Oscar at 6 weeks

Oscar has stolen our hearts from day 1. He is a charmer. He just stares right into my eyes and I don't want to put him down to do anything, and I really don't. Juan has had this week off and has next week off as well and it is such perfect timing. It's a lot easier to take care of and give ample attention to 3 kids when I have a partner.

Some things about Oscar:
He loves to take his naps on his tummy when we are right in the room with him.
He eats very quickly and does not like to be put down right after eating, he needs to be snuggled for a few minutes. 
He loves his sisters and has started kicking in excitement whenever they come around. He hasn't quite smiled yet, like in response to us smiling at him. But he is super close!
He wakes up once in the night, about 4 am to eat. He does not like the swaddle and gets very angry when we swaddle him, but he doesn't fall asleep is he's not swaddled.
I like to sing him Golden Slumbers as he falls asleep. Or I am a Child of God.
He screams probably twice a day, during lunch and in the evening. But he can quickly be calmed by being held upright and snuggling into our shoulder. He loves it. He could be held like that by either me or Juan all day.
We weighted him at 1 month and he was 10 lbs 11 oz! He definitely has Maya's chub cheeks which are just irresistible.


 He looks at us like this a lot. Ha!

 Oscar at 1 month.


 And here he is at 5 weeks, after his first day at church.
 He is adorable all dressed up!

 Saving lives in his sleep. Ha!

Such a good baby! So fun that he gets excited for his sisters. We can't wait to meet him. Judson is so excited!

Oh he's so cute!! It's still so weird to me that you have a BOY! Love that his little personality is already showing, and how fun to see him excited about his sisters!

That is so nice that he is sleeping so well in the night. That gives me really high hopes for when we have our baby. I am going to miss having my sleep for that first little bit but it really won't be that long.

He is getting so big. I love that he gets so excited when the girls come around. How fun.
