Brandon's Pictures

So now that Brandon is 2 weeks old, I have figured out how to sneak in a minute or two to post pictures. This is just minutes after he was born. I was definitely crying.

Proud Papa 3rd time over... I love watching these 2 together. They definitely have a special bond already.

Emma has been a SUPER big sister and LOVES to be called a "Big sister." She loves baby Brandon and is a great helper for mom.

Nate has told me several times that it is not my baby, but his. He absolutely adores Brandon and can't keep from touching him or talking to him. Although at times I am bugged by this and would prefer he leave the sleeping baby alone, I know these are moments to be cherished.

I don't know if its "3rd times a charm" or what, but I am LOVING this little guy and feel like as a mom I am figuring things out much more quickly with this one. He is so cute and cuddly. He is a sweet little guy that has brought much happiness to our home.
