A Visit From Aunt Marie and Little T

We had a visit from Aunt Marie and cousin Timothy, Jr and the kids were surprisingly cooperative about a photo shoot!

Seems like the little man, Ian, and little T hit it off!

This picture was a bit more of a struggle since Jocelyn was quickly losing interest in sitting still!

Jocelyn's Summer Look

Despite this photo, Jocelyn hates wearing this hat ~ but she is so fair skinned, we can't have her outside for any length of time without her getting burned otherwise.And she is adorable in it so I couldn't help capturing the moment!

Monday Morning With Grammy ~ Week 8 for Ian

Ian loves being held when he is awake, which is still not very often these days. He is still sleeping about 18 hours per day (so other than my 3am to 6am battle with him, he couldn't be any easier!) I have called the doctor about 30 times to ask him if that is normal and he tells me to enjoy it because he will start waking up soon! When he is awake, you can see he has a killer pair of dark blue eyes. If the color stays the same, these eyes add to why we have our work cut out for us in a few years keeping the girls at bay!!

Jocelyn's new game is opening and shutting doors, making our new phrase around the house "Watch out for fingers!"

Jocelyn is laughing with Grammy...

And Ian is doing the same!!

And both of them are enjoying some snuggle time after a weekend away from Grammy!

Time With Poppa This Weekend

Poppa enjoying the NBA playoffs with the little man.

I think Ian is liking the attention.

Jocelyn on the other hand is in the hallway...

Amusing herself...

Playing with the gate...

And flashing her baby blues!!

Hanging Out With Grammy and Momma

A moment of repose...

The little man just hanging out in Grammy's arms, enjoying the snuggle.

Since I was showered, I let Grammy take a shot of the little man and me:)

Jocelyn could have cared less about the commotion...she was occupied with her crackers and milk while the photo shoot was going on!

Ian's 1st Real Smile

Ian decided to give us his first real smile this morning. He actually gave us a number of them. I caught 2 of them with the camera!

Looking back on the blog, his big sister gave us her 1st real smile during her 5th week so he is a couple of weeks later, but these were certainly worth waiting for!!

Ian's 7 Week Birthday


Ian is 7 weeks old today and seems to have fully recovered from his trip to the hospital last week. He still has a few days more of antibiotics but appears to us to be doing great! We have one more test on Friday to determine if there was an anatomical reason why he got the infection or if it was just bad luck ~ all signs so far point to just bad luck! I am attempting to get him to smile in this video and there is some evidence of one towards to end of it. Take a look!
