Makili and his Dad

Today was a tough day for little Makili. Not sure what is bothering him but its been a long day of crying. I think his belly is unhappy. Who knows? He slept for almost 8 hours last night (with a nursing break in the middle). Maybe that's just too much sleep for a newborn?

His little eye lashes unfurled yesterday like ferns, though they're blond and difficult to see. And he seems to have discovered kicking in the last day or so and kicks off of everything, which at times makes nursing a challenge.

I'm tired today and frustrated and hoping tomorrow he is easier, like yesterday. A day at a time.
