Coming up on the first week of being a grandfather. It still feels weird calling myself a grandfather. Not sure if I will ever get used to that.
Silas is doing well and looks like he is on the road to being a normal healthy baby boy. He was a little jaundice but that is normal and should go away within the next few weeks.
Sean and Elizabeth have a long road ahead of them. They are young parents and learning as they go. There are bound to be some ups and downs but generally speaking I think they will do fine.
Sean seems to really be in tune with the baby which is great. I think having Alex around probably helped a little bit with that. Elizabeth was uncomfortable at first, which is understandable, and now seems to be settling into the mommy groove.
I went back and read some of my earlier posts when Toni was pregnant and just after Alex was born and it brought back lots of memories. I am glad I took the time to write about that time of my life. I can refer back to the old posts when I am thinking about what Sean and Elizabeth are going through and share our experiences with them.
Silas had his circumcision yesterday and I cringe just thinking about it. I remember when we went through this with Alex and it was difficult. Changing his diaper and keeping him clean was tough so I know what Sean and Elizabeth are going through right now.
Looking forward to the weekend for some rest and relaxation. I have a large project coming to a close at work next week and it has me stressed out. Just want to make it past that so I can settle down and take care of smaller projects that have been on the back burner.
