Living up to his name

Ten points to anyone who remembers what Armaan's name means. Ok... It means "heart's desire." So far, the little fella is living up to his name. He is really the desire of how every parent wishes their newborn child was. He eats, sleeps, and fusses only when he wants to eat, or needs to be changed. He is so unlike how Priya was. With her, the slightest bit of overstimulation would set off hours of crying and fussing. So 72 hours need not be a precedent, but I'm hoping it's the start of a pattern. We would love it if he ends up staying this way. We had such a difficult time with Priya in the beginning, that with Armaan, both Tish and I keep waiting for the change to take place. But I was telling Tish today - just like I refuse to accept as a "given" that Priya will go through "terrible" twos, I refuse to accept that Armaan will be anything but a blessing. Can I get an amen to that?


Tish is happy after a quick delivery

She is still the princess of the house. It's the kingdom that's been divided!

Oh my, I just want to squeeze those little cheeks!! Zachariah was like that when he was born. Very laid back, didn't fuss unless he needed something. He was a great baby, and now a great four year old. I believe boys are easier to care for, but you'll have to let me know for sure! Congratulations again!

I love the picture of him yawning with the grandparents! Boys are totally diff than girls, I do believe that even after just a few days old I could tell the differance. Equally wonderful but different!
