We welcomed a new addition to the family on Valentine's Day. Caleb was born at 7:21pm after about 11 hours of total labor and a little over an hour of pushing. My parents were able to get to our house in time to take care of Payton and Shane's whole family was able to be at the hospital. Everything worked out wonderfully.
It has been an adjustment since bringing our little bundle home. Payton wanted absolutely nothing to do with him the first week. She threw many tantrums and made the transition very difficult for me. She is a Momma's girl and was not having anything to do with me holding another baby. Now that we are approaching our third week she is coming around nicely. She now wants to hold her brother, keeps kissing him repeatedly, and will get in his face and say "hi buddy." She is back to the sweet toddler I knew before I had Caleb.
Caleb is a good baby. He is sleeping most of the day and night. Waking about every three hours to eat. He had his first doctor's appointment on Wednesday. He weighs 8lbs 10oz and is now 21.75in tall. Hard to believe that he is still smaller than Payton was when she was born. Here are some recent pictures of both of them. I am blessed to have such a beautiful family.
This is a picture of Shane and Payton and their first snowman. It was really cute to see her play in the snow for the first time.
This is Caleb sleeping in Aunt Evie's arms. He loves to be held.
