Rocco Tacco

Here’s another pic

So it’s been a little more than a week now, hard to believe that only a few days have passed since Roc was born. I think we’ve made the adjustment to our new reality well, though going back to work yesterday was a struggle for me, in terms of lack of sleep and also the fear that I may miss something important in Roc’s development. Fortunately, all he does right now is sleep and eat, and by the time I get home, he hits his stride and wakes up for me. Ame’s taken some time off to come out from NYC to help us out for a couple of weeks, at least they won’t be alone all day.

We’re of the mindset that baby adjusts to our lifestyle, not the other way around, so he’s already been out for sushi, shopping, groceries, Flower World, BiZi Bee, Babies R Us, the park, the neighborhood, the backyard…we have to do some accommodating also; everything takes a little bit longer to do, we have to stop once in awhile to feed and change, etc. Jala3 takes everything in stride and seems to enjoy being out (when he’s awake anyway).

What’s he like? Still hard to tell, but the one adjective that keeps coming up is “mellow.” Seems to like music, especially when we sing to him (prefers ‘70’s pop and soul), is most content when he’s being held, doesn’t matter by whom, and loves his pop (mom too)…

One downside to giving birth: 6 weeks in the desert.
