Our Little Hero

This little guy is serious. He's had a lot to be serious about, for sure. The pictures we received a couple days ago gave us warning. We have yet to see him smile, but the Good Lord put him in the right family. We are confident he will be smiling, hopefully even laughing, very soon.

Jimmy and Daniel have come a long way during the night. Initially, he was not sure of Daddy or Grandpa and even cried when they came near. I felt Jimmy's pain, but thankfully he's wise enough to know that it's temporary. Jimmy's been great at allowing Daniel to bond on his terms, not on ours. He's such an awesome Dad.

It is about 3am and Jimmy and I are up with Daniel. Since he passed on dinner, he is obviously very hungry. He is snacking on Cheerios and water. He has been coughing throughout the night, but he doesn't feel feverish right now. We will try to see a pediatrician tomorrow.

I am thrilled to report that he seems to love his Juice Plus gummies. Any of you who know my passion for Juice Plus know that it thrills me for him to get that added nutrition, especially since his paperwork indicated that he's not fond of fruits and veggies. We'll work on that one, but for now--we got back up!

We promise pictures will come in the next couple of days.

You guys are doing great. He is sick and scared now but I bet you he won't be serious for long. Did he get a chance to see his sister yet?
