My glow baby

Because of his high biliruben/jaundice levels, poor little Daniel is now stuck on his little blue tanning bed at least 20 hours a day.


He doesn't seem to mind:

But I sure do. I miss cuddling with him! I just want to hold him! Still, it seems to be working- his levels are down to 17 now, as of this morning, and odds are we only have a few more days on the machine. He's also finally gained a few ounces and only woke me up once every 3 hours last night.

Other exciting news:

WE HAVE CURLS! I was bored while breastfeeding when I looked down and noticed some great curls on the back of his neck. Our dreams of having a hobbit baby may yet be fulfilled:)

Here's one of his favorite expressions- it's even better with the eyes open:

(this is one of his favorite faces to pull, only one step up from quasimodo-face. When his eyes are open he looks like Zoolander, much to my dismay). But nothing beats the Elvis impersonation:

(oh, I was so close to getting a real smile on camera)

And I'll throw this pic in just because I love it:

His expressions kill me! What a little personality already!

What a chillax baby. That light bed looks like something off of ET.
