Fatherhood...

MOTHERHOOD...

Motherhood is downright AWESOME! I am still getting used to motherhood, but thus far I can only embrace it with joy. I have been adjusting to sleeping a few hours at a time considering I never liked interrupted sleep. Now, I wake every few hours to breast feed. I am actually trying to train myself to consciously feed her cuz sometimes I awake looking for her in her bassinet only to find her laying on my stomach with her head hanging off the bed! (Really)

It is pretty interesting, though, seeing her learn through repetition. She now realizes that she has options. She knows that she has the choice to have a clean diaper. She can choose one nipple over the other and she can choose her swing over my arms (or vice versa). I almost have her potty trained at 11 weeks. Kibwe just brought the potty upstairs so we are going to see how this goes. But hey! Every morning she awakens, sits on my lap, leans forward and does her do... RELIGIOUSLY! ! She even chooses this position throughout the day when she gosta go.

She looooves her some Daddy! Jehan really makes him feel good when he comes home for lunch or after work and she give him this great big grin. She laughs with him and talks in this chatty way as though she is giving him an account of the day.

I Love JEHAN! She is so alert (when she is awake). She has this look as though she really knows what's going on or that she is really trying to understand what is going on.

Daddy's Fam

OMIGOSH! Jehan's family right here in Pittsburgh were definitely anxiously awaiting her arrival. Pictured above is her cousin Jelani who is 5. He is only one of 1,045,345 family members that are on Kibwe's side of the family. I thought I had a big family with 14 first cousins. Every time we go out whether it be to the supermarket or just driving by on the street, he points out a family member. I usually say, "Oh is that your 5th cousin," but turns out it one of his many brothers, sisters, cousins or something. In fact, he has three men named Ernest (and they aren't fathers or sons) and I think he has a couple Franks and 10 Jelani's an 7 Brianna's (ok, just kidding). If you click on the image above it will take you to a host of images of Jehan's family on Daddy's side.
