A Family of Four


We are settling into our new life as a family of four since Connor's arrival.  He is such an easy baby so far....he just sleeps & eats for the most part.  He wakes up for short periods a few times a day, but then drifts back off to sleep for a few hours.  He doesn't fuss much and is soooo cuddly : )  Brayden is loving life as a big brother.  I have been amazed at how tolerant and understanding he continues to be of how much time Connor demands.  He has not shown any jealously and wants to help & play with Connor as much as possible.  I hope this only continues! 

Connor's first two weeks of life have been filled with lots of visits from family and friends.  Other than some jaundice issues his first few days home, which were cleared up with the use of a bili blanket, Connor has been doing great.  We enjoyed having Greg home the first week, but he had to go back to work this week, so its just been me & the boys.  Its been a little tiring trying to keep up with Brayden, while getting by on less sleep and having Connor to take care of too, but I love being home with them.  Below are a few pictures from the past two weeks:      
Connor's first bath.  He cried the whole time, which Brayden thought was funny.  He also peed all over me & the walls; I had forgotten that little boys tend to do that when the diaper comes off!
Brayden and daddy enjoying a beautiful day outside and waiting to cheer on Syracuse
He's awake!

Brayden loves to cuddle up beside Connor or hold him as much as possible.  He loves his baby brother!

Aunt Gina came by on Monday and did a photoshoot with Connor, Connor & Brayden, and the whole family (first picture at top).  They came out GREAT!!  I'll post more pictures from the shoot on my next post....
