Little Davis has been in our home for a whole month now! It's crazy how it seems like he's been part of us forever, and at the same time that one month flew by! It's really been an amazing month. I don't know if I've ever felt so loved and supported and been the recipient of so much service, and I am so grateful! Our friends and family have really come through and just showered us in love and food and gifts! For the first three weeks of Davis's life I hardly cooked- we had so many wonderful people bring us dinner! Davis has a whole slew of darling new outfits that were gifts from our wonderful family and friends. Many neighbors have taken the boys to play at their homes. Davis has a few new soft, sweet, darling handmade baby quilts from my mom and aunt. In this past month, we have really been showered with love and it has helped me be able to relax and just enjoy this sweet babe.
Davis also has the best, sweetest big brothers! The novelty of having a new baby in the house has not worn off in the slightest. One night I was frantically trying to clean up the kitchen, so I stuck Davis in the swing and the boys were watching a movie in the same room. Davis was a little fussy, but I needed to get stuff done so I was just hurrying through it. Then I noticed the fussing had stopped- I went to check on them and noticed Chase and Hudson sitting on either side of the swing, and they had given Davis a binky and wrapped a warm blanket around him. It was so sweet! They've both really embraced their roles as big brothers, been super helpful to mommy, and just adore this little one.
Ben and I are enjoying baby #3 even more than we did with our other two! We both love babies and the newborn stage- but this time we are much more relaxed about everything and feel more confident as parents. We also know how fleeting this stage is, so we are just soaking it up! Which means that Davis rarely gets set down and we don't even mind. Snuggling this baby is the #1 priority around this house! Also, because we are his parents, we think he's the cutest little baby on earth.
My friend Carly took these newborn pictures for us and I love them. She took them in our room and I think they totally show our life right now. All of us are just enamored with Davis- and we do spend a lot of time lounging in bed just loving on him!
