1 month old!

Daddy Time

Dalton was mad after he got out of the bath tub so Gavin was calming him down.

they look so much alike
I love this one because Stanley is looking at the camera and Dalton is missing one sock.

Baby Boot Camp

Yesterday Dalton was four weeks old. He will be a month old on the 29th time has just flown by!

I just wanted to share a book that Sharon gave me after Dalton was born, Baby Boot Camp by Rebecca Ingram Powell. This book has been a blessing to me each day. It is a devotional book for the first 6 weeks of motherhood. It seems to reach every emotion I have felt so far! Right after he was born we had so much going on..... moving, the church launch and trying to adjust to having a newborn at home. I had a hard delivery so I was physically unable to do alot for Dalton in the beginning. The past few days have been the first time I feel close to normal. I have been able to care for him by myself during the middle of the night feedings which I couldn't do before. This book has really helped me see that God had a plan and purpose for both of us to go through this process. I would not change anything in the past month. I love my son and husband more than I could ever imagine. Family is so important to me and now has a whole new meaning. Baby Boot Camp is great for any new mom!

"You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

for you created all things,

and by your will they were created

and have their being."

Revelation 4:11

Bath

He was great at bath time last night! Everything was wonderful until he decided to pee on Gavin. Even that was pretty funny.

Nap Time

Dalton loves to be held when he is napping. As soon as we lay him down he wakes up :). I blame Michelle because she held him the entire time she was here. I love it though! There is nothing better than holding him in my arms.

3 weeks

Today Dalton is three weeks old. Time has flown by I can't believe it has been 3 weeks! Even though I don't usually know what day it is or what time it is. He has been up all night the past few nights so I try to get sleep whenever he is sleeping during the day. Being a mom is hard work but the best job in the world.

2 weeks

We had Dalton's 2 week check up this week. He is a healthy boy! He weighs 10 lbs and 6 oz. :) Everything looks great and he will go back at 2 months for his first round of shots.

Auntie Chell visits!

Michelle got to come visit! I did not think she would be able to come until October so it was wonderful to have her here. It is was great seeing her meet her nephew! My mom didn't like sharing Dalton for those two days but that just means he is loved :)

hospital stay

Going home! I still can't believe he is ours. :)

Our family!

Friends stopped by to see the new little guy!

The proud grandparents! This was their first time to hold him. He was in the nursery for the first 24 hours and only Gavin and I could go in. So they were pretty excited to hold him. Mom didn't want to share so I let Dad hold him first. Then Mom had him the rest of the time. :) I am still so thankful they are here to help and be there for us during this time. I think we will keep them here and not let them go back to Texas!

8-29-09 Dalton's B-day!

Dalton and I had a rough labor day, but we are both doing great now! Thank you all for your prayers we appreciate everything. We had the best doctors, nurses and medical staff. They all jumped into action and were all calm the entire time. I am so blessed to have an amazing husband who stood by me and was able to be with Dalton in the nursery before they would let me in there. Gavin got to video tape all they did and take lots of pictures so I didn't miss anything. (We will post some video soon.) My parents have been great too. I am not sure how we could do this without them!
