Just Hanging Out

Charlotte looks like such a peanut....

More Brotherly Love...

Doting Brothers

The boys have both done so great with Charlotte. Jackson just adores her and cannot refrain from kissing and holding her whenever she is awake or feeding. It is pretty cute.

Brady has also done surprisingly well and seems to really love his new baby sister (or as he says "baby si-er").

Here are the boys doting on the new sister:

Fresh Helpers

After Papa, Grandma and Uncle Brandon left, Poppy and Grandma (Savino) came to visit.

Poppy read to the boys:



We made smores:




(which Jackson begged us to do and then upon realizing that smores were messy he refused to eat any and threw a tantrum...good times!)

We went to the pool and the park and hung out. I did not take any pictures due to chaos and exhaustion. But, it was a great visit. Maybe Grandma took more pictures!

Here is Grandma and Charlotte:

Fountains

After getting their haircut, the boys played in the fountains in the Stapleton Town Center:

My Three Kids

Like Father, Like Son

Paper Airplanes

The boys had the best time playing with paper airplanes with Papa and Uncle Brandon:




Jackson even had to get one out of the tree:



And, Brady just needed to rest and have some snacks:

BilliBed

Charlotte came home and her jaundice got worse. So, she had to spend as many hours as possible in a special bed, her billibed. It was tough at first, but she got used to it and slept okay by the second night.

Grandma (Dustin's mom) helped a ton with her at night, which was so helpful to me!

Here she is in her special bed:





She is hiding her face in the last one and Jackson made sure she had a red poison dart frog to keep her company!

Charlotte's First Bath

Charlotte had her first bath at home today. She did not love the bath, but surprisingly, did not scream the entire time either.

Jackson helped by taking most of the pictures. He is quite the little photographer!

First Days Home

Relaxing and with her brothers:





With Grandma MJ:



With PaPa and Grandma:

Charlotte Comes Home

Aspen

Grandma and PaPa took Jackson and Brady to visit Uncle Stacy and Aunt Norah in Aspen while we hung out in the hospital with Charlotte. The boys had a great time. They hiked and fished and generally had fun!

Before they left, Brady had some yard work to do:




Having fun in the mountains:

Charlotte Meets her Brothers

Dustin's parents are staying with the boys while we are in the hospital. Before their trip to Aspen, they brought them up to meet their new baby sister!




Charlotte also met her Uncle Brandon and Grandma and PaPa:




Brady hung out with mommy and got in Charlotte's "crib":




I can't believe we are a family of five...let the chaos begin!
