Baby C: 1 day old

C’s first day was hot. The little guy was skinny and red and didn’t cry all that much. We faced a diaper adventure since we forgot to sign up for the diaper service and didn’t have disposables. We had some that my mom had given us, but we were inexperienced with diaper-fastening techniques and had quite a hard time with our mega-poop-peeing-every-20-minutes baby. We finished our roll of film this day, and then didn’t take pictures for a few days.

Tina Jun gave us this cuddly blanket. Thanks Tina! C looks sceptical about his new world.

I guess even 1-day-old babies can be unphotogenic.

C definitely was a strange color, but I don’t remember him being exactly this red!

C is about 24 hours old, and already he has learned how to look very sad!

C is about 24 hours old; you can see his hairy shoulders and the funny pattern of hair around his face.

A friend of mine was saying recently how you can’t really tell what a baby will look like but when you see baby pictures, you can tell it’s that particular child. I can really see C’s round little nose here.

We are in an unusual state of dressed-ness. It was a very hot day!

C is about 24 hours old in this picture; he was such a red little bean!

It is hard to believe how tiny and skinny he was.

It is too bad that newborns often look like grumpy old men.

This picture shows off C’s red hair quite nicely (and papa’s fro, too!).
