We are in Florida now, which means... INTERNET!!!! Yay!!!!
I thought I would post some of my favorite pictures of Blake and Blake & Gavin. Wish I could get more photography practice on Gavin... sadly he's become wise to the camera and runs, pouts, hides from me as soon as he sees my Canon! Lucky for me, Blake stays where I put him... for now, and I am taking advantage of the practice I'm getting!
We LOVE this little guy SO MUCH! I have to be honest--it has been a bit rough-- he's pretty colic-y. Some days he cries and cries! Very hard for my mommy heart to take! I brought him into the pediatrician just the other day hoping there would be some solution to the problem. The doctor said it's human nature to want to fix everything and sometimes there really isn't a solution, you just have to wait it out. We just wanted to make sure there wasn't something wrong that we were missing. He reassured me though that Blake is perfect and that the issues of colic and constipation are very typical for newborns. He said we just have to wait it out and before we know it Blake will grow out of it. Until then, it's frustrating and exhausting! Regardless, Blake is a sweet sweet baby! He's cuddly and takes great comfort in hearing our voices-- Joe's, Gavin's and mine! He's just the most precious little guy and we cannot express how happy we are to call him ours!!! God is so good!!!
I hope to post pictures of my time with the birth mom in the hospital soon, but for now I decided to skip right to the present! Hope you enjoy the pictures...
These two adore each other! I love to see this bonding take place! All three of us were very ready for baby #2! Gavin hasn't even shown any signs of jealousy! He sings to Blake, wants to hold him, brings him toys and tells him all about them! He tells everyone--every waitress, check-out clerk, stranger or friend-- about his baby brother. He's proud and can't wait for Blake to play with him! Blake is very entertained by Gavin and stares at Gav every chance he gets. He really works hard at focusing on Gavin even when Gav is zooming by him. When Blake cries, even Gavin tries to fix it! Joe & I have really enjoyed watching our boys together and we're so proud of Gavin!
(I was having so much fun with different editing techniques!)
Blake is so close to REALLY smiling!!!
I am so thankful for the sweet boys God has put in my life! :)

Thank you for sharing the pictures - I've been checking everyday! I love the picture of the two boys looking at each other. Looks like it won't be long and Blake will be smiling. What an answer to prayer. Love ya! Mom B.
Your boys are SO precious! Those pictures are great and that's great to hear that Gavin is doing so well with the new addition! I'm sorry you're having to deal with him being colicky. Hayden was that way and it was really really tough. It will pass!! I like Hyland's Colic Tablets and children's/baby probiotics. I'd add the probiotics to his formula. That seemed to help Hayden quite a bit. Hang in there!
