Finally Interaction!

A little tummy time......

Big Brother practicing his 'soft touch'.

The other night while Devin was playing with his PlayDough I decided to sit at the table and fod towels. Devin quickly lost interst in PlayDough and decided he would rather just hug the warm towels. So much for my bright idea of multi-tasking.

1 Week Old

We're so happy to have been blessed with another little (or should we say big) boy. Things are a little crazy around here and we're trying to get some kind of routine established although I'm pretty sure that won't happen for a few months. Gavin thinks he needs to be held most of the day and is battling some gas issues making the evening a little difficult.

Devin is adjusting pretty well. At first he pretty much ignored Gavin's existance and now he's getting more interactive with him. Just this morning Gavin was crying in his crib and when I took him out Devin was acting like he wanted to hold him. I put him down to Devin's level and he gave him a hug. I thought it was pretty sweet.

As time goes on I'm sure things will get back to normal around here.....but until then I think I'll be glad to just get a shower and everyone fed and diapers changed every day.

New Found Fun in the Swing

Devin has been eyeing this swing in new brother Gavin's closet for quite some time. Today I decided to get it out and let him get to know it again. After playing with the music and lights for a little while he decided to have a seat. I was a little afraid the 32 lb. monster might break it but it actually still swings him. After a few minutes in it I could tell I wasn't getting him out anytime soon! He LOVED being in there. I had to teach him to lift his legs onto the seat because they are absolutely too long now and drag the floor. After about 10 minutes of swinging he was FAST asleep! It was so cute I had to get some pictures. Too bad he wasn't this fond of his swing when he was a little baby! I have a feeling that we're going to have to test all of his old things when they come back out of storage. We've already wanted to test the bassinet, bouncer seat, and now the swing.
