The first night was, intense. Kieran would sleep for an hour then up for two, sleep for one, up for two repeat 5 times. We found out he is a sucker. When he is up he wants to be sucking on sonething, whether it be a nipple, a dummy(pacifier) a finger, blanket, shirt and he even discovered his hand and middle two fingers. When he is hungry it is really funny and cute, he moves his head around, like he is drowning and sucking for air. He makes a grunting sound till he finds his target usually with his nose first and then makes a sharp jab at Mackenzie's breast then starts sucking like he has been starved for days. He rests his little hand on Mackenzie's chest and he is content for about 30-40 minutes. He likes to eat just like his daddy.
Mackenzie's mom, Rhonda arrived yesterday she will be in town for about 10 days. She fell in love with her new grandson immediatley and is helping out a lot. She is great at holding him and putting him to sleep. And comes in handy early in the morning.
I started back at work today, and have to admit I really missed him. I couldn't wait to come home and hold him. When I came home I found him laying on the bed in the boppy pillow, in just his Diaper and his gloves. He was awake and just staring up at the window. I layed down next to him and played with his little feet. I will really miss him when I have to travel every now and then. Mackenzie and I decided she would have to come with me to Utah and Idaho most of the time. That way he can see his Grandparents and his Cousin more often.

Johnathan, its fun to watch you be a Dad. Keep updating the blog. He is very cute! I used to call Emily a piranha when she was looking for food.
wow I can't believe all of his blonde hair! Where did that come from? What a cutie.
Sienna would do the same thing when she wanted to eat. It definately helps to know when they are hungry. If Mac doesn't have or use it yet, get Lansinoh cream. I think that is how it is spelled. Tell her to apply after every feeding for the first little bit.
YOur little boy is so cute.
He's so cute, I'm sad that I can't hold him and see him in person, Make him give you a toe hug for me, put your thumb on his foot under his toes and he'll give you a squeeze.
