1 Week Old









Draidan is totally taking after his cousin Sullivan and is a super chill baby. He only cries when he is either hungry or needs a changing. As soon as he eats or gets a fresh diaper, he just becomes totally silent and looks around at everything or locks eyes with us. He is sleeping much more at night and just wakes up to feed about every 2.5 to 3 hours but falls right back asleep again.
I gave him his first bath yesterday which had him throw his first tantrum but mostly because daddy didn't know what he was doing. I wasn't wearing a shirt and when I pulled him out of the tub and held him next to me, he tried to get a mouth full of my nipple, which Jenny thought was hysterical. My boss, Zoya, told me to try putting a cloth over him while bathing so he doesn't feel as exposed. I tried that this morning while Jenny was sleeping and we managed to have bath time without a single tear shed.

I had to go back to work full time yesterday but my friend Mike is off for Chinese New Year, so he came to the house all day to help Jenny with Drai. When I got home at 9:45, he had mopped the floors and cooked us dinner. I asked how the baby was and he replied, "Your baby is sooooo GOOD." He is quite impressed with how easygoing Drai is. It is nice to have another friend that likes babies as much as I do. I think he misses his sister's kids back home.

He is coming by again today to help out. He is officially a legend in my books.

Drai just texted me again.
He said, he misses me and wishes we were walking at the beach together.

P.S. We bathe Sullivan fully clothed so he never feels exposed.

Yeh, they do but I had to put a stop to them putting him in the dryer.
