Brotherly Love

Another Week Gone By

The days are passing by so quickly! Jeremy headed back to work this week, so it was just me and my Boys. We survived just fine. I'm going to love being a Mom of two!

Owen and Noah spend some time chatting. O loves to lay next to his brother!

Noah's cord finally fell off, so I could dunk him in the tub for a thorough cleaning. He didn't mind it nearly as much as he did his sponge baths prior to this. (Sorry about the privates showing. I should have strategically placed a washcloth. Oh well.)

The O and I baked a very yummy cake together.

Three weeks old today!

We love quiet, alert time. Noah is usually awake from 7:00-9:00 in the morning for a good, long play time. We are really getting to know his sweet personality.

My Busy Boys

I have been so abundantly blessed with the privilege of living life with my three favorite people: Jeremy, Owen and Noah. What busy boys they are! Here's a little of what they have been up to...

Checking on "Be-be." Owen can often be found standing on his stool next to the bassinet giving Noah some love. (Noah is sun-bathing to get rid of his jaundice, in case you were wondering why the nakedness.)

Dad and Owie are "camping." You might notice O's new tool kit. Wherever The O goes these days, his tool kit is at his side!

Jeremy ushered in his 30th Birthday (along with Joel, of course) while "dominating" at whirlyball. J is right in the middle of this photo in the striped shirt.

"Cheese!"

Kisses for brother. Owen has bonded so well with Tiny Noah, giving him love (often in the form of high fives) whenever possible.

It may be mistaken for a look of sheer terror, but Owen loves the thrill of his new slide!

Two weeks old already! Time flies!

Our first family outing to the park. Cozy Noah slept the whole time!

A really fun and unexpected result of bringing home a new brother has been O's "language explosion." His vocabulary has more than doubled since Noah's arrival. I guess he figures he needs to speak up to be heard these days! It thrills my heart to hear his little voice expressing his thoughts (and more often his wants). His Speech Therapist is going to be so pleased!

What a Merry Christmas!

We had such a blessed Christmas this year: Owen's second Christmas and Noah's first. Our day was filled to the brim with wonderful memory-making moments with both sides of our family. Here are just a few of the pictures taken:

An encore performance by the star of the show!! It's amazing how thrilling a $0.99 toy can really be!
