I've been thinking about those precious moments we've had in the last 6 weeks with our little miracle...
starfish fingers against my breast while feeding
eye contact and the first smiles
a gorgeous naked belly (after losing the umbilical stump at 3 weeks)
koala snuggles on mommy's chest
cooing in his sleep
sucking away on a pacifier for the first time (success at last!)
his 'crazy eyes' when he's wide awake and excited
the funny sounds that come from trying to cry w/a mouth full of pacifier or nipple
These are the moments I hold onto during the tough times when he just won't go to sleep and seems to be so unhappy, or when I am so tired and at the end of my tether. Our little miracle, so hard to come by and so very loved.

Yes! Thanks for the new pictures and the precious video. I wish we could see him in person! It's so ironic that when they're small enough to just cherish and cuddle and marvel over, you're too tired to enjoy all of it. Then when they're older and you're less sleep deprived, they suddenly want to become real people and don't quite do just what you'd like them to do all the time! Oh, these kids!
what an angel! He's precious.
I agree with peaceliving! If only they could stay small and cuddly until we could fully appreciate and enjoy it without the cloud of fatigue!
I'm glad you're cherishing all of the precious moments. He is such a doll!
