Settling into a Routine

 Life has slowed down a bit since having Naylor (I call him Bubba), it has been so nice staying home with him, and I love just holding him and watching him sleep.  I just think he is so cute, this past week has been fun, we have ventured out of our house a little bit more.  We have been to grandma's house a few times.  Last Sunday, Naylor got the chance to meet his American cousins, he still wants to meet his Canadian cousins, and can't wait to meet them.  He also got circumcised this week, which was not fun for momma, he cried (and he doesn't really cry at all, he just wimpers for the most part) and he really cried after it was done, and for awhile afterwards.  It broke my heart.  He is doing really good now though, still struggles with sleeping during the night, he sleeps like an angel during the day so I will have to figure out how to switch those days and nights around. Any suggestions???

 Bubba really likes his baths, it is his favorite time of day, he just chills in the water and he has been like this since he has been able to have baths.  I think we have a water baby on our hands.

July 19th was our 4 year anniversary and since we had a new baby at home we decided to hold off on celebrating for a few days.  On July 24th, Riley got off work early due to the holiday so he suggested we leave Bubba with my mom (first time leaving him) and go for a ride in the razor.  We did and it was so fun, but I was ready to be back to my baby when we were done, but it was so nice just to spend time Riley and me for a little bit.

Naylor and daddy just chilling this afternoon.  Daddy just likes to sit and hold him, and they sure look cute together! Love the men in my life.  Riley is such a fabulous daddy and husband, Naylor and I are sure lucky to have him.

Naylor sleeps with his hands up like this all the time, if his hands are down swaddled in blankets he will struggle and complain until his hands are free so he can put them up. He also likes his legs free, during the night I will find him all the time with his hands like the picture above, the blankets over his chest still, and the bottom of the blanket kicked free from his feet so that his legs are free as well.  It is the cutest thing.  Well that is pretty much it for this week. It has been fun staying home with Bubba!

Naylor as of late

We are a few days late on this but, HE IS HOME!!! After 18 days of being in the NICU he finally came home on July 17th. We couldn't be happier that he is home and he is doing great. As of Friday he weighed 6.4 pounds and is 20 inches long. His doctor said he is growing like he should and is a perfect baby. We agree.

 He sleeps fairly well at night, some nights are better than others but for the most part he only wakes up every 3 hours or so so he we can feed him.

Here are a few more pictures of Naylor. He now weighs 5 pounds 15 ounces and is just over 19 inches long.
