Owen's firsts
Owen had a few firsts today that give me hope and make me happy:
- For the first time, he fell asleep in the car seat. In the car. And without shrieking himself into exhaustion!
- He fell asleep and stayed asleep on the couch. Sure, he was on his tummy, but it's the first time he's slept NOT on a person since we came home from the hospital. I would feel better if I could put him to sleep on his back, but I got over the freak-out factor when Katie refused to sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time on her back. I don't generally fly in the face of what "they" say, but we all gotta sleep, right?
- He had his first bath. We got lucky and his stump fell off earlier in the day, so it was even a full bath. He wasn't thrilled, but he saved the worst screaming for getting dried and dressed.
- I got the biggest, most beautiful (completely unintentional) smile. And as much as I know he didn't mean it, I'm thrilled I got to see it.
