We’ve been home with Peter now for a few days. Vanessa, Peter L. and I went crazy last night for New Years, first we watched Grown Ups and then went to bed around 9:45pm. It was a party! Needless to say, I’ve never felt better on a New Years day morning. I’ve been up since 6am hanging with Junior. I think we’re adjusting to things pretty well, the hardest part is those 3am crying sessions but other than that we’re working good as a team to keep him happy. I’m getting pretty good at changing diapers too, I think I can do it in under 45 seconds now. At the hospital I think it took me about 3 minutes and the nurses would look at me and give me that “what the hell are you doing, man” look. There’s definitely been some moments where I smell something and wonder if it’s me or him.

We had a nurse stop by the house yesterday and check him over again. She said he’s looking great, but couldn’t confirm any dates as to when he’ll be able to swing a club or cast a fishing pole. I’ve also been introducing him to his spaceship swing rocker chair thing. It’s like the iPod of chairs. Or as my colleagues would say “it’s like the Flipboard of chairs” but that’s a Zeus Jones inside joke so…

I’ll take some video of this spaceship rocker swing chair thing in action this week. It’s pretty awesome.

2010 definitely ended on a high note with the arrival of Peter Jr. I’m thinking 2011 is only going to get better. Lots to look forward to this year. My new attitude for the year is to take things one day at a time. Don’t worry about tomorrow or the next week, just focus on today. Happy New Year everyone, I hope you all have the best year to date!
