Lots Happening

It seems a lot has happened since our last post. We'll begin with some new pictures of Grant. He is back up above his birth weight, now weighing 5 lbs. 9.9 ozs.

The boys have been great with Grant. Ryan is an absolutely awesome big brother, holding Grant, feeding him, comforting him, and just filling in wherever needs to be. Tyler helps all the way around with Grant or Andrew. He can be a great distraction for Andrew and keeps him occupied quite well. As for Andrew, well, he's getting a little more adjusted to having a baby brother. He doesn't call him Grant, just says "Baby". The other night we came home and Grant was in his car seat. He started crying and when I walked in the room to get him, Andrew had already picked up his bottle and was knelt down next to the car seat trying to give it to him. It was pretty cute!!! He also likes to help burp him during feedings.

We've also hit fall sports time. Here's a picture of Ryan being introduced at his first football game. Yes, he is playing football on the Halstead Hurricane team and has had one game already at Valley Center. We won 12-7. He's playing defensive tackle. He's really enjoying it and fits the role of a football player pretty well. Now we get to split every weekend and one of us gets to go to Ryan's football game and the other one to Tyler's soccer game (which was cancelled this last weekend due to rain). Of course, football played despite the rain.

I was just looking at the pics again... I recognize my jean skirt and lap in the picture of Grant.
