Happy Halloween!

more Tason...

We just can't get enough of this little guy!!!

1 month

It's already been a month now, since our little man was born. And even though Tason is a little more high maintenance that the girls were at his age, he is such a joy to have in our family! He has started showing us his sweet smile and trying to talk to us with his sweet little baby coos.

Tason's stats: 11.5 pounds and 24 inches long.  (If he keeps this up, we might have to bust out the 3-6 month clothes a little early!)

a little Avie time...

Avalyn is such a good helper! All the girls are. But Avalyn is especially trustworthy when it comes to watching Tason, while mommy tries to get something done.  And she's really good at sticking with watching him, even when he starts fussing.  The younger girls tend to run off at the first signs of tears.  I am sooo thankful for all my "little mommy" helpers!

nana

Nana came to see baby Tason and the girls (and to help mommy get some sleep)! We really wish that she lived closer!!! Come again soon, Nana!

the swing

Tason loves to sleep in his swing... while the shower's going.
The second the water is turned off, there is crying involved!

*the water was running during this photoshoot.

sleeping...

I love this picture of Briley and Tason!!! This is exactly how big she smiles everytime she sees him!

snuggles and kisses

napping...

Ok, so you know you have a newborn, when you have like 50 pictures on your camera and they're all of the baby sleeping (in different outfits, of course)!

So, here's the first of many posts of a sleeping Tason.  But don't let that fool you, he is only sleeping while being photographed.  The rest of the time he's eating or fussing to let me know that he wants to eat, or fussing because silly mommy thought that she could set him down since he fell asleep while he was eating when really she should have known better!!!  :)
