Mateo's First Two Weeks

Hello out there! While we are adjusting to some family changes and school routines, I'm taking a break to share photos of our baby boy, Mateo. As I'd mentioned in an earlier post, he's really the newborn that I'd been hoping for - that "good" baby that sleeps a lot, eats well, barely cries, and takes a pacifier. Phew! It really helps as I'm trying to do my very important job as home executive. In other words, praise the Lord! 

Today he is three and a half weeks old, but here are a few pics of his first 14 days.

Looking back on the best August 27th of my life. 

We just discovered the effectiveness of swaddling, which mimics my cozy womb, he thinks.

If he closely resembles anyone in the family, people say it's his big sister, Paloma...for now.

His hair did come out thick and black, but shorter than his sis's. Cuteness!

The little man wasn't too happy we made a Mateo Sandwich out of him.

Getting to know his papi through newborn blurred vision.

Mateo also got to know his paternal abuelos while they'd been staying with us and helping out loads.

Mateo listens to his big sister as she explains a few facts of life...or maybe figuring out how to tag team me when I'm alone with them.

I'm gonna say it again. Guapo!!
