Our First Week

I can't believe that it has only been a week since we brought little Harry into the world.  I feel like he has always been here.  The week has gone by fast.  He has been such a good little baby so far.  He sleeps during the day, and likes to stay up all night...but at least he likes to read with me.  He is a good eater, and I can't wait to find out how much he weighs at his appointment next week.  He is quiet, and never really cries unless he is hungry (knock on wood that this doesn't change).  He reminds me so much of Clark when he was a baby, just more serious and reserved.  He loves to watch what is going on around the house, especially his little brother.Clark on the other hand is not adjusting to well.  The sweetness that he showed his brother when they first met in the hospital is gone.  He just dose not like having him around.  Every morning when he gets up and sees Harry he gets this really frustrated look on his face...and I just know he is thinking "crap, he is not gone yet".  He mostly just ignores the baby, he won't sit on the same couch, or even acknowledge whatever parent is holding the baby.  We tried to attempt a picture with the two of them, but Clark would have nothing to do with it (especially when he saw the baby sitting on HIS couch..he was furious).  We are trying to do things that make him still feel special, and we haven't changed our routine too much.  I am just not sure what else to do...except give them time.  I am hoping someday soon it will just click, and he will be happy Harry is here...and hopefully it will be before Harry's first birthday.

Happy one week Harry!

Tuna will warm up to him. It took Gavin a good 6-8 months before he was willing to pay any attention to Keaton. He mostly ignored him. So I would have John exclusively pay all his attention to Gavin so he didn't feel left out. After we got in the swing of things it was okay. As far as taking a picture with Keaton, he STILL won't sit for a picture with Keaton.
Hang in there!

Poor little Schrute! I hope tuna loves him soon! Does he not like to share his couch with anyone, or just little Schrute? Can I sit in it?
