Christopher ended up being a 1/2 ounce lighter and a 1/2 inch shorter than his big sister but I'm guessing he would have been a 9-pounder if he was allowed to come on his own. At first I thought he didn't have any hair but once they brought him over we realized he had a head full of blond hair. Both of us had lighter hair when we were little, but Christopher is as blond as my brother (the only blond) was when he was little. Funny how genetics work.
David's parents had arrived on Madeleine's birthday for about 10 days. It was nice to have the help although a certain someone got pretty spoiled. She also moved to the preschool room in the midst of all of this so going back to daycare this past week was a bit of an adjustment. She wanted to go back to her 'old friends' and then she flat out didn't want to go at all. Hoping next week goes a little more smoothly.
Things are going pretty well though. He is a great eater and a decent sleeper, despite his hatred of the swaddle. With Madeleine, the miracle blanket was the ONLY thing I tried that actually helped her sleep for any amount of time. Christopher manages to break out his arms and legs in no time and then falls asleep with a look on his face like he is taunting 'go ahead mom, swaddle me up again, I dare you'. In other words, he is his father's son.
Here are a few more picture. For those interested, there are more pictures uploaded to myphotoalbum.com (link is on the right). Have to keep the grandparents happy by keeping the photo website updated.
Please stop disturbing my sleep to take my picture:
Surprise, surprise, sound asleep:

oh what a gorgeous wee man you have there.. another alternative for swaddle houdini's is the Peke Moe sleep sack, many babies who don't like swaddling or who are being weaned from swaddling seem to love it
