| Phoenix |
Life continues to be grand. He turned 3 weeks old this past Sunday, and he is growing like crazy. Normally the parents don't really notice until someone stops by and comments on it, but he's growing so fast I can see a difference every day. However, this has made him pretty damn grumpy, so Wolf and I are really putting our team-playing skills to the test. Luckily we rock at working as a team, which means that so far neither of us has really gotten too frustrated or tired. Connor is even thoughtful enough to give each of us a fussy session every day. I get mine around dinner time, and Wolf gets his at around midnight. Since Wolf is a night person anyway, he takes the night time shift and I generally get up around 3am, take a nap for a couple hours, and then start my day. It works pretty damn well if I do say so myself.
Now that Connor is getting bigger, I feel like I need to find him a nickname. I've never been really big on making sure that nobody knows our names (as evidence by me sharing my Bewitched tattoo) but I don't like the idea of us being easy to google. When I got nicknames for the girls, I just let them pick for themselves. They don't know about my blog, but I told them that I wanted fake names to use for them when I'm online. They picked Lullabelle and Calapy, which I thought was pretty damn creative. Obviously a 3 week old can't pick his own name, unless it's "AAAAaaaaaaaaa" and that's just annoying to type.
So, I think I'll go with my first choice for his first name, and what ended up being his middle name. (Well, first middle name actually. We gave him two middle names so that we could keep a family name in there for the second middle name. But now I'm just getting confusing.) So, from this point on he will be known as Phoenix. For any smart asses out there (like Wolf) it has nothing to do with the city in Arizona. It's the bird who dies by fire and is reborn from ashes. I think it's a wonderful myth full of ideas about stregnth and rising above hardships.

He is so beautiful. He just looks so peaceful lying asleep on your legs. I never really realised how amazing babies are but they are truly little miracles. This realisation has come since my sister became a mum. At the moment I'm loving reading about and seeing pictures of everyones!!!
