So I swore that Trace looked identical to Trenton as a newborn. Well in looking back at pictures I was wrong. Trace looks more like Trenton at 3 months. You can definitely see similarities!
Trenton Gene
Trace Daniel
Everyone jokes around about how Trace’s hair is a lot more calm than Trenton’s. Well after we started to wash Trace’s hair it did the same things as Trenton’s. I just put lotion on it to keep it tame. I now see how silly sweet Trenton looked with his crazy hair!
Yesterday at the doctors office Trace’s umbilical cord decided to fall off. Yes, after a week! That means we can give him a bath now! We have been giving him sponge baths, which he HATED, but tonight I decided to pull out his tub and see how he would react. He loved it!! He was so relaxed the whole time.
Ahhhh….this is the life
Big Brother jumped in on the action
He was not very happy that he had to get out!
And just because my babies are so cute. Trenton insisted to hold Trace while he watched Toy Story 3 for the millionth time this week!
Trenton has been such a big helper. He loves to hold Trace and feed him. I can’t believe how much he loves his little brother. I am so happy that he wants to help. Makes our lives much easier.
Trace was 1 week old on Wednesday! I can’t believe he is already a week old!! Trace is such a great baby! He loves to sleep. I mean really loves to sleep. He sleeps 90% of the day. He has started staying more alert during the day, but can only handle about 30 minutes before he is out again! His schedule for eating is about every 4 hours and he sleeps from midnight to 4:30 AM most of the time. I really don’t feel super sleep deprived (for now). I hope it doesn’t change too much! He eats about 2 oz (sometimes 3 oz at night). We had a doctor appointment on Thursday and we have decided to change pediatricians. I am so happy we did. She said Trace looks really healthy.
Weight: 7 lbs 6 oz Length: 20 inches
This is pretty much what Trace spends his day doing!
So I took advantage of one of his awake moments to snap a few pictures!
I love his wrinkled forehead. Trenton used to make this same face!
Mom, I am a week old, put the camera down!
Mommy and Trace snuggling at the doctors office
Sweet boy!
He looks so big in his car seat compared to Trenton at this age! We were all packed and ready to leave the doctor.
It was nice to get out of the house a bit. However, all the walking wore this Mama out.
There is nothing better than the smell and sounds of a brand new baby! I am loving having our new addition at home. Trace is such a blessing. I have been a very bad and tired Mommy so I haven’t taken tons of pictures. I am vowing to do a much better job of taking pictures. Here are the few I have and most of them he is crying! Awesome!
What Trace has been up to. Well he likes to sleep, eat and sleep. Today he actually stayed awake from about 2-5. I think he had a tummy ache because he puked and pooped all over me at the same time. He is doing really good with feedings. We are having to supplement formula right now at night because I am just not making enough to meet his needs. Hopefully this will change. If not, oh well he will be fine on formula. He can sleep through anything even his big brother screaming and throwing a fit. He has a very laid back attitude (he gets that from his Daddy). We haven’t determined who he looks like just yet, but I am thinking me! haha!
Sweet baby Trace
It’s so hard being a baby!!!
How cute is this outfit!!
I think he was done with me taking pictures rather than cuddling with him. He is quite the cuddle bug and I love it. Both of my boys love to cuddle with their Mama!
This Halloween was so much fun. Trenton loves to wear costumes. He has worn the same Spider Man costume to play outside for the last year. Well although he wanted to be Spider Man again this year I talked him out of it and he was Buzz Lightyear! Gene took him trick or treating while Trace and I handed out candy. I was a little sad I couldn’t go, but he was so excited to show me his 2 buckets of candy and he even came to our door and said trick or treat! Such a big boy! We have enough candy to last a lifetime and some great memories. Gene said he was so polite and so excited to go with our neighbors kids!
My sweet little pumpkins!
I am so excited that I get to do matching PJs and outfits!! Happy Halloween from Trenton and Trace!
Best looking Buzz I have ever seen!
Trenton, Brooke and Scott running house to house
Trick or Treat!
Darth Vadar = Scott
Trenton and Brooke (they are such good friends)
Cheese!
Trenton and Brooke (she is a witch)
This picture was so funny because he was so excited that he was leaving and that poor lady is trying to put his candy in his bucket!
What costume would be complete without its JetPack!
Once Buzz got back to the house he helped Mommy hand out candy
And this is the next day! In full costume chilling in Trace’s car seat! I am sure we have many more days of wearing this costume.
Trace slept through Halloween so I didn’t even bother with a costume. He did have 3 Halloween outfits that he managed to puke on during the day before I could remember to take a pic! Gotta love 5 day olds!!
