Thriller??

Or Walk Like an Egyptian?

A Rare Event

A rare event - Nick was awake before noon the other day so I tried to take more pictures of him, but he wasn't too cooperative. If he's awake before noon, it is only to be fed. So far he is definitely a night owl.

Family Visits

We had lots of family visits this weekend. Auntie Dre and Uncle Kevin came on Saturday to see Nick and Ben. Nick even woke up for a little bit for them!



And then Great Grandma Jane, Aunt Kathy and Uncle John came over on Sunday.

Storytime

Cameryn came over to meet Nick and play with Ben. They played really well together and had a good time playing in the tent and with Mardi Gras beads. Then they went in Ben's room and both sat down and read books. I found it pretty amusing.

Visitors

Ben and Nick had some visitors on Thursday including my Aunt Carol who will be a grandma within a month or so and my friend Elaine.

A Peanut and a Brazilian Nut

Nick weighing in at approximately 8lbs and Ben weighing in at 29lbs. Quite a bit of a size difference.

A Little Banana / Oompa Loompa

Nick has jaundice, like Ben did. Nick's did not become apparent until Monday, though, when I noticed his skin was very colorful and then got him to open his eye only to see that the whites were yellow. We took him to the doctor and got blood work done. He doesn't nee the phototherepy like Ben got in the hospital when he was born, just to eat as much as possible so he can 'poop it out' basically. Hopefully it will be all cleared out in a few days. In the meantime, Nick is sporting quite the tan, which is more prominent in flash pictures and when held next to Ben who could use a little sun

The Boys

Sleeping Faces

Some cute little faces while sleeping, even a little smile

Nick - 5 Days Old

Bath Time!

Nick's first bath - he was rather traumatized and screamed the entire time. But at least it kept him awake!

Mardi Gras Snowman

Ben and Grandma are making good use of the last of the snow. They actually had to make 2 snowmen today because the first one melted before I could take a picture of it.

He Can Make A Toy Out of Anything

Including a nursing pillow.

Let Me Get A Good Look At You

Say Cheese!

Nick got Ben a camera as a present for coming home. We thought that Ben might like it if he got a present and with a camera he can take pictures of Nick, too. Right now he just likes pressing buttons. But he definitely is my son - he took about 100 pictures in 20 minutes. And like me, there were about 3 good ones out of that 100.
