One Month

 The boys stepped out the back door to say bye to Ryan the other day and were lured out by the mud from a recent rainstorm.  Drew was half dressed and they were both barefoot, but they were having a great time.
 There's nothing like a nice mud pie.
 My little lion is definitely growing.  The chubbiest part of his thighs is covered in his diaper, but they're gonna be chunky. 
 His baby acne is still in full bloom. 
 Tyler loves his Pepsi almost as much as his daddy.
Drew's new outfit from Grandma Shell, and Ty's new shoes.  Drew is still doing very well.  He'll be weighed again tomorrow.  He is getting food stuck every few days now, but he's able to work it down most of the time.  He knows to chew his food better and continues eating his meal.  
I can't believe my boys are getting so big. 
Things are slowly getting a little easier as we're adjusting to having 3 boys.  Zac is a great sleeper, and is going 6 hours between feedings some nights.  I love watching his soak in the world around him.  He smiles more and more, and it makes my day when he smiles at me.

Little Moments

I did start typing the birth story and happening since then for the last post, but it took too long and I haven't finished it.  So here's the more recent fun stuff. 
 Tyler likes to brush our hair sometimes now.  I love it when he will come and brush my hair!  Ryan allows it with raised eye brows.
 Tyler was sick for 3 days the first week after we had Zac.  Then Andrew got sick and we were all miserable for 6 days. 
The boys and I went back up north last weekend to get in more swim time before the weather cools down.  Ryan took the free time to scout for deer and even went golfing.  It was fun for all of us, but it's nice to be together again. 
 Zac is doing great.  He is a very easy baby.  He likes to eat often and is otherwise pretty content to nap or watch whatever is going on.  He's already become a bit of a momma's boy and prefers me holding him to strangers.  It's amazing how fast they learn.  When he's hungry he'll cry until I lay him in my lap so I can get ready.  He'll stop crying and wait calmly after that. 
Last night he went 5 hours in between eating!  Usually he does two 4 hr stretches at night. 
At his 2 week check-up last week he was 7 lbs 15 oz, and 20 inches long. 
I love his cute bowed legs.  His whole head is covered with baby acne now (I guess I better take a picture for memory-sake), but he is still so cute! 
The boys really like him now as long as they aren't sick and wanting all the attention.  They kiss him and rub his head everytime he's within their reach.  Andrew says, "Sweet baby.  She's sweet baby.  Long eyeses."  (Because he heard my sister-in-law say Zac had long eye lashes.)  And Ty is actually really helpful with anything Zac needs, and makes sure that Zac has his bink at any given time. 
Ryan and I are slowly catching up on our sleep and getting into the grove of being parents of three.  We love our little boys and wouldn't trade this time for anything else.
