Though the pictures indicate alot of sleepy time, Murphy is certainly very attentive and alert. His big brown eyes prefer to be open between the hours of 10pm and 5am, which is taking some getting used to. Our routine is getting better and we are starting to adjust. And this adjustment also includes Harris. After initally looking for Weimeraner rescues last week (you all know i'm not serious, but was close:) he is making good progress. Harris has moved to the #2 spot and is starting to understand. He still wants to be close and by my side at all times but sees that most of my attention is with Murphy. You can see in the photo, size doesn't matter to him, he still wants to snuggle.We've had a revolving door of visitors and helpers which has been nice. Grandma and Grandpa Johnson headed back to Texas yesterday and Emily (in DC) arrives tonight. Next week Grandma Dunn from Michigan will visit and then Amy (in Arkansas) the first weekend in September. Matt's siblings will also try and sqeeze in a visit in the coming month's (Mike in Idaho/Montana and Kerry in Portland). We have lots of family anxious to meet Murphy.
After all the advice and stories about what to expect with a new baby, nothing can really compare to experiencing it yourself. I think both Matt and I feel overwhelemed with joy, love and responsibility. We thought owning a house made us feel like grown ups, but having a baby and being mom and dad to someone is what makes you a grown up.
