3 week update

Paw Paw and E-Maw Welborn came for a visit the other weekend but Brody just wanted to sleep. I don't think they minded-as you can see they were enjoying some snuggle time. Ashlyn loved having them there to spoil her:)

Our little guy is 3 weeks old and we are all adjusting pretty good as a family of 4. Brody is such a great baby-he has been on a great schedule since the day we brought him home, we try and put him down between 8:30 and 9:00 and he sleeps until 1 or 2 and then he is up long enough to eat and goes right back down until 5 or 6. I love that he is starting to have more awake time during the day-I thought we were never going to see this little guys eyes:) Today I even got a few smiles -oh he is just the sweetest little boy. He is still eating like a champ-he now weighs 9.4lbs and wearing 0-3 or 3 month clothes. I hate that they grow SOOOO Fast.

Ashlyn on the other hand is keeping us busy and a little stressed at times. She just doesn't know how to handle it when we are giving Brody attention. She is a little angel when he is sleeping and I can give her my full attention but when he is awake and I'm feeding him she is in to everything and won't listen to mommy. Last tuesday her B went bye bye for good-I was pretty much at my wits end with her. I was feeding Brody and she came up like she was going to kiss him on the head and scratched him instead so immediately Ryan took her to time out and while she was in time out she peed on the floor. I told Ryan to get her B out of her bed and throw it in the garbage. She of course screamed and we both sat her down and told her WHY it went bye bye and it would never be coming back. I thought for sure we would go thru hell that night at bedtime but we didn't she asked for it a couple times and we told her again why it was bye bye and she would tell us "I was bad" and "My B went bye bye." Its been almost a week and every once in a while she will cry for it but overall it hasn't been bad-wish we would have done it a long time ago.

Its definitely a challenge going from a family of 3 to a family of 4 but I wouldn't change a thing-we have 2 healthy kids that we love to pieces.
