Saxon at 1 month old

he's a little younger than 1 month in this photo, but I had to include it

Some pics of my baby boy at 1 month old....

Saxon has fit in perfectly to our family. I think that going from 2 to 3 kids has been a much easier transition than 1 to 2. I'm used to the chaos and mess by now. Owen and Aaliya adore Saxon, there is no jealousy in this house, if anything, too much love (like trying to get the O and A to leave Saxon alone).

It's amazing how having Saxon has also reminded us of all the things that Owen and Aaliya used to do as newborns and infants, whether it be similar to Saxon or different. We remember that from a very early age Aaliya like to be held facing outwards, never over the shoulder. Owen loved slings, Aaliya didn't. Owen would cry from 11pm for a couple of hours from 2 weeks old to about 8 weeks old - we wonder if we had a good sling at that time whether it would have been such a big issue.

Saxon initially didn't mind slings, though has developed quite a preference for the wrap sling. I love it too :)

Saxon - first week

Here are some pics from Saxon's first week. Owen and Aaliya were just thrilled with their little brother and were constantly wanting cuddles. Oh, and Owen is pulling a pirate smile face and that was the way Aaliya posed for that photo... Other than that, the news to report on Saxon's first week was that he slept a good portion of day 1, then day 2 wanted to have booby all day and night. That part was frustrating but I think the poor little man was hungry and just trying to bring my milk in and get a decent feed. Then, like a newborn does, he slept for the rest of the week, with the occasional alert period. Typical, normal newborn stuff :)
