Of course, it's not *really* just another Sunday. It's Erik's first Sunday at home!! He's doing so well. He hasn't slept much at all the past 2 days/nights and I was finding myself getting a little frustrated at him and his increasing grumpiness, but last night, praise God, he slept 13 hours straight!!! He woke up, got bathed, fed and generally cleaned up and was soooo happy!! He was so cute! So cuddly and funny and everything wonderful. What a difference SLEEP makes!!
I KNOW you're supposed to keep things low key at first, but he's doing SO well adjusting to new things and I do have other kids to take care of and entertain, so today we went to the mall! He did fine, like he goes to the mall every Sunday. He loves to look out of the window of the van, and has a GREAT view from his seat. (Reese took this one.)
Here he is last night, konking out on the Big Bed at 7pm. He sleeps in the most horrible positions like I've seen pictures of other kids with Down's do! Ick!! Fortunately, he has no problem sleeping in his crib in his room - it's just tough for him to actually *fall asleep* in there. Eventually he will, we hope...!
What can I say? The boy LOVES to take a bath!! Doesn't freak if the water's in his face or anything. The only thing he doesn't like is when I shampoo his hair. It's not the water that's the problem - I think he doesn't like the "head scrubbing"!
Awww... Isn't this the sweetest?? Mark with two of his great loves: his piano, and his new son.

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.

Aww... he's cute. Maybe he needs to go no 'poo (shampoo) like I did, haha. ;)
I found your blog while hopping from one to another.
Peace.
He is just so cute!
When Jimmy was younger, he would sleep like that too. I would go in later and check on him and then unfold him.:):)
