2 & 3 Weeks

Things are great here! Nicholas and Christian are really great together. We went through a few jealous days and now Nicholas is right back to adoring Christian! Christian is a really good baby, he has already started taking one bottle of expressed breast milk a day. Mom-Mom, Pop-pop and Daddy really enjoy this bonding experience and I really enjoy the break. Christian has had a few long sleep stretches at night and even gave me a well needed 8 hours one night!!! I know that is out of the ordinary but it happened to coincide with Chris and I going out to dinner for the first time, so it was really a nice treat! Can't believe he will be one month next Tuesday!

Christian is One Week Old!!!

Wow, we can't believe Christian was born a week ago today. It seems like he has been with us all along. It's amazing how much we love him already. I'm waiting for Nicholas' excitement for his little brother to end, but so far he's been the best big brother ever.

I'm the cutest little brother ever.

Nicholas adores his little brother.

Big bro and little bro.

Nicholas has been such a big boy, helping daddy water the grass.

I'm so sleepy after my long day!

Christian Francis

Christian Francis was born on March 13, 2010 at 1:20 in the afternoon. He weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long. He in nearly a pound lighter than Nicholas and a half inch longer, so he is very long and skinny. He seems to have lighter hair and coloring than Nicholas had at birth, maybe his eyes will be blue?! It is hard to tell right now. He is a real cutie and everything has been going well, enjoying his sleepy week for the moment! Nicholas has been such a good big brother, he sings to him and gives him lots of kisses, when he cries Nicholas says, "It's OK baby!" Super cute! Here are a few pictures of his first few days...

Day 1: Welcome to the world!
