I’ve been rather neglectful when it comes to keep everyone updated on Mr. Joseph. Turns out, life with three is quite a bit busier than you’d imagine. Plus, I’m really awful at remembering to take pictures. Even with instagram on my iPhone, I still can’t remember.

But I’m trying to get my act together and have gotta a few shots of Joseph for your viewing pleasure.

Snuggly baby

Who doesn't like a neeked baby?

He sure looks good in burnt orange

Why yes, that does say Santa's Helper. And yes, he was wearing it before Thanksgiving.

Joseph is quite the snuggly baby. He loves being held and is especially fond of chilling in his mei tai {but haven’t all my kids?}.

We hit a small snag when Joseph was about 10 days old. He hit a growth spurt and spent the next 48 hours eating like a mad man. And then he stopped sleeping… bummer. He would wake up every 1.5-2 hours during the night to eat. At our two week check up, Joseph had gained a full pound in one week {which is 2-4 times the normal amount}. Our midwife thought perhaps I was over producing milk, causing Joseph to only get fore milk and not enough hind milk. We switched up our feeding routine and since then we’ve been getting more 4 hours sleep stretches, with some rougher nights thrown in the mix.

Life with three is busy, but, I feel like the transition has gone much smoother than I could have ever hoped. Joseph has already been a huge blessing to our family. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a pretty relaxed baby.
