One week old today

James Peyton-one week old!

James is one week old today! We are doing great and adjusting to our new life at home. James eats every 2-3 hours so that keeps us busy! He is also sleeping about 3-4 hours at a time at night so he is letting mommy and daddy get a little sleep! Here is what babycenter.com says about how he is growing this week:

Your baby's eyesight is still pretty fuzzy. Babies are born nearsighted and can see things best when they're about 8 to 15 inches away, so he can see your face clearly only when you're holding him close. Don't worry if your baby doesn't look you right in the eye from the start: Newborns tend to look at your eyebrows, your hairline, or your moving mouth. As he gets to know you in the first month, he'll become more interested in having eye-to-eye exchanges. Studies show that newborns prefer human faces to all other patterns or colors. (Objects that are bright, moving, high-contrast, or black-and-white are next in line.)
