A week old already

Actually today Quinten is 9 days old. He has been a wonderful newborn who eats, sleeps, poops plenty and has hardly cried yet (a clean diaper and full tummy keep him content so far)! He wakes up every couple hours at night but so far goes back to sleep once he's eaten so I feel like I've been getting some okay sleep. I remember Ryanna would wake up in the middle of the night and then want to be awake for an hour or more - at the time I thought this would kill me. I feel a little more up for whatever Quinten might do. Just take it one day at a time. One nice thing this time around is I know that no matter how challenging something might be, like getting up in the night several times, with a baby it always changes...and in general most things get easier as you adjust and as the baby grows up. It all goes so fast so I just want to enjoy each little stage and the newborn stage is so precious and special. I truly love this growing family the Lord has blessed me with. I learn new things about myself and living life as I care for and enjoy one strong willed 2-year-old, one sleepy newborn, and one great hubby. I hope everyone had a great Easter and took some time to remember that Jesus Christ conquered death and was resurrected and so one day we all will be too.

Easter outfit

Ryanna's first time holding Quinten.


Nap time for the boys.

Mother son nap.

Even Ryanna has had her share of Quinten couch time.

He gets about 50 kisses on the head a day from sister.

Tickling his toes are a favorite game.
Daddy's tummy makes a perfect pillow.

Such a sweet boy. The socks are a must because

he scratches his face up if his hands aren't covered.

Ryanna self portrait. If the camera is in reach she

knows how to turn it on and take pictures. Usually

they are just of the carpet but this one she actually got

her face. Silly girl.
