3 Weeks Old

Tomorrow Layton will be 3 weeks old! I can't believe how fast the time has flown by! Bryce and I feel so blessed to have him in our lives and to be able to spend each day together as a family! We are quickly adjusting to life as a family of 3 and I have quickly learned so many lessons about being a Mom. As soon as I make coffee or food, Layton will need my attention so whatever I made will always end up cold. I run the washer, drier and dishwasher in the middle of the night, so it will be done in the morning. I now plan to leave the house 20 minutes earlier than I would have before, because not matter what, Layton will need to be changed or eat before we leave!

Bryce and I are enjoying sharing so much time with Layton. Bryce has been such a huge help and a wonderful Dad. I do have to admit that nights are hard when Bryce has to go to work. Being the only person to care for a newborn can be quite challenging at times. This makes me thankful that I have an amazing partner! Sunday nights Bryce wakes up the whole night with Layton to let me catch up on my sleep from Friday and Saturday! I couldn't be more thankful on Monday mornings!

Layton has been growing and changing everyday. He is eating between 3-4 oz every feeding! He is going to be a big boy if he keeps eating at this rate! His face and legs are starting to fill out because of all great nutrients! He loves taking naps in his swing and his boppy. Layton loves watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse because there are so many bright colors. He has also been working on his tan and sitting in the sun when he is awake. Layton loves to look at all the colorful things on his exercise mat! Last night he even watched his first Red Sox game laying on his mat! When Daddy is on duty I catch the boys playing video games! They have been playing Tiger Woods Golf because Bryce wants to start him early!

Other than sleeping, eating, playing and pooping we have been having so much fun together! Each day has been a new experience! I can't wait to give him his first bath in the bathtub this week! =)
