Mr. Squeaky
Posted by MatthewThomas had fun squeaking all night last night, or should I say all morning. I think it started around 2:30ish and continued until about 4:40ish. Not sure what was going on, but it looked like he was asleep. His eyes were closed but he was wiggling around and squeaking. Now daddy is tired and working at 50% today.
19 Days old!

Thomas is doing great. He is eating well and being the cutest ever. We are getting pretty good sleep if you add it all up. We are learning to split up the times we get to sleep. For the most part, I get around four to five hours sleep thanks to Heather taking care of him around 3am or so.
I am so impressed with how strong he is. He is already lifting his head and moving it around. When I burp him in my lap he can already stand up in my lap. For such a little guy he has such great strength.
When I thought about being a dad in the past, I had my ideas about what it would be like and what I would expect. Honestly, I expected it to be horrible at first. I thought I was going to hate it. However, I have to say that after our being a dad for 19 days, I love it! Crying, dirty diapers, spit-up, urine all over me, it all pays off when I see his little face. It’s hard leaving for work in the morning and leaving my family behind. I can’t wait to get home in the afternoons to see him and I am sure Heather is glad to get some backup. I have to say though that she is wonderful! I have the best wife ever. I knew she was going to be a great mom.
