Although she is only 3 weeks old, it is crazy how you can almost watch her grow and how the human body develops. Placing her on her stomach helps her to develop the neck muscles she is lacking. At first (a week or so ago) she was not very good at this. Yesterday, she was able to move her head around while on her stomach... I guess she is growing up fast...
Pop Scirrotto feeding her
Amazing how a few ounces of formula will knock you out cold when you weigh 8lb 1oz

Talk about a complete change in your life...
Relaxation, Organization, Reading quietly to yourself, Freedom, Spontaneity, Good night sleep... These are a few things right off the bat that become a thing of the past. I guess in time they will come back, slowly.
It's funny the different things people say to you to get you "prepared" for parenthood. Most guys say things like "life is over once the baby comes" where most woman say things like "it is going to be so exciting". So far, I have found both to be very true. Life as I knew it IS over. I always liked my peace and quiet and not being bothered by anyone if I wasn't in the mood. If I felt like reading a book, that is what I did. Get up and go work on the yard, a house project, go to my shop, or go surf the internet aimlessly, take a nap... Now, no can do.
The flip side to being on-call now 24hrs is that beautiful baby that needs me. Without a few simple things, that baby is a mess. Feeding her, the sounds of your voice, a clean diaper or the warmth of your body just cuddling with her are the only things she craves. How can you deny her that? All of your old ways seem selfish and you realize how much unnecessary stuff really fills your day. It reminds me the words to one of my favourite songs by Lynyrd Skynyrd that I recently heard a remake of by Shinedown. The remake was ok... I would rather the original. But I wont get into my thoughts on music as that is not what this is about.
Simple Man:
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day
Oh, take your time don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will
Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man

So it has been a roller coaster of a ride, the first week home. So much to learn, and so much time to learn it when you dont sleep. It is amazing how many hours are actually in a week when you cut sleep out. Ha!
trying out the stomach lay
I like all these new blankets and clothes mom
Are you guys sure this is formula?
Claudia loves to eat
That silly Sunny is still waiting for someone to play with her string... Sunny, you are going to have to wait until Claudia eats.
BURP!!... ok, I'm ready for more
What is going on....!?!?!
Don't let my eyes fool you... I am exhausted
Listen... I'm just going to suck on my hand for a while
Ok... I am ready for bed. I'll be up in about an hour or so.... so dont go to far
Tired? Who me? Not at all...
If you are going to give me a bath, make sure you get under my arm. I dripped a little milk down there and its starting to get to me.
That bath is going to feel great, but first let me squeeze this out
