Charlie's first week at home

So far, it's been quite stress-free this past week.  Probably because my in-laws are here to help out!  Pop-pop has been very helpful keeping Graham occupied and Charlie just seem to melt in Grandma's arms and fall asleep peacefully.
Here's Charlie at 1 week old...
We had Graham pick out a new toy for Charlie at the store and he came back with a sock monkey :-)
And Graham of course, came back with a toy for himself too!
It's amazing though how many diapers we are going through just in the first week.  Seems that it's quite normal for breast-fed babies to have runny poopy diapers.  And according to the lactation nurse, it will last about 6 weeks.  6 weeks!!! I couldn't believe it when she said that!
In any case, I think Charlie is going to end up bigger than his big brother Graham. He's been drinking so much more milk and check out the size of his feet!
I thought they looked bigger than Graham's at birth and I was right!  Charlie's foot prints are the ones on top:
Hopefully things will continue to go well once Grandma and Pop-pop leave. It's tough to be mad at a little thing like this one!
