4 weeks old :)

It has been so long since I posted! I can't believe little Tytan is 4 weeks old today, where does time go? I have to say he is a fussy little guy but I love him to pieces. He is so sweet and has blessed our whole family! He is one popular little guy. He had so many visitors in his first few weeks of life. Nana came to visit, then Pappy joined her a few weeks later. After Nana left it was just the 5 of us for a day then Grandma and Grandpa came. We had a wonderful visit with them. ANd then Aunt Brooke and Breigh came to visit. It was so wonderful having so many extra hands around to help with the boys. I think everyone misses all of our visitors :)

The boys are adjusting well to Tytan. Athen can't get enough of him. He loves him so much and always wants to hold him, "pet" him, kiss him, and help me do everything with him. We are learning a lot about personal space. He gets a little too close to Ty and is always in his face. We have had to establish a few rules, he can never touch him when he is sleeping and when he is eating. This is so very hard for Athen, because he just can't keep his hand off of him. I am very thankful though that he loves him so much. All the attention Ty needs has made Athen act out in other ways though. He takes out a lot of his frustration on Maximo. I would say poor guy but Maximo is a retaliator (and instigaor) and although he doesn't hurt Athen yet he will soon enough. Maximo also loves Ty so much!!! Today I let Ty have "tummy time" on Maximo's belly and he couldn't get enough of it. I didn't get a picture of it because I couldn't get up to get the camera for fear of what could happen :) We are working on using our "inside voice" with Maximo. The little guy has two volumes silent or loud. He doesn't know how to "talk" in a normal voice. I say "talk" because we are still working with him to get him to say more. He still loves to sign but has very few words.
We are so thankful for our sweet little Ty and I am so thankful the boys have adjusted so well to him. I can't beleive I survived my first week home alone with them. I so look forward to 5 o'clock when Matt comes home from work and there are some extra hands around :). I have to say we are getting into a rhythm. Athen's school days are hard for us to get out the door but I haven't been late yet :) I love school days because it gives me time in the morning to spend with Maximo. Ty usually sleeps so Maximo and I can read and play. Once we pick Athen up from school Maximo takes a nap and then I get time with Athen to play. Although one day this week the stars aligned and Athen took a nap in the afternoon. It was a sweet success to have all 3 boys napping and I of course joined them.
Here are a few pictures of all 3 of them!
A sweet moment of them sleeping :)
