Takeo Tada Tremp-Byrum - Pictures 7 Born 5/28/2009 2:06am Pictures from Week Three Previous Next Home To see bigger images, click on the photo.
		This is photo from the NICU - just showing all of the wires & monitoring things on his legs. Also there is a GPS tracking device and an alarm on his legs. If someone tries to take him out of any of the infant areas of the hospital, a silent alarm goes off and the hospital goes into "lockdown" mode. They do this for ALL babies born there. Top notch security!			Shot of Papa-san, probably day 3 - clearly, I forgot the 28-blade Fusion Razor System at home. And contacts were clearly out of the question...			THIS was "extra cot" that they gave me in Trish's room during Post-Partum...
		...and this is it opened up. Yes, it's a narrow as it seems. The best analogy I could give is this must be similar to what Snoopy feels when he sleeps on the roof of his doghouse. My gluts got a nice workout keeping me on the bed...			Gift from my co-workers and by far, one of the best things we received, because so far Takeo does not want to sleep in his crib. His favorite sleeping places is either the vibrating rocker seat or someone's chest or arms.			A happy, sleeping baby is a happy parent...
		Dude looks like he's conducting an orchestra from his baby pram... (hmmm... I graduated from Berklee College of Music and majored in Classical Composition... hmmm...)			I believe this was a shot by me of me sticking my finger in his yawning mouth. It turns out his motto is "if it's round & in my mouth, it shall be suckled"...			Auntie Amanda bending down to tell Takeo all about the animals she has photographed (and fought the urge to "rescue" and bring back to the SoCal Center for Estranged Animals, which also happens to be her parents house - DBA).
		The rival baby is BAAACK!!! "Have at you, Takeo!!" It looks like a young Hugh Grant mugshot from LAPD. (Again, before you contact DSS, Takeo simply sleeps with his hand against his face and this is the result. Try it yourself - lay down on your hand and take a nap, even you are at work - tell your boss it's for science).			Okay, THIS thing rocks!...			...quite literally. It is the Graco Sweetpeace swing and it's kinda pricey, but I highly recommend it.
		This is Takeo in the Sweetpeace. It comes a velcro swaddle that the seatbelt wraps around (and threads through). He actually looks like a little Hannibal Lechter, especially when he has his binkie in his mouth - "Hannibal the Garanimal".			If he doesn't start off fussy, it soothes him really well. Doesn't work all of the time (nothing does), but a surprising amount.			Another shot of his rocket / vibrating seat, just wanted you to see that he can sleep at a 90 degree angle (again, try this now on your desk - then call a chiropractor).
