A Cry Stilled...

Today I went to go feed Elijah and he was crying when I got there. Poor little guy was hungry! Imagine how pleased I was then when I picked him up and he immediately stilled. He is learning so much already. He already knows who daddy is. (Or at least he knows what it means when he gets picked up) :P

I am glad in a way that this birth and our last one were so completely different. All the processes are so different that their really is no comparison. With Chrissy I was just so excited to be a new dad and see how special she is. But with Elijah, it is such a treat to go see him because we do not get the privilege of having him with one of us 24/7 yet. AND I can go see him on my own when Liz is tired and resting in her room. Just a little quiet father-son time where I can put him to sleep in my arms and then spending the next hour trying not to fall asleep myself. Soon I will have him home and get to enjoy my favorite past time that I had with Chrissy: couch napping with infant on top.
