Baby Moses!! (aka His Royal Cuteness!)

(Amy) So, I wanted to dedicate an entire blog post to the youngest member of our Sonrise family :) I just can't believe God has blessed us with these new babies as soon as we got here - who could have imagined??!!
I have had the privilege of having baby duty with Baby Moses many nights lately - and His Royal Cuteness has been just as cute as ever! One of my favorite things to do is smell him! He has that wonderful newborn baby smell, which i just love :) So, half the time (as Betty just told me, "say ALL of the time!) I'm just kissing him and smelling him! We have kept him VERY wrapped up, because Betty has been a Nazi about keeping him "warm"! - THIS IS AFRICA!!! It is flaming hot all the time, and Betty INSISTS that he is cold! COLD! ahh! Lan and I have been going crazy! we are sweating all the time, and Baby Moses is supposedly freezing?! :)
But we have been very good about it though - such obedient mommies! and yes, we think he was born prematurely, so he does need ot be kept very warmed -and of course loved a lot!!!
Oh, and have we mentioned that Baby Moses is not a true Ugandan??! We're not sure exactly what he is, but we don't think he's a Ugandan :) His little hair looks like a little Indian's!
his little face scrunches up in the cutest way when he starts to cry! and he uses his whole body when he cries - so in the middle of the night, I can tell when he's about to wail!
I sleep with him right up next to the left side of my pillow. I have him wrapped up in about 4 blankets - they also add support so he doen't feel like he's sleeping on a hard mattress! :) and then I have discovered that sometimes he likes sleeping on his side, so I'll turn him a little bit sideways, and push another blanket up behind him to prop him up :) then I can stare at his little face while lying on my pillow :)
We put him in the swing for the first time the other day - and he really seems to like it, but not as much as baby Mark does - that boy LOVES thet swings!! As soo as he is put in it, he falls asleep! :) It is a beautiful thing!
Oh, and Baby Moses also gets the hiccups all of the time! Leah said she's not sure she's seen another baby get them as much as he does. But he's so cute hen he does, cause he looks so confused :)
So, I continue to love him, smell him, and kiss him! How can I help it??!

So...Betty just took the computer from me and here is what she just wrote and made me promise not to erase it...
"please pray that Amy washington gets a guy to kiss around cause every single minute she,s kissing.your prayers are welcome and much appreciated please follow her up." - Betty

Laughter should be ensuing right about now! :)
ok, so there's a little tid bit about Baby Moses - His Royal Cuteness :)
Welcome to the Sonrise Family Baby Moses! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
