We've been doing well the last couple weeks. This baby is pretty laid back and not very fussy. He is pretty content to swing in his swing or look around in his bouncy seat (something his older brother didn't enjoy at all!) He's nursing great making my life easier (especially at night).
Sink bath..not a fan:(
He does not like being cold, Cam is the hot natured one so this is a change for us! Pretty much the only time Brooks cries is when he is being undressed or having a diaper change. He's growing too. We had some issues with a plugged tear duct and have been to the doctor twice about it in the last 2 weeks. It's starting to resolve, after lots of tear duct massage, warm compresses and antibiotic ointment. But he now weighs 9 lbs 4 oz! I'm pretty happy about it! He's almost outgrown his newborn clothes and diapers. Everyone always says how little he is, but I feel like he's getting pretty big.
Sweet Brothers
Cam is settling into being a good big brother. He does have his jealous moments and has some acting out times which is in part to his age I think. Still doing great with the potty training. We have about one accident a week, mostly at home. The daycare is proud to say they have no accidents.
We've been blessed with lots of visitors and everyone has been so generous! Our sunday school class has signed up for 2-3 days a week bringing us dinner, which has been a Godsend! It really helps us out to not have to worry about cooking a dinner and having something prepared for us special. We have been sent lots of happies (money, personalized gifts, etc). Trey's sister's boyfriend, TJ's mom was so sweet to make Brooks a owl quilt which I'm in love with!
Mrs Milcic's owl quilt, so sweet! And the outfit is from the Richardsons, cute!
She also remembered Cam as a big brother and got him a Noah's Ark with all the animals which he plays with daily and has even tried to take to bed a couple of nights :) He lines up the animals in "trains", one of his favorite things to do.
Our Sunday School had four babies born within 2 months of each other. 2 boys and 2 girls. We all decided to meet up for lunch last week to have some adult convo before the first lady goes back to work. I have to say I know I have some work to do on my weight, but I'm at least 4 weeks behind everyone else and I think once I can start doing some walking it should come off better (I'm in a walking boot for the next 6 weeks!) but I included the pictures anyway.
Other than that we had our newborn photo shoot 2 weeks ago with Ramblin Rose Photography and they are precious! I will include some photos soon. Next weekend is our sip n' see for all the ladies in our lives to get a chance to come enjoy brunch at our home and get to meet Brooks! Trey's mom and sister along with my mom and sister are hosting and it is going to be great!
