Slade 1 Month





I know it existed and I'm sure it was good, but I can't possibly imagine life again without this little sweet heart. And I can't imagine my older two kids not having the opportunity to love on this little peanut. As far as babies go, he falls somewhere in between baby Savannah (pretty terrible although we loved her madly anyway) & baby Spencer (pretty much perfect). He is a fantastic eater & sleeper. He wakes up once in the middle of the night to eat & once pretty close to morning (5ish). And the rest of the time he is pretty happy...as long as he's being held. He loves being held! And knows if you put him down (even if he's asleep). This made the nights challenging until we borrowed an awesome little baby rocker that cocoons him like he's being held. He has been holding his strong head up from the get go (just like his siblings before him). He smiles while dreaming which is adorable and makes sweet baby coo's. He loves sleeping in the wrap while I wear him around which is how I get anything done. And he loves his daddy big time. Daddy knows the perfect way to hold him out & bounce him when he's fussy. His big sis is the most help & has even changed his diaper! His big brother loves to hold him, but usually only for about 30 seconds while giving him eskimo kisses & then declares "too heavy!" Most people upon seeing him confidently say he looks just like baby Spencer-we agree! I love how similar our babies look!! He completes our little family & he makes us each happier and better!
