Three Weeks

I can't believe my baby is already three weeks old! I swear I fall in love with him more each day which I don't even know how it is even possible to love him any more! He is just the sweetest thing in the world. He is already such a mommy's boy which I love. This week was pretty low key. He still doing the newborn thing of sleeping and eating with only a small amount of awake time each day. We have been having some feeding issues. We are still trying to get that all worked out. It made for a more fussy and vocal baby. He sure can cry loud when he wants to. Even though he has his fussy moments, he is remarkably easy to calm down. Usually if I just hold him and make some "shushing" noises, he calms right down. I pray that we work out the rest of the kinks with eating so he can be my happy baby all of the time.

I think that I did a better job this week of giving Ashlyn more one on one attention this week. We had a fun week of playing just the two of us while Dawson napped. Ashlyn is starting preschool this week. She will go two days a week from 8 to 12. She will be going to the daycare she went to while I was working, so she knows all of the kids. She says she's excited to see all of her friends again. I hope her first week of school goes well. The only tricky part will be getting her ready and out the door and to school on time. It's going to be a lot harder with three of us to get ready. I guess I will figure it out.

I'm going to try to post every week with new pictures since Dawson is already changing so much and I want realatives who live far away to truly get the chance to watch him and Ashyln grow!

Since Ashlyn refused to take a bottle as a baby, I'm making sure that Dawson gets a daily bottle. Ashlyn LOVES getting the chance to help and feed her brother. She's a natural.

Joey and Ashyln went to see Gnomeo and Juliet last weekend, and this is Ashlyn in her glasses. She just loved this movie by the way and has talked about it constantly since she saw it.

Such a sweet baby

This is the shirt that Dawson wore on Valentine's Day. It says "Prince Charming".

I love the way he cuddles.

Trying out the swing for the first time. He likes his swing.
