AIRPLANE!!!

Papa G took Brian on his first airplane trip while we were in Fairview over Easter! He absolutely loved it!!



Brian's 1st Easter

Well, it only took me a little over a week to get the Easter pictures posted! I'm considering that pretty good for me right now!

We had so much fun in Fairview, TN with Nana K, Papa G, Aunt Amy, and Uncle Andrew! Brian took his first trip to the big ol' metropolis of Fairview!! LOL! (For those of you who know Fairview, you know why that is funny!) Brian did EXCELLENT on the 10 hour car ride! We are so blessed that he likes to ride and he slept most of the trip!

We really enjoyed our week with my parents, however, we are NOT going to let Papa G carry Brian around ALL the time next time we visit! It took almost 3 days before Brian was content again in his bouncy seat and on his playmat! But I guess it is a lot more fun to be moving around all the time!!!

We are very thankful for being able to spend Easter with family!

It was a BEAUTIFUL day!

2 Month Check-Up

Brian had his 2 month check-up today! We were so glad that he continues to grow and is very healthy! Mommy was the closest to guessing his weight! Brian weighed 9lbs 4oz and was 21 1/2 inches long today! He has gained 1lb 3oz and grown 1 1/2 inches in the last month! Mommy and Daddy thought that was great (and so did Dr. Britt), but he is still only in the 5% for both his weight and length!!! He's a little guy! His little (well, daddy says "big") head was 38cm in circumference - and that's only in the 10% range! So we can still brag that our little miracle is perfect - proportional and healthy! Dr. Britt also assured Mommy that it was perfectly normal for Brian's poopy diapers to happen less frequently - he's gone 5 days without pooping!!! Dr. Britt said breast-fed babies can go a week or more when they hit about 2 months!!! Mommy and Daddy both agree that they don't want to go a week without pooping, but it doesn't seem to bother Brian! :)

Brian took his shots like a champion and Mommy did pretty good, too! Hopefully he won't have any negative reactions to the vaccines. Now hopefully we won't have to see the doctor again until May 29th for our 4 month check-up!!! And then we'll do this all over again!

2 Months Old

Brian is now 2 months old!!! He is getting so big! We go to the doctor for his check-up next Monday, April 6th! Any bets on how much he weighs??? Momma thinks he's gonna weigh 9 lbs 2 oz, but daddy thinks he weighs over 10 lbs! We'll see who's closer! Brian's definitely grown some in length as we are having to put away some of the newborn clothes that are getting too short for his long little legs (looks like he's gonna take after his daddy!).

Brian also got to meet his other great-grandparents last Friday! Great-grandma Lucille and Great-Grandpa Ed came to Great-Aunt Pat's house in Winston Salem to see us! Great-Grandma Velma and Great-Grandpa Leo came, too! Aunt Pat cooked a great lunch and we loved spending time with everyone! Brian is so blessed to have 5 great-grandparents alive and 7 great-aunts and uncles to love and spoil him! Not to mention the 4 grandparents and 4 aunts and uncles that spoil him like crazy!!!

Here's some more pictures!!!
