One Week Old!

Our little Baby Brycey (as Brennan often calls him) is one week old today. I feel like the week has flown by. Honestly it feels like Bryce has always been a part of our family. He has just fit right in so easily. Of course we've had an easy week and I haven't been out of the house with both boys alone yet, so we'll see how easy I think it is after that.

Even though it's only been a week, we've still learned a lot about Bryce. Here's what we already know:

• Loves the baby swing
• Loves the bouncy seat
• Loves the car seat
• Gets swaddled at night
• Falls asleep on his own at night; doesn't need to be rocked to sleep
• Eats well every 3 hours - sometimes going 4 at night
• Forehead gets wrinkled while eating; it's super cute
• Often gets the hiccups after feeding - trying to keep him upright after eating to help with this
• Spits up sometimes - yesterday we had several projectile vomits after the hiccups, hoping this is just the result of him getting used to my milk coming in
• Poops a lot
• Doesn't use a binky yet, but did take one for a little bit Saturday night
• Seems to like it when I sing to him
• Starting to have some longer periods of wake time after feedings

I have mentioned several times how impressed I have been with Brennan this past week. He has been a super big brother. Here's what I've learned about him:

• Does great playing independently while I feel Bryce - likes to be in the nursery with us, but will play a board game or do puzzles
• Having fun rediscovering all his baby toys that are in Bryce's room
• Asks to hold "it" when he wants to hold Bryce
• Knows Bryce eats Mommy's boobies - "Bryce all done eating Mommy's boobies now?"
• Constantly asks where baby Brycey is
• If asked, "Who wants you to obey?", now responds with, "God, Mommy and Daddy, and baby Bryce." 

I am head over heels in love with these two boys! Wish us luck as Daddy goes back to work this week!
