Mother's Day 2013

motherhood is one of the very best gifts the Lord has given me.  it's hard but it is so very worth every second.  

saturday morning manicure with my almost 3yr old.  new earrings and coffee in bed from my hubby.  4 different types of pancakes with bacon from the whole crew.  morning at church and post-nap afternoon/evening with my family spent poolside.  

nice little weekend :)

Big Sister

Lofton is obsessed with babies.  We prayed that this love would not be lost on her little brother.  The Lord has answered that prayer and thus far, she has been in love!  

She asks to hold him several times a day.  She frequently talks about how much HE loves HER :)  She smothers him with kisses.

She is still a toddler and wants mommy to carry her and to put the baby down and has probably had a few more outbursts than normal, but this is to be expected.  Overall, she has adjusted so well and we are thankful that our first love is adjusting to our second.

First weeks

I cannot believe that my little man will be 2 weeks old tomorrow, and I also can't remember life without him.  He has been a super sweet little pumpkin so far and his precious big sister has remained utterly in love.  Nobody better mess with that baby when she is around, because I am pretty sure she will let you have it!  E eats every 2.5-3hrs during the day and gives me one 4hr stretch at night.  Only once has he not gone right back to sleep during the night.

Picture below is on his 1 week bday.

We went to the doctor yesterday for his first check-up and received an A+.  At 12 days old he was already 7lbs 2oz, which is 10oz more than his birth weight, yay!  

STATS:

7lbs 2oz-13th%

19.8in-19th%

head-50th%

it's official, my children are shaped like blow pops.  loving our little family of 4 :)
