Dallin Jacob Burdis

Three and a half weeks ago, Dallin was born at 2:13 AM. He weighed 7 lbs 8 oz and wad 21 inches long. He is so adorably sweet and we love him so much! It's amazing how someone so tiny can completely change your life and how you look at things. I love being a mom and time has passed so quickly! I feel like I just barely had him.

The first couple of nights at home were pretty rough, but now he is getting into more of a routine. The past couple of nights he has slept for about 6 hours straight. Hopefully that will continue! Dallin is very strong willed. He tries to kick our hands away when we are changing his diaper and most of the time he cries and screams at the top of his lungs. By the end, his voice is hoarse. I always hope our neighbors can't hear him and think that I'm torturing him! I love watching him when he's falling asleep. He makes the best faces. He smiles a lot and occasionally, a laugh comes out. It is so adorable! I can just sit around all day holding him and it's hard for me to not do that and actually get things done. I am already learning from him. The biggest thing that I am learning is to be patient. Especially when it's the middle of the night and he's wide awake. I have to rock him and eventually he does fall asleep - just not as soon as I want him to. Dallin has brought so much joy into our home and we are so glad he's finally here!
