Father & Son Time

Last night Mike got to bathe Samuel for the first time. In this picture he is getting his hair washed. Good job Daddy~
Samuel is 4lbs 4 oz now. You can really tell in his face that he is getting older and gaining weight. The tube in his mouth is to suction out any air/gas or mucous that builds up. Hopefully, he'll get to eat again soon.

Mike brushed his hair and gave him a little part on the side.
Isn't he just precious.
All cleaned up and wrapped up in his new receiving blankets. Thanks Monte, Monica and Madeline. We love you guys!
We've never instantly loved someone so much in our lives. It's great to be a parent!

You have been truly blessed. Sammy is such a handsome little boy. You make a beautiful family.
I will be anxious to see and hold your precious Sammy, when you finally get him home.
My love and prayers to all of you.
