. It has been amusing to observe the first tentative interactions between dog and child. Bailey is interested, but with some reservations (although none so serious to prevent the occasional exploratory lick to the face.) Aiden seems somewhat oblivious of course, as he is more or less oblivious to the world in general. It does seem though that Bailey takes somewhat of a protective attitude in his approach to the baby. When Aiden is laying on the bed, or curled up on our laps Bailey likes to lay close by- keeping a watchful eye on his new friend.
I was able to take a few pictures of the both of them together. Look carefully and notice Bailey's feigned indifference carefully concealing the unabashed love and devotion that he is most assuredly feeling. The other pictures are of Aiden on his (not so long) journey home. At the hospital we realized that his "going home outfit" was a tad on the baggy side, the sacrifices we make for fashion...
Overall, it is just great to be home. It's so fun to be here with Aiden, and I love thinking about the fact that this house is were he will make his first childhood memories.
Welcome home Mr. A.
