Here’s a photo of Obaki on Day 4. He loves to cuddle.

Here is Obaki checking out the world in his video debut.

And here is another video of Obaki on Day 5

First things first – we’ve changed the blog so that you no longer have to register. I think you can use a fake email if you want to post some comments. But please do comment – we love hearing what you think. Also, a big thanks to Heather today for some helpful advice – it really worked.

The next couple of photos show Ryan (Obaki, I mean) checking out the world. This is our favourite time with him -we get about an hour or 2 a day like this. Our least favourite thing is changing the super modged up diapers (which are bright yellow now, we hear that its like a rainbow in the first week).  (edit…I have to add that Grace has been bugging me that her least favourite thing is breastfeeding – hopefully things will get easier.  Ryan is a hungry little devil and fusses a bit because the milk is coming in too fast and finds it hard to adjust the intake.  Hopefully, with time and experience mommy and baby will get things down soon)

It’s Daddy here and I can’t write much as we are swamped with our new duties. We will certainly write more and let you know all of the details later once we get the whole parenting thing under control. Ryan James Wood was born at 3:37 am on May 18 and weighed 8 lbs 4 oz or 3755 grams.
