more grandma shots

I think Oscar would agree - two grandmas are better than one.

Oscar is going to miss her magic touch.

Thanks Chris and Frannie!

Grandma Carol finally made it to SF!

In other news, Oscar is working on his impression of a roast turkey.

Thank you to Bonnie and Paul for the super soft blanket and lamb.

Family Time

Here's a family shot of the three of us.

Oscar likes the warm water hair rinse at bath time.

Oscar hangs with his Uncle Chad

Oscar had a great time staring at Uncle Chad's beard.

Eat, Sleep, Poop, Repeat

Oscar seems to have his days and nights mixed up.

He likes to sleep all day and party all night.

Grandma Gayle in SF

Oscar loves snuggling with his grandma.

First trip in the stroller to the grocery store.

My sweet boys...

And the Oscar goes to...

Oscar would like to thank the Academy and grandpa Tim for this most thoughtful award.

Oscar is now a week old

This is how Oscar celebrated his 1-week birthday.

(looking stylish in the onesie Sarah made)

Oscar was mesmerized after Karen brushed his hair.
He was a big hit at Thanksgiving dinner, even more popular than dessert. Most of the evening consisted of uninterrupted fawning by the Great Aunties, despite Oscar's firm attempts to get some sleep :)

Grandma Carol's Masterpiece

Oscar loves staring at the patterns on grandma Carol's beautiful quilt.

This one goes out to the grandpas!

Sleeping like a baby

Oscar has been sleeping very soundly this afternoon (as has his mom).

Welcome Home Oscar!

We are so happy to have Oscar home with us. We love this little man so much!

More pictures from today

He had his first bath today.

Oscar was very mellow and alert when we changed his diaper.

Oscar going home tomorrow morning

Oscar is doing great. He is off his canula, and no longer on IV fluids or antibiotics. He's even been moved to a real crib. The plan is to "room in" with him tonight in a regular hospital room, and in the morning we'll be discharged. We're excited to take him home tomorrow!

Nappin' with Pop

Oscar was even more relaxed this afternoon, sleeping soundly without effort. He still is breathing a bit fast, but this is improving as well.

Update: Oscar breathing a lot better

Oscar is breathing a little better this morning. They took him off the CPAP machine and will be weaning him off oxygen today. Mom and baby had one-on-one time all this morning.
