Yes, Ivanhoe, those ridiculous bear slippers that match the ridiculous Christmas outfit

Mom wanted to be SURE we got photos in that outfit to butter up the MIL.
Alisha, he seems to have decided it's okay to open up. Now if only he'd open his mouth as wide to latch!
Oh, and hubby reminded me that he was quite swollen the first few days (you can see the crease above his nose in the first photos that's almost completely gone now) and the swelling has gone away. Makes a huge difference!
I can't believe or understand why his face was so swollen and bruised. I think it was the malposition from the SPD thingy (that symphis pubis something or other) and that's also why I felt fear and unusual pain when he was coming down the birth canal. I think he was coming down weird or something.
