1. Calvin has been pooing real stuff now (no more of that tar-like, sticky stuff straight out of Spiderman 3). In fact, he shot out a blast as we were changing him. Like father, like son I suppose.
2. We got rainbowed!!! As I was changing him, he decided to water the playpen, our bed, some blankets. He didn't get dad, however, I did use my hand to block the flow to prevent over saturation.
3. Calvin and I had some serious meaningful time. Singing and staring...
4. Calvin had his first bath!!!
5. Calvin and Nala had their first real introductions... Nala will just come up and sniff him whenever he cries. She will respond in a maternal way whenever it seems like Calvin is in distress. It's really quite sweet. And then she'll start barking if Calvin goes on for too long. Calvin will then get really quiet and stiff like a rabbit who things a predator is near. It's quite funny - must be a fight or flight response. Nala has been so good throughout this whole deal just being where we tell her to, and constantly wanting to be around - just like a good dog.
Here's some pics of the days events...
Nala meet Calvin...err...Calvin's feet..."No Lick!!!"
Papa and son...catching some zzzs...
Calvin preparing to hit the road...in his sleep.
Happy Feet 2
At first, Calvin didn't like his bath...or maybe it was the fact that mom and dad were taking photos and video while he was nude!
But then, like a good jedi knight, he settled down and felt so good...
And fell asleep in papa's arms. (Note: just like mom, he sleeps with his eye slightly open.)

This is just so precious! First borns get all the attention. He is a handsome boy. Put the new diaper under the old before opening the old then slowly advance to opening the old diaper and be prepared to quickly shut it again lest you get sprayed! I always found that putting the new diaper under the old one was easier and quicker to finish the job. Oh well, this may not make sense I'd probably have to show you.
Missed you at prayer this morning, then again I was the only one who showed up....that's ok, I give grace to new dads.
Enjoy your bonding and hugs to Sarah and baby Calvin.
Love in Christ,
Chris

Mitchel and Sarah,
I am so excited to meet Calvin Edwards. I feel like I am the only one who hasn't gotten to see him yet. I loved catching up on your blog today. (I hope you get this message. I am not "blog savvy".) The pics are great. I look forward to more. You can never take enough!!! I love what was written in one of your comments about the Lord being the best counsel for parenting. How true! Better than any books out there. Will call before we come out to visit. Sarah, I can't wait to hear all about the delivery. Love, DeeDee
I'd love to come some morning this week while the kids are at VBS. I'll call first, don't worry Dee you're not the last one I haven't seen Calvin either. Love you all and hope you're starting to see a routine happen.
Love,
Chris
