Day 9

What a wonderfully full week. Little Xander is quite delightful. He looks around with such purpose and awareness. He lifts his head and looks around at his world. Daddy holds him on his chest and he looks up at dad with so much adoration.

We went to court yesterday and there was a baby that was 10 days older who just screamed and cried. Little Xan looked at all the bright colors and took everything in. He loved looking around at all the new sights. He was so... content. I guess that's how I would define my beautiful son, content. Unfortunately, the trip was so long and he spent all day in the car seat. The rest of the day and into today my little boy didn't have a BM. Poor little one was in so much pain.

Finally this morning his pains lessened. It's so difficult to see him in pain and not be able to do anything.

His Poppa Cookie (Scott's dad) knows just how to calm our little man. Xander loves to cuddle with Poppa as soon as he comes home from work. We sure love our little family.

We are waiting for the state compact to be signed by SD so that we can return to our home. We've been here for almost 3 weeks and are ready to head back home to our life. We look forward to the future with our beautiful son.
