The Afternoon

Amos is now almost five hours old, and he's already had lots of adventures. We've moved down the hall to the mother/baby unit, and he's already had his temperature checked about a hundred times. He learned how to eat, almost immediately, and so far he's spent most of the time sleeping or eating.

Here are a few photos from the afternoon.

This was about 2 minutes after birth. It was love at first sight. I'll let Jessa do a blog sometime to explain the many differences between a first baby and a second baby, but let's just say she's in great spirits.
3/4 of the fam.

Amos has amazing little monkey fingers and toes. Here, he holds my finger while getting poked and prodded by nurses.
Snoozing under the lights.
He loves to hold his hand up by his chin, just like his brother did.
The aforementioned monkey toe. Seriously, look at that thing.
Stop messing with me!
Feet.
Coooooooooooone head.
Amos and his YaYa.
Dad and Amos.
Dad and Amos, again.
The family. When Eli got to meet his baby brother, he was much more interested in seeing Mama and getting "a bite of Mama's ice, please" than hanging out with the Bro. This was the best attempt at getting everyone to look at the camera.
We like this one.
Eli hearts hospital ice.
At the end of his visit, Eli was saying his goodbye. Unprompted by anyone, he looked at his little brother, who he'd ignored most of the time, and said, "night night, Amos." I thought Jessa was going to cry.
