Update on the boys

I'm not sure how much you can really tell of a child's personality at only 14 days old, but I can tell you how Grant is different from Evan as a newborn. For one thing, he SLEEPS! Evan, who never missed a meal, was on the 1-2 hour feeding schedule and rarely slept 3, let alone 4, hours at a stretch. Grant however, is a sleepy baby and nurses in short 5-10 minute intervals and will sleep for 3-4 hours at a stretch. For the first week, I was waking him to eat at night! But now that I know he's gaining weight adequately, I'm letting that kid sleep! Other than that, Grant, like Evan, is a very easy baby and very sweet. I forgot how nice it is to hold a newborn. But it's also bittersweet, since holding a newborn makes your first child immediately seem so big and grown up. But Evan continues to make us laugh and I continue to relish in his new developments and growth. For example, he is now really starting to put complex sentences together--not surprising since he talks ALL THE TIME. He's also being a great big brother and recently has started talking to Grant in a high-pitched "baby speak" voice, I guess to imitate me. He tries to share his snacks with Grant, which is really sweet. I've tried to explain that Grant doesn't have teeth yet.

Ok, enough chit-chat. Here are some new photos.

Wouldn't he make a cute little girl? This is as close as we're going to get.










Evan is hooked on the juice.
