The Boys

Some pictures from yesterday... Mommy (and the boys too) survived her first outing alone. We went in for Noah's 2 week check-up and learned that he really does have a ferocious appetite. The 2-week goal for babies is to regain their birth weight. Noah, at birth, was 8lbs 3oz... and yesterday weighed in at 8lbs 15oz! Wow! He was 21 inches long. No wonder some of those newborn clothes are getting tight.

Braiden test driving Noah's bouncy seat. Safety check complete!

A tight grip on mommy's finger.


This scene repeats itself throughout the day. Braiden is so sweet with Noah!

Ihania kuvia. Tosin hihittelin täällä itsekseni koska noissa alimmissa kuvissa jossa oli molemmat pojat, minun mielestä Braiden ihan selvästi toiveikkaana katselee pikkuveljeä että milloin se on kasvanut niin isoksi että tulee leikkikaveriksi;) Ilmankos Noah syö niin paljon, taitaa olla kiire kasvaa että pääsee isonveljen kanssa leikkeihin:)

Forgot to say what a cool looking baby seat - is it a swing? Also, Braiden's expression is priceless on the first one with Noah. So sweet!!

Thanks Marsha and Sennu! Ja kiitos Sirpi!
My heart melts every time I see Braiden and Noah together.
Noah is in the swing in those last pictures - it's been a lifesaver!!! We had one for Braiden too, but it wasn't as comfy, and Braiden never really liked it. And of course, with the first one, I had all the time in the world to just sit on the couch and hold him. :)

Those are such sweet pictures! It's wonderful that Braiden already loves his brother so much...and way to grow, Noah! Anya was the same - she was half a pound over her birth weight by 2 weeks.

I have to agree - that swing really is amazing. We have the same one and Anya just about lived in it for the first six months of her life. They forgot to list "sanity saver" as one of its features on the box :)
