life with Saxon - month three

Another month has past. New milestones were reached, stronger bondage was made and endless amounts of laughter was shared.

What we all enjoyed the most this past month were Saxon’s giggles. This boy will laugh at anything, just because he can.

What we were working most on this month was trying to get Saxon to sleep in his bassinet during the day. Because as much as i love having him falling asleep in my arms and snuggling up on the lounge together, i’ve realised that the house work DOES need to be done (who knew?), and unfortunately it won’t do itself… bummer 

Out with the 000′s and in with the 00′s! Saxon has gone up another size yet again. My chubby little cherub!

So. Much. Goo-ing. And. Gahh-ing! I just sit and listen and admire the sweet, soft harmony that is his voice.

Caelan still calls Saxon “baby”. His baby. I have told him that they will share a room when Saxon is a bit older, that they will share toys & they will be great friends. I know that Caelan doesn’t understand what this means just yet, but the bond he and Saxon have is already something special, and it gives me a warm humbling feeling inside knowing that he will find out the feeling of what it’s like to have a brother and a best friend.

life with Saxon - month two

I can’t believe we are almost at the end of month two. Saxon is 3 months old in just two short weeks! So many new things this month.. He has put on even more weight, and grew an extra few cm’s. He’s gone up a size in clothing which makes me sad. I think at this point you finally realise just how quick they grow up. Though it’s always exciting getting the brand news clothes out that you put away for when they are bigger. You know the ones without the spew/poo stains? They only stay that way for about a week..

What i loved this month..

The full blown gummy smiles… I melt.

His hair. The way it has started to comb over his head. And i like the colour of it now, so different to his older brother’s.

The snuggles. Still soaking up as much cuddle time as i can.

The way he is instantly happy when he’s nakey. Saxon loves nappy changes!

I love that he finds his brother Caelan so amusing. The bond between them already is special.

The goo’s and gahh’s. Seriously melts my heart.

a chilly day

I have been a little slack with my camera lately. It’s been cooped up inside it’s bag since I took Saxon’s newborn photos 6 weeks ago. A bit like me.. Since the late nights & broken sleep I haven’t been getting out much, so yesterday my family and I spent the day outdoors. We ventured out into the chilly Winter air and headed for my favourite park to take a few family snaps.

After some bribing with lollies and soft drink we finally got a photo of the two boys together. Caelan may not sit still very often & he hates taking orders, but ask him if he would like to hold his baby brother & he sits straight down, arms wide open. He loves him.. And Saxon adores him right back.

I’ve promised myself to get out more with my camera and to capture more of my boys & their growing personalities. And I will.

life with Saxon - month one

Before we had our little boy I said I wanted to write a blog about him each month. About his growth, his new noises, the things I loved about each month with him. I’m a little late in posting month one, time escapes you when you have two little ones!

Here is my experience with Saxon in his first month.

What i loved..

His squishy cuddles.. I can’t seem to get anything done.

His sleepiness. Means more snuggle time!

Also, the small periods throughout the day when he opens his eyes.

His brothers admiration. Caelan loves helping out anyway that he can, shushing him to sleep, getting wet wipes when Saxy gets too milk drunk, or finding his dummy when he gets upset. He’s also let Saxon have cuddle time with his favourite ducky blanky!

The sweet noises he makes. His cute little cry, his heavy breathing &  the laughs (that were from wind – still cute) when he sleeps and also the little smiles that he has been giving us.

He’s growing, eating, putting on more weight then needed, and sleeping lots. We’re so blessed to have another healthy boy in our lives. I am so madly in love with him.
