Happy 1 week birthday!

Noah turned one week today! He came into the world March 30, 2008, weighing in at a mighty 5lbs, 12 ozs. We are so thankful to God that he is healthy and sound. His daily routine consists of: Eat, Poop, poop a little more, then sleep. We've discovered that he has the patience of his mother when he is hungry (meaning, when he wants food, he wants food now...not in a little bit, but NOW.). As first time parents, we are learning new things every day about how to care for a baby, such as burping (why is it that sometimes it takes him a few seconds to burp, and other times over 5 min? Is it really ok to keep thumping his back until he does?), changing diapers (what is it about a brand new, pristine diaper that makes him want to soil it immediately? Is it his way of marking his territory?), and bathing (what is it about a warm bath that makes him scream and cry as if we're purposefully torturing him? I mean, it's a warm bath, how bad could it really be?). With each day, something new is learned and it makes us fall deeper and deeper in love. He's perfect to us and we can't wait to get to know him better.
