AXTAN'S FIRST WEEK

What an amazing week this has been. Our family has been in heaven with this precious little one joining us. Rylan is so excited to have a brother. Rylan is yet again the best big brother, he likes to help feed Axtan, hold Axtan and pretty much be anywhere Axtan is. It took Paislee a little longer to fall in love with Axtan. I don't remember her first visit with Axtan but from what I have been told, Paislee was not a happy girl about getting a brother. She told everyone she already had a brother and wanted a sister. She didn't want to hold him until I came home from the hospital. She now loves baby Axtan and also wants to help all the time. I am really trying to let her help, but she isn't quite as helpful as Rylan. After we finally left the hospital I went back to my moms for the night. Jordan's sister blessed her new baby on Sunday up in Cedar City, UT. Jordan and I felt like it was important for him to be there to support his sister, so after Jordan got Axtan and I settled in at my mom's, he and Rylan took off for Ut. Paislee loved being back at Grandma's and I appreciated the help. At Axtan's 1 week doctor's appointment he weighed 7 pounds exactly and was still 19 1/2 inches. The doctor said he looked great. Axtan is sleeping good. He is giving me about 5 hours straight through the night and I can function with that. He is always so happy. Heavenly Father sure does know all, he sent me a great, healthy, happy baby and I couldn't ask for much more. These are just a few pictures from the week. This is where Axtan slept his first night out of the hospital
