Lots o' Firsts!

So these pics are for our family that hasn't had a chance to meet Lachlan yet. I will be posting lots of pics of him for the next little bit, it helps both of our families feel like they are still involved in seeing the changes that are happening with our "little man".

Lachlan staring up at my mom. He stays awake for about an hour after feeding and just stares at you. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen.

This is what it looked like on Tuesday morning. My parents had to drive back to Anchorage in this weather, but at 5 am, in a rental car, and on unfamiliar roads. It wasn't their funnest drive! But...it was Lachlan's first snowfall. I took a pic of him and Shayne out our side door. That's our little guest cabin that you can see.

Shayne gave Lachlan a little mohawk. I think it's so funny how you can just see his little eyeballs and nose peeking out. He's like a little peanut.

Shayne and Lachlan taking a nap on the floor, with company. Tipz and Bo decided to join in. They've been really good, and fairly uninterested in Lachlan at this point. He hasn't been licked yet...which is ok with me!

This is one of my most favorite pics. We are still in the hospital and Lachlan is awake after feeding and just staring up at Shayne...it's so cute.

Lachlan's first trip in the carseat. We were just getting ready to leave the hospital. He slept all the way home...yeah for me!!

Yup...his first thumbsucking photo. I was a thumbsucker until I was five, so I'm a little concerned he's going to be too. He's definitely a binky baby...loves to have something in his mouth to suck on...we'll hopefully be able to stay with the binky...easier to break him of that habit.

First road trip. We went with my parents to Homer on Friday afternoon. This is me and him sitting in the front seat getting ready to feed him while my parents and Shayne went and wandered the boat docks.

This is Lachlan and my mom in his first little outfit...the Swanson's and the Hansen's had a dinner for us on Monday night. It was fun to actually put him in an outfit, even though no one saw it b/c he was wrapped up in a blanket the whole time. It was all good though...still fun!

I just have to say, I loved having my parents here for a few days. It was nice to just sit and talk to my mom as I was feeding Lachlan. I was very much sad to see them go...it's harder than I thought to not have family up here while having a baby. But...I know we are where we are supposed to be so it will be ok. It was nice to have my mom up here though. She helped out lots and lots! Love you mom!
