The first week and a half at home with Sylvan have been fantastic! We are tired, of course, but beginning to get to know him and learn how to take care of him. Many thanks to both of our moms and dad for their help in navigating this new territory! A few observations and things we've learned so far: - Premature babies don't cry much, though ours is beginning to find his lungs. When he does cry he sounds a little like a billy goat. - The Commodores (particularly Night Shift) and Bach's Cello Suites are both great soothing music. - Bill Waterson's inspiration for Calvin's facial expressions MUST have been a newborn child. We may have a miniature Calvin on our hands!
