2 Weeks Old

Well, baby Tragon has survived two weeks at home now. It really feels like it's been longer than that, but then I see how tiny he still is. Right now he is not a huge fan of baths, but he does like the after bath snuggle. This is also one of the rare times he actually took a binky, not much of a fan, which is fine with me, but it is nice to have just in case.

He is such a sweet boy and such a good baby right now. He's very calm and relaxed during the day and I can actually put him down for naps! We really needed that blessing in a baby when I'm still trying to keep up with Logan and Damon.
By the end of this post, he already looks different. All my boys have had their own unique looks to them. Tragon most closely resembles Damon, but only in just a few baby pictures.
Logan has been a great big brother and he'll ask where Tragon is if he's not in the room and he likes to talk to him. He's already trying to teach him how to walk.
We had such a fun time with Grandma Goodman here. I wish I would have taken more pictures, but alas, that is the curse of multiple children, you just can't take as many pictures of the subsequent offspring because you're most likely chasing them around, or protecting the new baby from them and that makes picture taking a little more challenging. I'm going to try and do better though.
I really was the first one to have all three on my lap at once, but of course, no one was around to take my picture. :) I sure do love all my boys and they make me so happy!
This was a cute outfit that we got from Grandma that he's already almost grown out of so I had to take a picture to remember it.
Damon loves the baby too and will get down and talk to him, but his idea of soft is still something we're working on. I actually trust Logan enough to leave the room momentarily if he's alone with Tragon, but Damon, I'm still worried about the whole poking the eyes out thing. (Damon loves to point/poke your eyes and say "eyes") He is going to be such a fun big brother though.
Logan gets really excited whenever Tragon is actually awake and loves to talk to him.
My three boys!
This is the "Rocky Mountain" that the boys love to play on. Living in a new construction area definitely has its perks for little boys...rocks, dirt, mud, construction trucks...any little boy's dream come true.
Speaking of little boys, our little stinker Damon (who will get in to anything and everything you don't want him to as soon as you turn your back) somehow got in the bathroom and I'm sad to say we lost a dear friend Toby in the process. (Toby is the square engine from Thomas and Friends) Damon doesn't know it yet. Hopefully he won't ask where Toby is. Anyway, after a long hard day of working and fixing things (Morgan saved us about $400 by fixing the car window himself) he walked in the door to find out that Damon had thrown some trains/toys in the toilet. I thought I got them all out, but Toby was stuck. Morgan had to take the toilet off and was able to fish him out. My husband is my hero!
This was the same day, he deserved a nap after all his hard work fixing things, and as a bonus, I didn't have to hold or worry about the baby while I was getting dinner ready. :)
Tragon sure loves his Daddy. I think they were both zonked out for a least 2 hours.
Today was Grandparents Day, at least at our house. We got a visit from great-grandma Hadlock...
Grandma Hadlock.....
Great-Grandma White.....
Great-Grandpa White....(who we think Tragon gets his wise eyes from)
And Papa Beard. :) I'm glad I had the camera out so I could take pictures. Logan and Damon were both taking naps when they came over, so Tragon got some undivided attention from all his grandparents.
He's already starting to get a little personality and looking very different from just a few days ago it seems like.
*Smooch*
He's such a handsome little guy. We also got some fun visits this week from my SIL Quel and her kids Lincoln, and Quoia. The kids had fun playing and we got to visit for a little while. And later in that same day my brother Steve and his wife Kim stopped by for a quick visit on their way to a concert. It was really good to see everyone and Tragon is excited to meet even more of his family. :)

This has been a great recovery and I'm aching to get out there and start running again, but I know my body isn't quite ready yet, but we have been going on lots of walks and getting some wonderful sunshine. I think I had a bigger case of cabin fever than I thought being sick that last month of pregnancy. Now we are out enjoying the summer and it's so fun! My boys are such a blessing to our family and bring to it such fun and unique personalities. I love them so much! Until next time....
