Finally some sleep!!

So finally last night Austin decided to let me have a little sleep!! He's been doing this thing where he'll sleep awesome at night, as long as you hold him. Oh and he would want to eat like every hour or so. Not good on the sleep for me!! He started off in his bassinet and I was shocked when almost 3 hours later he woke up to eat. Then he continued that pattern all night long. What a great night for me and sleeping! I feel like a new woman today! Lets just hope he wants to continue that sleep habit tonight and the nights to come!

Our little Austin is 2 weeks old already!

So today is Austin's 2 week birthday! I cannot believe it. These past two weeks have flown by. I guess that's what happens when you are sleep deprived, you lose track of time. This kid seriously has his days and nights mixed up. He'll sleep during the night, but he's gotta be held by someone for most of it if you want him to do a stretch longer than an hour. Hayden totally spoiled us by sleeping through the night pretty much from the time we brought him home. Hoping we can get him back on track soon. Austin is perfect other than his sleeping habits. We took him to the doctor today and he is already weighing 9lbs. 6oz! He's gained a whole pound since we had to take him last Tuesday! He's an eater that's for sure. He's looking great and his umbilical cord stump also fell off today so that was exciting as well. Here's Austin at 2 weeks old:

Hayden loving on Austin. He still likes him so we're in luck!!
Stretching out. He's such a big boy!
I know they say it's just gas but he does it all day long!! I tell myself he's really smiling at me. Sometimes I'll kiss on his lips and he does it. I just happened to catch it on camera.

Our perfect weekend with all 3 boys together!!


Hayden loved helping Colton walk! They were already up to no good trying to get the broom out!!


These were my 2 favorite pics of the weekend. They truely love eachother!! I love the one of Colton with his arm around Hayden. They are such cuties!!

So we got to have the perfect weekend with our nephew Colton visiting shortly after Austin was born! That meant we got to have all 3 of our perfect boys together for the first time! Hayden loved every second spent with Colton and they played all weekend long together. My mom was in heaven with all three grandbabies together! I wish we all lived closer so we could do it more often and that my brother was there to share in the moment! He'll be home in about 2 months though and I know he is so excited to see his son and nephews and we can't wait to all get together then!!

Since we've been home with Austin...


Hayden welcoming home Austin. He loved laying in his crib with him and wanted to snuggle close, a little too close at times!

Hayden's 1st meeting of his little brother. At first he didn't even want to look at him but after a bit he was in love and couldn't get enough of him!!























































































































My first blog!!

So I've decided to start a blog finally to keep everyone up to date on what's going on with our little family! I've been thinking about doing it for a while and decided that now that our family has grown to 4 it's a great time to start! We recently added little Austin Kyler to our family on July 15th. I was induced 3 weeks early and it was a good thing cause he was 8lbs. 7oz. 21 in. long and I couldn't imagine what he would've been after 3 more weeks in my belly! He's absolutely perfect and we couldn't imagine our life without him. Hayden is in love with his new little brother and loves to give him kisses and hold him. Totally shocking to us cause we didn't expect him to welcome him so nicely and fast into his little life. We are truely in love with our little boys and can't wait to see them grow up together and start playing.
