Oaklen
- It's a rare occasion that I can get this little boy to open his eyes. He's really good at sleeping through the day (no matter how hard I try to keep him awake), eating, peeing and pooping. I've gone through a whole package of diapers already, and he loves to poop and pee on me as I'm wiping his bum. It's a good thing he's so darn cute.... =)
- He eats every 2 hours on the dot. So I'm not getting much sleep. Especially when he likes to wake up for a bit after each feeding.
- He can fart bigger, longer and louder then most adults. It's quite amazing.
- He grunts and snorts when he can't find his food source fast enough.
- We go through about 2 outfits each day with him. Like I said...he's a pooper.
- We're still having a hard time getting him to sleep in his crib. He does much better in his boppy next to me in bed. Actually, I think we all do better.
- My biggest fear during the whole pregnancy has come full force and now makes me incredibly emotional. We've seen 2 different doctors about his circumcision and are about to see our third. It's breaking my heart to see him go through all this pain. NEW SUBJECT.
Mommy & Daddy
- I'm feeling great. I take some naps while Oaklen sleeps, but don't feel overly tired throughout the day. It hits me by about 8 at night though.
- Straton has been amazing these past 11 days. He takes care of me, and is super loving which is what I really need right now.
Having Oaklen has really brought us a lot closer. We're loving our little Oaklen!!

Lauren you look great!! What's going on with the circumcision? He is a beautiful baby!!! Just beautiful!
Hi my names Lauren and I look skinny after having a baby...blah blah blah. I hate you. (insert Mango holding his hand out) I no like you no more.
thank you! It's all the breastfeeding!
Jena- I think it's called Mommy's little star? Or something close to it. And weren't you back in your regular jeans like 2 weeks after giving birth?! yeah...that's what I thought. ;-)
Aunt Patty- To give you a brief summary (because I will cry if I go into detail) the dr. forgot to mention that we had to pull the skin back asap, another dr. had to re-slice it open, and now it looks completely butchered and Straton and I have no idea what we're doing.
Julie- we can't all be really, really really, ridiculously good looking. (insert Blue Steel face)
He's so cute! Congratulations guys, Enjoy this time, (Y'know, The late night feedings and rocking) It doesn't last very long, Soon you'll be looking back and wondering how it all happened so fast. Amy and I are terrible bloggers but we can't believe how big Brooklynn is when we look back because it happens just a day at a time. Take lots of pictures! You guys make a cute family!
