SAKIUSA NASUIKAU VAKALALA 21 inches, 9lbs 7oz, born on February 11, 2012

While he is named after his father and grandfather he we will be calling him Nasuikau-not Sakiusa or Jr! My Saki is too precious to me for me to call anyone else by that name, but I am glad to name this child after him! He tends to sleep 2-3 hours at a time, with 2-3 times a day of cluster feedings/and fussiness. I have been negligent in keeping in contact with people because I've been focusing on baby and Mere and Glenn, and enjoying time with my mom and now my dad who have been able to visit!

We had his baby blessing today-though we just we left right after sacrament meeting because he's only 2 weeks old and I like to have the kids be older before everyone swarms them :) but we wanted my dad to be able to participate in the name and blessing.

Here's some photos!

The first week: 

 My mom's birthday February 16th!  Seru's birthday was February 10th, so we had a joint birthday dinner.

 New tub : ) He likes the sling thing-I guess it feels like he's being held.

 Keeping Grandma busy while mom rests : )

 10 days old. . . the kids have been wonderful with him-trying to kiss him and rub his head and hold his hand. It's fun to see them so loving. Mere was a little young when Glenn was born, and less interested. Now they're both very interested and excited!
