One Month Old...Already?



Oh the smiles!!! I had forgotten how exciting all the new stuff is with a baby! The first smile, the first coo, etc. It is crazy how much he has changed in a month. We are doing wonderfully and Tyce STILL loves his brother to pieces! He is such an amazing big brother. He wants to feed him. He gives him a binki when he is fussy. He tells me "mom...Kaze is mad...you need to feed him!" Thanks son, I'll get it done.

I really can't express how in love I am with both of my boys. It really is a love and a feeling that you just won't understand until you have kids. Kaze has decided that he is a mamma's boy. I am really excited about this because Tyce has always preferred his dad and it seems that Kaze prefers me but I am very sad for Mark. I hope as Kaze gets older, he warms to his dad (and other people) more. But for now...I guess I will take pride in knowing that all I have to do most of the time is touch or pick up my baby and he is content once again.

And my husband...oh my husband. He is wonderful. He works so hard for our family and is such a great dad. We are blessed. My heart is full today! So, I am going to go make dinner because Mark will be home soon and will surely be hungry and I will make a treat for my friend who just added another son to her home and I am sure she will appreciate the fat filled goodies she recieves while trying to loose her baby weight (I know I did)! LOL!! Really though...we shouldn't have to worry about "loosing baby weight" until after our 6 week checkup. That is my new rule...so eat on sistas!

Have a great evening everyone! We are going to go root on Daddy in his soccer game tonight!! Go Team!

Crazy Kaze Update...



Kaze is doing amazing!!! He is growing so fast. He was 7 lbs 13 oz at birth and in 5 days he lost almost a pound and was down to 7 lbs 1 oz because he was exclusively breastfeeding and wasn't getting enough. So, we started supplementing with formula and in just over a week, he was up to 8 lbs 6 oz. Seriously...this kid eats ALL DAY LONG!!! Uh oh...another Tyce. We both better get more jobs to feed these boys. Can you imagine what their teenage years will be like? Time to start buying in bulk! LOL!!

He is sleeping several hours at a time and all together, I get a few hour stretches in the middle of the night adding up to like 7 hours of sleep a night. I am soooooooo happy about that! He is so sweet and cuddly with big beautiful eyes and he is smiling! I LOVE it but can't seem to get a good picture of the smile. In time right? He is sleeping in his own room in his own crib and has been for over a week now. Yes, this took bravery on my part but the baby monitor is by my ear all night.

Tyce is still in love and still very soft and gentle with his brother. He shows Kaze to everyone proudly! I didn't realize how big Tyce was though until Kaze was born. I want Tyce to be little again too. I don't like that he is growing up but at the same time. Two babies sounds like a lot of work and Tyce is a big help! He loves to feed his brother and show him rattles and share his trucks. I find heaps of cars and trucks in Kaze's lap from time to time. Just yesterday Tyce stood in front of Kaze and said..."Uh, he is not getting bigger yet...I need to play with him"! Sweet huh?

Well, that is enough rambling for now. I will stop boring you all with my mommy mumbling but I love my boys and this is good journaling for me. God bless you all!

More Halloween!

More pictures of Halloween! Aren't they...uh...cute?
