Just born--I think he kinda looks like Grandpa Willis Sauder in this picture a little bit. Dr. Akihiro attended the c-section, cut the cord, rubbed off Kenji-kun, and counted toes and fingers! There aren't words to describe the emotions of meeting one's baby the first time!
So thankful for my Japanese mom next door who brought Grandma Ito and Tomoki to see baby Kenji soon after he was born.
Tomoki was kinda scared of the baby at first because he was crying, but as soon as Kenji started chugging the bottle and quieted, he wanted to help. Now we are basically breastfeeding and it was hilarious to see Tomoki immediately pull up his shirt to check out his anatomy!
Kenji seems to be a very easy baby so far and I haven't felt so relaxed and pampered for a long time! It has been a blessing to spend a quiet Sunday in my room with Kenji and listen to a sermon.
Here's a link to a you tube video of Tomoki helping to feed Kenji.
