One month already!

Can not believe it has been a month already! This little guy is at 23 inches and 10lbs 6oz 
according to my measurements :) He was all full of smiles today too! 

He loves to eat and sleep and we can not complain there! 
All around he is a very laid back baby who is very content! 

Some fun facts...
~ My big brother can not stand to hear me cry!!
~ I love food and have 4-5 ounces every 3-4 hours
~ I usually go down for bed around 9:30 (eat at 12:30 and 4:30) and wake up ready to party around 8:30. Super sleeper award so far! 
~ I LOVE fuzzy blankets just like my big brother!! 
~ I have a bit of a tied tongue
~ Big brother Braylon routinely gives me kisses before bed and first thing when he wakes up. I think he loves me! 
~ I am pretty sure i am going to have daddy's blue eyes! 
~ I am starting to get into a little routine too!! Yay me!

3 weeks!

Time is flying! It has been three weeks since Brekkon graced us. So far he has been a very laid back and easy going baby who loves to sleep, eat and be cuddled! He has had so much fun meeting so many special people who he will grow to love more and more as he gets older. He has already made so many physical changes too! It is truly an amazing thing to know how a baby starts and continues to grow and amaze through their lives! He was officially a little chunk (not really, he is a skinny little thing) but with in two weeks he gained well over a pound and was above birth weight again. This is something we never experienced with Braylon. Braylon came home only ounces less then what he weighed at birth and from there just kept growing. Brekkon lost a pound his first 48 hours and took almost two weeks to gain it back. He is growing now though and seems to be getting so big already! As for big brother... I think all the change has finally hit him. His behavior has been less than par at home but we are working on it. I cannot imagine the change he has gone through so we are working on a good balance to help him through it! It does not help that he has such a strong willed personality! I also think we could all use a little routine back in our lives as well!! Check out some fun new pictures over the last week or two!





We have been looking forward to spring so much in the Fenstermaker house that every chance we get to use our rain boots.... WE do!!! Braylon is a puddle jumping pro! I think we went through 3 clothes sets this day! 



Mommy just got a new baby carrier to help free up some hands for crazy big brother when we are out and about. Braylon had to have a turn with his baby too! 




Braylon's new obsession... MARIO CART! Andrew decided to show him a little racing action last week and since then it is all he wants to do. He usually is stuck around the start of the race doing circles or driving backwards and recently seems to be getting a better grasp of the controls but he gets sooo excited to "finish" a race each time! 



We spent the morning playing at Mamaw and Papaw's farm yesterday. The weather was great for a walk, stomping through the creek and of course some four wheeler time! WE even spent the evening playing with the Eversmeyer clan! Needless to say it was a good night sleep for all of us!

It has been a week already!

What a week it has been! It is amazing just how small and tiny a newborn is after chasing a toddler around! Things are going great in the Fenstermaker home. We are all adjusting well to having a baby in the house and although Braylon can get a little emotional sometimes he seems to be doing great with all the change too! He is a super helper with Brekkon. He loves to visit him first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. He helps feed him and always sneaks in some smooches too! He is NOT a fan of the crying. He gets a little sad himself and says "pick him up". We have been really lucky with Brekkon too because he is a laid back little dude with lots of cuddles. He sleeps a lot, eats a lot and rarely cries much! So far the transition has been easier than I remember! He had a rough few days of eating and lost a good pound before coming home. Our 48 hour doctor visit weighed him in 4 ounces heavier than when we left the hospital! Wahoo!! We have our well check tomorrow and hoping he has made a few more ounces on the scale. We never had that issue with Braylon! In fact, I am not sure he lost more than just a couple ounces before sky rocketing the charts through the first year or so.

Here are a few fun photos of our two crazy boys and this life we love!
