Two Weeks New

It's only been two weeks.  It's been 14 days since Decker's arrival and, yet, I can barely remember what life was like without him.  He's joined our family without resistance from any one of us and the transition has been so smooth and so natural it is, as if, he was always here with us. Perhaps, he was, in our hearts.

Love is overflowing in these walls around us.  The 5 of us who lived here three weeks ago have each fallen in love, in our own way, with the newest family member, and none of us can actually picture a life without Dex.

As a result, I forget how young he is, how new to the world he really is.  I forget that he is supposed to be off-schedule and mix up his days and his nights, because that is what newborns do.

My littlest guy is new to this world and new to this family, yet it certainly doesn't feel that way.  He has always been a part of us!
