Sleeping Baby at Night

MJ will not be swaddled, which does make it little harder to put him down in the cradle at night, but we are successful sometimes.  This photo not only captures MJ sleeping, but it captures a parenting success!  MJ slept for 2 full hours after we put him there and that we were able to get 2 hours of sleep in a row.

Who does MJ look like?

When you look at MJ you can see a little of K and a little of Ry.  But then we pulled out baby pictures and MJ pretty much looks identical to K's baby photos.
What do you think?

K about 4 days old

MJ at about 6 days old

MJ's Professional Photos

When PJ was two days old, a professional photographer came into our hospital room and took his picture.  It was really nice to have these more professional photos to share with friends and family to announce PJ's arrival.  So when MJ arrived we were hoping to have the same pictures done.  Sure enough Day 2 at the hospital the same gal showed up and took MJ's photos.  We really like how they turned out and wanted to share a few of our favorites.

Cheyenne, MJ, Katie, and PJ all getting to know each other...

We are Heading Home

We all had a great night. MJ did great despite the nurse being opposite his schedule. Every time I put him down to sleep, she would come in and check his vitals, waking him up! He had a peaceful morning of eating and sleeping. Now we head home to see G-Ma, PJ, Cheyenne and Rosie.

Miles is Here!

Since this blog is for the G-Rents, we felt the first blog picture we will share is of Gma holding MJ for the first time. He looks forward to meeting the other G-Rents soon!

Brushing with G

PJ loves having visitors. One of his faves is G-ma. She is here helping out with PJ and cheering baby 2 to come out into the world. I love having my mom visit but PJ shows it the best. He is so good enjoying the little moments like helping put dirty clothes in the laundry room with G, or brushing teeth together. I love how he has his arm on her, a little extra love!

PJ in the Big Boy Bed

Last night was a little rough due to an ear infection.  Pj woke up at about 1am and then again at 3am, and just really needed to cuddle.  Ry and I took turns, but Ry was to winner this time round.  He was able to get PJ to go back to sleep by cuddling with him in his big boy bed.  Once PJ was totally out, Ry successfully left him in the bed.  I had a hard time sleeping the rest of the night due to some false labor so I listened for the thud, but I didn't have to worry because he slept solid the rest of the night.  I had to actually wake him up the next morning to get him ready for school.
