My Little Guy

TJ has been the best baby and we are so lucky to have such an easy baby! I want him to know that even though my pregnancy and after birth were really hard that I would do it all over again for him. It hasn't been easy, but it sure has been worth it!

  •  He is still sleeping lots. Sometimes for 7 hours at a time. 
  • He hardly cries and when he does it isn't very loud or demanding at all. 
  • He smiles when I touch his lips.
  • He has very vivid dreams- one minute he is smiling and the next he has very worried wrinkles on his face.
  • He isn't bothered by the very loud noises of the other 4 children in the house.
  • When his hands aren't covered, which isn't very often, he loves to suck them, especially his thumb.
  • He weighed 5lbs 14oz at his 5 day check-up and 6lbs 11oz (though the weighed him in his clothes and diaper) at his 2 week. 
  • He is a very slow eater!
  • Allyson calls him "Say Say" and they both want to "Hold, Hold!" all the time.
  • He is loved by all of his siblings.
  • Newborn diapers and clothes are big on him.

Spencer's first time wanting a picture with him. He was very scared of how little he was and didn't come too close for awhile. He is sure a cute brother.

I has to be one of the absolute cutest babies on the face of the earth. I just want to snuggle him and kiss him! Ah so precious! Look at you the blogging queen! I can't believe you are this caught up with it!

These pictures are so tender. And are you kidding me right now with the 7 hours of sleep thing??? You deserve it, but I am so jealous!

How funny that Spencer was nervous to hold him. It must be a "guy" thing since the girls are clearly all over him. :) I love the picture where TJ is yawning.
