Yay! He's smiling. There is nothing like a baby's first smiles to make you feel like a successful parent. Up to this point I've been feeding and changing him every few hours with no response (or thanks:) whatsoever. However, now that he has started smiling and cooing a feel much more gratified as a mother.
I can't even being to express how much easier it has been the second time around. I don't know if it's just me or if Jaxon really is easier (it's probably a combination of both), but I honestly think that, right now, Jaxon is my easy child. He sleeps decently. He's an AMAZING eater, which is something I still struggle with with Madison. He's usually pretty happy, and best of all he's got the cutest, chubbiest cheeks ever, not to mention the crater in his chin:)
Now if only I could get him to fall asleep before 10:30 p.m. Any suggestions on how to get him to bed earlier would be greatly appreciated. He sleeps about 4-5 hours once he's down and then only wakes up 2 times each night for about 20-30 minutes, but I just can't get him down before 10:30.

That second picture just cracks me up! So, cute ...
You are so lucky! I'm not quick enough to get a picture of Keira smiling. What fun pictures. Miss you guys.
Hate to say it, but 10:30 is really good for a kid that young! At 3 months I put the kibosh on Sophie's late nights and made her cry a bit as we worked toward an earlier bed time. Now she's out cold by 7 pm on most night. Halle-freaking-lujah. I'm also pretty impressed that he's sleeping for such long periods of time! That's awesome. Hopefully it's helping you feel more like a human?! Maybe?
Oh my goodness, his chin is so cute, it cracks me up. I'm glad he's starting to give you some feedback!!! Seeing those pictures makes me want a baby so bad!!!
