Here is Kota, again sleeping, the only time I have to take pictures of him, it seems. He's sleeping now too, as I type this. We bathe him at nine, feed him after that, take him to bed and he sleeps till one or two. Then a meal and he sleeps till five or six. He's usually wide awake in the morning, but by ten or eleven he's alseep. Tomo's sleeping now too. They'll both be up in a few minutes for lunch. Everyone says babies change quickly and that you can't predict their behavior a week from now based on their behavior today. He might not always be such a good sleeper, but it's certainly made the transition to life-with-child easier that he has slept so well so far.

Babies are so amazing. They're cat-sized but human shaped. His little hands are beautiful and delicate. His ear is pointy and his hair is velvety soft. A beautiful little creature!
