Hello all! It’s been a quick month since the birth of Avin and I have to say, It’s been a wonderful first month! A big change has happened and Adrienne and I are taking it in with open arms.

I was a little apprehensive at first about how I was going to handle a newborn baby, but as soon as I held him the first time, none of that worry mattered anymore. Parenting seemed to come so naturally that I never needed to double check myself about holding him, changing him, or feeding him. Our family was incredibly wonderful and made sure to help us out when we needed and also give us the space to relax during the chaos of it all.

Avin has been doing extremely well, and we couldn’t have asked for such a perfect boy! Everyone keeps telling us that we’re lucky to have such a calm and alert baby, so we must be blessed. Thanks to the book my sister recommended to us, Babywise, we’ve been able to keep a pretty good schedule of parent directed feeding which allows the entire family to be happy and get enough sleep to make it through the day.

I may be getting ahead of myself when I say this but, taking care of this baby isn’t half as hard as everyone makes it out to be! We figured out a comfortable controlled chaos atmosphere where everything important gets done and everyone stays happy, including baby. We’ll see what becomes as he gets older, but I doubt Adrienne and I will have any problems with him since he’s so amazing already!

BULLY!
