5 days of Bliss in pictures - Lawson Everett

Well, it's official.  I've fallen in love - and I've fallen hard.   Lawson is a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!!  No discredit to Gray and Kinsley, but Lawson is the best baby ever.  He never has crying fits, just squeaks and lets one or two "waahhh's" out to let us know he needs something.  He sleeps most of the time and he can sleep right in the midst of his brother and sister and their vocal tornados.  He is such a great sleeper in fact, he slept through the night the second night he was home.  Last night he only got up once.  I have to wake him during the day for feedings every 3 and a half hours.  Then at night I just let him sleep as long as he can go.  When he is awake, he is taking everything in.  He's quiet and observant and already holds his head up when he's up on my shoulder.  He's got a really strong neck and a strong grip too!

He has been incredible to get to know so far.  He is sooo sweet and loves to snuggle and get kissed all over.  He's mellow and easygoing.  He has seamlessly joined the family.  When we are together it's not weird to have Lawson there and the kids don't exhibit any jealousy at all.  It feels like Lawson has been around the whole time.  I guess in a sense he's been here for a while.  :)  Well, I know I have some catchup to do but here's a few pictures of Lawson over the past few days.
