Dylan's First Week - Tara's Take

So little Dylan has been with us for a week now. Dylan is such a sweet, calm baby. So far, he sleeps a lot, eats a lot and poops a lot. He doesn't cry much, just during diaper changes and has actually been sleeping pretty good at night. I thought at this point I would be a sleep deprived walking zombie, but I'm actually doing really well. Dylan gets up twice a night right now, eats and goes right back to bed. Nice!


We have had lots of visitors, lots of bottles, lots of diaper changes, lots of naps, lots of meals brought in, (thanks everyone-I haven't even had to cook yet!) and lots of fun with baby Dylan. We took him to the doctor on Tuesday and he was back up to his birth weight and very healthy.



Alex and Kennedy seem to be adjusting well. They love their baby brother and always want to hold him. Alex is very interested in his binkies and they seem to disappear whenever he is around. Kennedy likes to help feed Dylan and make sure he has a toy next to him to play with.

Next week will be the true test of having three kids. Jared is going back to work and His parents are going back to New Harmony. It has been nice to have the extra help, but reality will set in next week. We will have to see if I can handle this new role of mommy! Wish us luck!
