For us, life with a new baby means not doing a whole lot for a while. We did jump back into some things pretty quickly but spent plenty of time just hanging out.
One day Carter kept unzipping his jammies and walking around like this. All he needed was some chest hair sticking out!
Ethan was channeling his inner D.J. one day.
One afternoon when Ashton stopped crying I came out to find him sucking on his fingers like this. I thought he might be starting a habit, but it seems to have been a one-time thing.
One night in his glider Ashton had his hands up over his eyes like this. But we were sitting down on the floor so all we saw was...
this. It was really funny. Or maybe we were just delirious!
Ashton loved his first real bath--until he had to get out!
We were lucky to continue to have decent weather, so Tristan took the boys out for several walks around the neigborhood. They found this pond over by the new construction and decided to go "fishing"!
And this tree that fell during a freak wind storm made the perfect fort!
Tristan left for his first hitch back at work mid-October. I had to be pretty creative on how to help them burn energy. So bike-riding in the garage had to do!
Our nightly fact time with Tristan turned into story time. He has been volunteering at the local library and picked out some books to read to the boys over face time to help keep them busy. What a good dad!
Ashton turned 1 month old on October 20th!
When Tristan got back, we helped the boys paint their pumpkins. Tristan and I never finished ours this year...there's always next year!
One chilly afternoon we ventured out and took all three boys to the park. Tristan was helping Carter hang from the tree branches.
And he was also helping the boys shake the fall leaves off of the trees. They had so much fun!
All in all the boys did really well with keeping things pretty low-key for a while. Life with a baby is so crazy and they have done a great job of adjusting!
