Brothers

Bryant wants to wear their matching brother shirts every day and was so disappointed when he put his on the other day and got it dirty.  Now that it's washed, it was time for pictures!

I like how Garrett was smiling at Bryant

This one is my absolute favorite...both my smiling, happy boys!!!

Garrett is One Month...and more!

I'm a little behind, but not too bad...I took some pictures today of Garrett to show how big our boy has gotten in 1 short month.  He is the most smiley baby and is pretty easy to please as long as milk is close by.  He loves to look outside and at the lights, but his big brother is still the one who can get the most smiles out of him.  He's sleeping pretty well with his longest sleep time from about 11 pm to 3 or 4 am, but it still never feels like enough!  

Every since Garrett was born, I have meant to take a picture of his toes.  When he was born, we called them gecko toes.  Every other toe goes forward and backward...too cute!

Here are a couple other pictures since my last post:

Bryant loves to snuggle Garrett any chance he can get

Garrett and I have ventured out on a couple of walks.  

More smiles

We signed Bryant up for soccer, so to prepare we went and bought shin guards (which he calls arm bands) and a soccer ball.  He now has cleats too and has been practicing like crazy.  I think he's ready equipment-wise for April, I just hope he's ready to play with some other kids besides us.  And I'm not sure how he grew up so fast, but he looks so old in this picture!

The other night he wanted to watch The Good Dinosaur movie again.  It was apparently a long day for my boys because neither one made it through the movie.

And of course, some more smiles:)

One Month Comparison

Okay...no cheating and looking at recent posts...which one of these pictures is Bryant and which  one is Garrett?  It's pretty easy for me to tell, but not sure if that's because I see them every day or if they are starting to look a little different:)

  

If you guessed Bryant then Garrett, you were correct!  Garrett's head seems more round to me and his upper body seems much bigger.  But, I think Bryant's legs were chunkier than Garrett's.  I tried to get a similar pose, so here's another set of pictures to compare:

I actually think they look a lot more alike in these pictures than the other one, but the top is Bryant and the bottom is Garrett.

Comparison

So...who does Garrett look like???

Bryant

Garrett

I think he looks like his brother, so it must be a perfect mix of Travis and I???

#babyshaming

Trav's sister got us a box of goodies for #babyshaming so I took advantage of the opportunity for some baby pictures.  Garrett's developed a couple nicknames already.  One is Gare-Bear and the other is G Unit.  Only fitting that the babyshaming came with a gold necklace:)

And a few non-babyshaming pictures too. We had some professional pictures taken a couple weeks ago, but until those are edited here are a couple of my attempts.

Two Week Update

We are loving being a little family of four.  Garrett is such a cuddly baby who loves to smile...typically because he just drank a lot of milk or because big brother was talking to him.  It's amazing how much he has changed in just his 2 short weeks.  He's starting to adjust his sleep schedule and has been awake more during the day.  This pictures are over the past two weeks and I think you can even see a change in his appearance over that time.

Our first family walk wasn't super successful...everyone needed to be carried, which made for a short walk (by distance) that took a long time!

Bryant still loves being a big brother.  He loves to get diapers for his brother.  He says that's his job.  He also found out that Garrett likes to suck on his finger, so Bryant thinks that he produces milk out of his finger.  The other day, he told me that Garrett likes his milk finger:)  He also thought that Garrett looked cold the other day, so he put this on him...

We've also discovered that Build-a-Bear clothes fit Garrett's head.  Future Bronco in the making?

Last Thursday, Garrett went for his 2 week checkup.  I'm not sure why the picture came in sideways, but you can see that my boys are almost identical, with Garrett being just slightly bigger than Bryant in all categories!

Last Friday, we took Bryant to his first track meet.  We explained to Bryant that daddy did the high jump and trying to explain sports to a 3 year old can always prove interesting.  Bryant's understanding was that daddy jumped over sticks!  After watching the competition, Bryant has now been practicing high jumping into the bean bag, bed, and anything else soft at the house:)

And more smiles!!!

Look at those dimples!

Between Carroll games and the approach of March Madness, we've been watching a lot of basketball at our house, which also means that Bryant has been playing a LOT of basketball.  His creativity is so fun to watch and it's also amazing to see what he picks up from watching.  He has to have warm-ups, do the jump ball, go to his locker room at half time, he always creates different team names (some more common words he uses in his team names are instruments, enras (I have no idea what this is, but almost always used), bobcats, broncos, and omahas).  He also is super interested in knowing who the teams are that are playing when we watch and also knows the Carroll players names.

The first video is Travis' "trick shot".  We have also picked up the clapping from watching the track meet.  Although I am super impressed with my husband's talents, I think it's super cute how Bryant has to tell Garrett about the trick shot at the end of the video:) 

Bryant's shot has improved so much!  I love his face after he made this shot:)

Buzzer beater!!!
