Oh for the love

I love my babies- all 3 of them. But the youngest is now 5 1/2 weeks old. How quickly it is going. Two days ago, Aug 31st, she smiled for the first time (actually she smiled several times that day). No camera though. So sweet!
 

And my darling baby #2 has had some milestones this week too. Re-enter: toddler bed. There has been an improvement this time. The first day was similar to the last time we tried - lots of getting up both while trying to fall asleep, and in the night - so we weren't too hopeful. But the last couple days have been better, and halleluiah - he has slept through the night the last two nights! This transition to the bed is necessary like it or not right now.

First off, he is a heavyweight and the metal bars under the crib were bending from his jumping in the mornings. Yikes. And second, we plan to go to MN for several weeks after our house is sold and Faith needs the pack n play, and he's too big for it. Thus, a sleeping bag it will be and we aren't going to have his first time out of the crib be for that. Thankfully Dan is ultra helpful because it can get hairy putting Lew down and having Faith possibly cranky at that time. My husband is excellent (and not just because he is a stellar dad).

His second milestone this week was his first haircut. I know it has been a little over two years, but his hair just didn't grow as fast as Caleb's. Part of the prompting to do it was because the other two guys in the house got haircuts this week too. The only problem cutting Caleb's hair is he now is not only a giant in stature, but he looks older too. I keep saying, 'this is what he'll look like when he's six' except that he will only be bigger still at six.












Dan said his hair hasn't been this short on top for at least 10 years. I like it. All my boys with their ears lowered :)
