Nev's early weeks

With my Mam in for a visit, we had some early shots of Nev and adapting to parenthood in Adelaide. The following are some shots from those early weeks. Nevlin really has this amazing ability to fall asleep in a drunk'in milky stupor. You can see the mark that he had from his forceps delivery between his eye and his ear.

There are many mornings with a newborn where you are up for the sunrise. This is not something that is usual for me, but some are so beautiful. Think of all of those that I've missed!

I'm sure for all of those who have kids and even for those that don't...the following scene is absolutely typical. Dad, who is sleep deprived falls asleep with Nev in his arms. I held my breath that no one would move before or after this shot.

It wasn't all sleep & no play. We made it out of the house a few times including one up to the Mount Lofty Summit. There is a tower there, were Ma & I paused for this shot. The view was a bit hazy and none of those shots came out very well.

Nev has a few preferred items including two that are in this shot. One is his pacifier or "binky" or soother. He really loves that & although we don't try to use is all the time, it can pacify him when we need it & know he's had a bunch to eat already. The other one is that bug that also has a plastic clapper pinned on. Noise is our friend!

As I mentioned, Nevlin is obsessed with having his hands around his face. This is a typical scene in the crib of the little man.
