The first 2 weeks with James...

Wow, having a new baby in the home has been quite the change and we are taking on new roles in this family. First off is Cohen who doesn't know what to do with the baby. All he does do is steal James' binkys, hide his bottles and turn his carseat upside down. Chad is the best Dad ever (as always) and takes the nine to midnight shift with the baby every day so I can sleep. Halle thinks the baby is hers. She holds him several times everyday, feeds him, un-buckles him from his car seat, and now is starting to carry him around the house (which is scary, I know)

and now James takes naps in Halle's doll crib too...this version of playing house must feel quite real.


James is doing great. Very rarely do I catch him with his eyes open. He is the sleepiest baby ever, yet I am completely sleep deprived:) I can't get enough of him.
His first official bath at home was a family event

and I think he liked it!


We are full of joy with this new baby. It has been SO hard and SO busy, but SO worth every minuet!

Love these. My mom took some great pictures when she was there helping you. My new nephew is pretty dang cute. I see a lot of Chad in him. No clue how my brother pulls the late night shift and gets enough rest to work all day long, he must have super powers. You're very lucky.
