Welcome to the Family

I have propped on my lap our new little man! Trevor Thomas was born September 15th

He is as perfect as every newborn should be. A cute button nose, deep blue eyes, and a toothless smile that comes when least expected. He eats like a champ, sleeps like an amateur and poops like a pro!

His proud big sister Bella is great at kissing his head and tickling his toes. She does not like that his crying drowns out her music in the car or that mom helps her with one hand instead of two. She is becoming a baby expert though. As she reminded us at 4am "Eat, sleep and poop. That's what babies do mom."

The best part is that it happens despite me. I know I won't be getting "Mother of the Year" for a few reasons:

-it has taken me 3 weeks to announce his birth online (though my wonderful sister did it for me immedialtely) and there in no indication that a snail mail announcement will go out anytime soon.

-I have given him only 2 baths in over 3 weeks (and actually dad gave him one of them)

-he has no crib, no Pack&Play, and no bedroom. Therefore, you will find him most often sleeping in his bouncey seat...even at 3am, but he doesn't seem to mind.

-he stays in the same outfit, which most often consist of a onesie and maybe some socks, for about 24hrs before I change it (unless it gets bodily fluids on it, then of course I put him in a new outfit, but keep the same socks.

-despite the fact that he is growing out of his newborn diapers rapidly I will keep put them on him until the pack runs out because I can't stand the thought of wasting them.


So here we are trying to figure out how to be a family of 4. One day you may even see a picture of all 4 of us..but don't expect it to come in the form of a card around the holidays. I will figure out how to get that done after I master getting the kids and myself dressed before noon.
