2 Weeks Old

Bryce was 2 weeks old on Tuesday. We went to the Dr. and he is doing great!
He weighed 8 pounds 6 oz-50%, was 20.5 inches-75% (Dr said they probably measured him wrong at hospital) and his head was 14.25-50%. We were very happy with all the weight he has gained but shouldn't be surprised because he seems to eat all the time.
Bryce is such a sweet baby. He only seems to cry if he is hungry or you are changing his diaper-which he hates! He eats anywhere from an hour and 45 minutes to 3.5 hours-totally depends on the day and he cluster feeds in the evening before bed. Some nights are great and he does every 2.5-3.5 hours and other nights are rough with less than 2 hours between feedings. He loves being in his swing and his activity mat and of course he loves to held and snuggle just like Grant. I also noticed after doing these posts that there aren't any pictures with me with Bryce since the hospital-need to work on that.

These are a few pictures of Grant and Bryce. Grant can't get enough of his little brother. He constantly wants to hug, kiss, try to hold him and have him in his lap. His face lights up when he sees Bryce-super cute! Though Grant is having a difficult time he doesn't show it to Bryce-just Mom and Dad! Grandma Linda, Bryce and Grant

Christmas Pics

I have been horrible about posting since it has been a crazy month with XMAS and getting ready for Bryce's arrival. For Christmas my sister and her family came a couple of days before and we went to Moody Gardens to the Festival of Lights. They left XMAS Eve morning. That night we went to church and then to a neighbors for a party. Christmas Day was spent at our house hanging out and then that night our friends The Simpson's came for dinner. This year things were very quiet but we had a wonderful time. Grant loved opening presents and still had presents to open the next day! The Cousins opening presents together.

Getting ready to head to church!

We thought we better do a belly picture since we hadn't done one in a while. I feel like that dress makes my belly look bigger than it was.

That night Andrew and I put together Grant's toys for XMAS morning.

Christmas morning-Grant was so excited to play with his art easel, Mickey Train set and tool bench that were all set up. We skped both sets of grandparents too.

Sophie helped Grant open some of his presents that night.
