2 weeks old

Dear Gavin, You are 2 weeks old today!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by!!! Even though you are only 2 weeks old we already know so much about you!!! We know you don't like to have your diaper changed..... you scream and scream! As soon as it's done you are back to your sweet Baby Gavin self. At 14 days old you are also back to your birth weight... all 8.5 lbs. You dropped down to 7lbs 11ounces but now your back!!! You're 14 days old!!! But to me you are 14 days new! In 2 short weeks we know... that you like to be held!! Boy oh boy do you like to be held! You don't like to be put down... especially from the hours of 6pm-10pm. That's ok!! I don't mind!! I know how fast time goes by!! In 2 short weeks we know that your big brother thinks you are pretty special. He looks for you every morning! He tells me when you are sad. He kisses your head goodnight! He sings "Good Morning to you! Good Morning to you! Good Morning baby Gavin...Good Morning to you!" In 2 short weeks we know that you have your daddy's feet and toes!! Long and skinny! Not short and fat like Mommy's and brother's! In two short weeks we know that you are pretty sweet and calm! You like to sleep! You like to cuddle! Most of all you like to eat...and... eat and eat! In 2 short weeks we know that you like to look around and see the world! You are starting to stay awake longer... you are focusing on our faces! We love seeing your eyes! We love watching you learn about your world! In 2 short weeks we learned that while you are a super cute baby... you have the funniest scowl marks when you get mad!! Scowl marks right between your eyes! They get deeper the madder you get!!! It's been so much fun getting to know you during the last 2 weeks!

Fun with dad

Owen loves nothing more than to play outside with his dad! They always have such a good time together! I love that James decided to roller blade while Owen rode his bike. These 2 have so much fun just being boys!

Worlds cutest baby and...

Worlds Best Husband! After a night of little sleep my thoughtful husband drops Owen off and school and returns with a Mocha Frappuchino from Starbucks! It was just what I needed! I was craving one my entire pregnancy! YUMMMMMY!

Look what the stork brought

This stork sign is the cutest way to welcome home a new baby! James surprised me with this sign when we brought Gavin home from the hospital. I'm so lucky to have such a thoughtful husband!!! We couldn't let this cute sign go to waste.... we took tons of pictures in front of it!

Such a proud big brother! Owen showed Gavin his Elmo socks! Owen LOVES these socks! It's next to impossible to get him to take them off! Owen and his favorite socks!

In case you were wondering how Owen achieves his awesome hair here are some pics of his beauty routine ; )

Momarazzi

What's a mom to do when the worlds cutest baby is taking a nap? Take pictures of course! I just love how he sleeps with his little hand over his mouth and how he rubs his little eyes with his tiny hand. It melts my heart!

Cooper

Just like Gavin's big brother did 2 years and 8 months ago
it was time to meet Cooper! Only this time there was no jealousy
and no food strikes. Cooper seems ok with our newest addition!! We think he's glad that it's a baby and not a cat.... or another toddler : )
Owen and Cooper's first meeting
