We Miss Mommy

Susanne had to work today so it was another opportunity for the men to rule the roost while she was away. Scott was excited to get to spend some time being a daddy. He was excited that he would finally get to try his hand at feeding, changing, holding, and playing with his little boy. Scott always enjoyed getting to experience all of the fun things that Susanne got to do while he was gone in Pennsylvania. Scott definitely thought that the best of these things was how Paxton would open his eyes in the morning, take a few minutes to focus, and then finally look up to see his daddy standing over him. Watching his face light up was the most amazing feeling. It fascinated Scott that Paxton's little brain was able to actually recognize who it was that he was looking at and that it made him happy!
The entire day was spent adhering to the baby's routine. Changing, playing, medicating, feeding, putting him to bed, and starting again every three hours. Scott was lucky that Paxton had an uneventful day. Thankfully, he did not have to deal with any vomiting or gagging episodes. He also did not have any trouble settling down for a nap today. Scott sure felt like he was getting the hang of things.

Scott and Paxton sure missed mommy. They couldn't wait for her to get home so they could tell her about the fun day they had together!
