Is this all we do? Pretty much!

I wanted to post random pictures of Hayden, but after going through them I noticed that a ton of them are us all sleeping. Hence the post. Hey, this is real life. Maybe we'll throw in a few when we're all awake :) And in the future I'll have to catch some of those cute, hope they stay, blue eyes!

Little peanut at 2 weeks old

After Andrew had worked all night. Who put who to sleep?

 
LOVES sleeping in his bumbo
Maybe it's Hayden, maybe it's that chair, but the Sand Man got them both!
First boating trip for Daddy's birthday. Boy did Hayden have fun. If it involved heat and sleeping he's there.
Hailey, Kinz, and Andrew
Jumping tubes
Enjoying the boat ride
Sleepover at my parent's house after boating. . . how ironic.
Loved the sleep over too
Like father like son
There's some eyes! This is how we get him to sleep sometimes.
Loves to be curled up in the smallest ball possible
Oh his sleeping power got Mom too
In between the sleeping is bath time, which he loves

I didn't realize how much he sleeps but he definitely is a sleeper. He started sleeping 5-6 hours during the night at a month old and now will sleep about 7 hours through the night. It's not every night but he does really good. We're really lucky! The nights he does sleep that long I get up thinking I've slept 12 or more hours. He's so nice to us. When he wakes up in the morning it's usually with a smile, however if I don't give him food fast that smile turns quickly into a screaming wail! He's been growing and getting big fast. At his 1 month checkup he was 8 pounds 4 ounces (13 %) and 21 1/2 inches long (38 %). After our trip we go in for his check up and shots. Not looking forward to that one. But we're doing SO good and enjoying our sleepy, little family.

LOVE it! That picture of you and him is SO cute. You look AMAZING! I can't believe how skinny you are already. Jealous! You are such a good little mommy already and I'm SO glad he's a good sleeper for you. That makes all the difference in the world!

Sounds like he's an angel baby and he looks like a doll! Imagine him two ounces bigger and that's how big Crew was when he was born!

You look great, and it looks like you love being a mom.
