What a Week!

Home from the hospital on Friday. Papa and Grammy arrived on Saturday. Easter celebration and trip to the doctor on Sunday. Papa left on Monday. Grammy stayed for the rest of the week and helped us adjust to being a family of four. It was so great to have Papa and Grammy come visit! Gabe sure enjoyed (and needed) all the extra love and attention! Thanks for everything!

Update: Overall Porter has been a really good baby. He is sleeping and eating well, and has no problem filling those diapers! Gabe probably has had the hardest time adjusting to having Porter here, but I think we're all getting into the groove of having a new baby now. We think Gabe has finally accepted the fact that Porter is here to stay. Today he was amazingly gentle with Porter and actually played really cute with him. (We've come a long way from him wanting to head-butt the baby!) We sure love Porter and are so happy he's part of our family - It's been a great week and a half!

I love those brother shirts and pictures. Sounds like a fun time. We had an OK first little while when Carter was new, but soon Graysen got jealous of the new baby and tried to hurt him for attention. I just learned not to try to make a big deal about it, and to give more attention to the one being hurt then the "hurter". Good luck. It is so fun!

We loved every minute there. Say hello to Gabe and Porter.

I am always sad to say goodbye to family when they have helped me with the new baby and sibs. I'm glad your parents could visit you...they are so great. You have a great family and I hope everyone continues to be happy! When I brought Jace home, it was a mini nightmare for me because Ronnie was a handful. But now Ronnie is a great helper and loves Becca. Jace headbutts her still and is scared when she is "getting" him. Fun adventure, that's for sure! Good luck!

Sounds like an exhausting week. Glad that you had the parents there. Having family is the very best!!! We miss you and are so glad that all is going well for you. Give the kidlets a hug for me - I sure want to hold that little one. He is adorable!!
