My little man's first week

I can't believe that Brody will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. This is just reminding me of how quickly time flies and how he is going to grow so fast. It reminds me that I need to cherish every day! Brody has definitely been changing with each day. He is such a good baby. I seriously am so thankful for that! I was really nervous about having him because I know how hard it can be to have a newborn, and then add a 2 yr old to that! I seriously didn't know how I would be able to hand things. He is soooo good and sweet though! He usually eats every 4-6 hours (quite different from Brooke's 2 1/2 - 3 hour feeding schedule) and has been sleeping 6-7 hours at night. I feel so blessed!

My mom came into town last week to meet the little guy and help me. It has been so nice to have her here and she has been a big help!

Here's some pictures from his first week. He has the cutest little dimple when he smiles, I just haven't been able to catch a picture of it yet! He also has these amazing deep blue eyes, which we are seeing more and more of as he is becoming more alert. (Excuse the amateur photography!!)

As far as Brooke, she has been doing very well with Brody. She is protective of him and loves to show us how soft she can be. She is very good at not touching his face and loves to give him kisses on his head. The first night we had him home she was trying to figure out exactly what we had here and pinched his cheek. It really made her feel bad because he screamed (didn't cry though) and she realized this little guy was different from the dolls she has! She has been the best big sister!

This is a picture we had taken about a month ago. She looks so old!
