He Pees like a Pro!!

So it's been awhile since our last post as we have been trying to get our life back into some sort of order, but now that I have a quick moment I thought I'd do an update and post some more pictures of our new addition. First, let me say that one lesson we've learned very quickly is that Bryant pees everywhere he can during a diaper change! Now you may think this is because of our relative inexperience with boys, but let me assure you that we do all we can to prevent it. The boy just has impeccable timing for turning on the faucet during his 2-3 second window of opportunity to exact maximum wettage and effect. Even during his circumcision he peed all over the doctor, which the doctor commented was probably the most pee he'd ever seen in all the circumcisions he had ever done. I think I'm even a tiny bit proud that he's able to do this on such a consistent basis. Needless to say we are continually adapting , and getting pretty good at rushing him to the bathtub after a diaper change.


But despite these adventures during his changing, Bryant still remains a very pleasant and good natured little guy. He still rarely cries (even though he has finally learned how to. It sounds like a little squawking bird) and is a fairly consistent sleeper usually sleeping about 3 1/2 hours at a time. He loves sleeping in his carseat and his swing and one of the fun extras we get when he sleeps is that he often smiles and laughs while he's dreaming, a couple times even letting out hearty chuckles. Brooke still loves to give him lots of hugs and kisses which he tolerates fairly well. Every now and then the ugly green head of jealousy will arise in big sister in the form of Brooke pinching his ear, nibbling on his toes, or even just conking him in the head, but most of the time she just wants to love him.


Anyway, we're loving our new life with little Bryant and here are some more pictures to enjoy!







That's right! My son.....wait for it.......dunking a basketball!!




First bath with Mr. Washcloth in place to protect him from any future humiliation.






Brooke really wanted to make a birthday cake for Bryant, so we made it together and had a little family party to welcome him home





Brooke getting ready for summer. She actually came out of her room after a nap fully dressed like this cause she wanted to go swimming so badly.




Bryant laughing while he sleeps









Is there any way I could drive and you ride in this portable bed/chair?






I wish these giants would stop picking me up all the time!




Mom, Bryant, and Big Sis









Finally my arms aren't compressed against my sides from Mom's infamous night swaddle
