Four Weeks Old

Brandon is four weeks old today. Wow, how time flies. I still look at him in disbelief that we get to keep him. He is such a sweetie. Brandon showed us a new trick this week that I am not excited about. Brandon has started holding his own bottle! Yes, that right HOLDING his bottle. Not just putting his hands on it or helping to hold it - actually holding it on his own. He is just growing too fast.

Cody got a new grill this weekend, so we had to test it out. We invited our friends Chip and Heather with their son Evan to come evaluate the chef's cooking. We had such a good time, and Brandon slept the entire time.

See I told you! The picture is a little fuzzy, but I was not holding the bottle at all. I thought I had months before he could do this.

Sweet dreams.

" Look how big I have gotten." These are some pants he got today - just for reference they are newborn size.

"Hey, how did my binky get over there?" This is one of my favorite pictures. Brandon looks like he doesn't understand that he spit his binky out.

We started trying to play with Brandon this week. He loses interest pretty fast right now. We tested out his bracelet rattles. Brandon was not impressed.

It cracks us up when Brandon lays like this. We always cover him up to his neck, and then he will pull his arms out. He looks like a little adult laying like this.

As we have said before, Brandon prefers to sleep on our chests. Well, he prefers Daddy's over mine. Daddy takes advantage of the advise to 'sleep when baby is sleeping'. The lamb is a sleep sheep that makes noises. Brandon loves it!

Brandon in our bed. We did not want to chance moving him to the crib or pack-n-play.

The Grillmaster! Cody grills his first batch of hamburgers on his new grill.

Cody made some great burgers. He is so proud.

Brandon's other best bud. Evan was so gentle with Brandon. They are going to get into a lot of trouble together.

Evan tested out Brandon's swing when we weren't looking. He climbed in himself and even turned on the music.
