First of many photo shoots

Gavin has been eagerly training Maddox for the camera like he did with Mason- start them early he says! I need a shirt that says, "My Husband Rocks" now :-) Because he sure does!

Maddox on Monday. Before he finally WOKE up to the world.

From March2009

Maddox at 8 days old (today) with eyes OPEN. that's right, he's actually AWAKE! We've been noticing his awake times at certain times of the day, so Gavin took full advantage of that today. He looks a lot like Mason here to me!

He's been enjoying it when I tickle his face or just lightly stroke his face. I've gotten a few leg twitchings out of it haha

Sure does relax him. Wait... he's almost always relaxed!

Ugh. LOVE this photo. Mason has been doing so much better than I thought with this transition. Granted it has only been a week. However, he's really been loving on Maddox. First few days you'd ask him if he wanted to give Baby Brother a kiss and No was usually the answer. I knew we couldn't pressure him and he'd come around on his own (just like everything else). The last few days he's been known to run up to Maddox's chair and kiss his toes or gently hug the whole chair. so sweet! Tonight he gave him a super sweet and gentle kiss on the lips!

I have to say I missed my chance with a photo op yesterday. Maddox was sleeping so peacefully up on my chest sleeping on his side while I was dozing off in the lazy boy chair. Mason came up and decided he wanted to cuddle too. He climbed up in my lap facing Maddox, leaned up against me and wrapped his arm around Maddox and said, "CUTE!" awe so so sweet!
