Vincent

Eddie's little brother Vincent joined us unexpectedly early, Tuesday morning! He is wonderful and healthy. With birth weight 7 lbs 6 oz, he's much smaller than Eddie ever was. Vincent loves his Mamma and likes to be with her all the time. When she holds him, he is often very sleepy. When Papa holds him, he often gets riled up, which is good because then he's awake enough to eat.

Vincent is very good at hand control already! He can hit Papa in the face when Papa is making him mad, and he grabbed my glasses off my face and threw them on the ground when he was only 4 days old.

We tried tummy time for the first time today. He managed to roll onto his back, all by himself! (I remember Eddie managing a similar feat around the same age; he didn't do it again for many months.)

Eddie likes to rock Vincent's bassinet, rub his tummy, and sing him lullabies (we're still working on proper volume.) Eddie has also started crossing his eyes a lot, in imitation. Eddie gets excited when Vincent is awake, saying "Baby's eyes are open?!" Then he'll hold Vincent's hand and say "Look at me, baby. I'm your big brother."
