Baron's First Week at Home



Hey everyone! As demanded, here are some more pictures from the past week.  Baron is doing great! He sleeps at night really good, and in his own bed!! This is amazing  to us since it took Jackson a month to sleep on his own and at night.  Baron seriously hardly ever cries, except when we change his diaper..... he really hates that for some reason.  He is a really good eater and just can't get enough, which is good because the doc wanted us to feed him a lot to get his jaundice to go down and its working!  Jackson of course has had a ruff week and has been throwing little temper tantrums here and there and demanding lots of extra attention, especially from me, but he is getting better each day, and he is always really nice to the baby.  And he is also a really good helper!  He especially loves to help change the baby's diaper and give him a bath.  We think after the initial shock of having a new one join the family and once things get back to more of a routine, he is going to love being a big brother!  So that's the short version of an update, and here's what you really want..... more pictures! Enjoy! :)

he loves being bundled up and he loves his swing
Cuddle time with Daddy

He loved his first bath at home!


And Jackson was really excited to help out with the bath even though he pretty much just played with the water, but he also liked brushing Baron's hair- even though he doesn't have much!
All bundled up and warm again- he slept for like 4 hours after his bath!
I love how little he looks in his carseat
Getting all bundled up for his dr.'s appointment- Did I mention it's been snowing?!  The weather has been crazy- very cold and lots of snow for Oregon.  The roads were scary and not fun to drive on since they don't really have the resources to keep them all plowed and people here do not know how to drive in snow, but we had to take Baron into the dr.'s a couple of times to check his jaundice level. Church was even cancelled last Sunday because of the snow! And sadly, John's family has yet to meet the little guy due to the bad weather :(  ..... hopefully it will all melt soon!

I love how small he is in the car seat!!! I love the picture of Jackson combing his hair, that is great. I am so glad that he is sleeping in his own room and sleeping good. That is awesome. Love all the pics, he is a cutie.

I want to hold him sooo bad! It still kills me that I couldn't come up because of the weather AND being sick. It's definitely one of my NUMBER ONE priorities when we get home.
Can't wait to see you guys! He is ADORABLE - but that's no surprise!! :)
