3 Weeks Old Already!

It has been brought to my attention that I have not done a very good job of updating this blog or posting pictures and for that I apologize. I guess I forgot how much time an infant takes up and how tiring it can be to take care of one. And an active 4-year old doesn't help the situation!
Brandon is 3 weeks old today, and I already can not believe how quickly the time has gone by and how much he's grown! He went for his first doctor visit on August 26th, and had already gained 7 oz. since the day we left the hospital! At the visit he weighed 7 lb. 12 oz. so there were no concerns about whether or not he was getting enough to eat! :) He is actually doing very well with eating and sleeping at night. His schedule is almost like clockwork in that he eats about every three hours, which usually works out to only one midnight feeding. And then he's usually up again about the time Russell has to get ready for school, so its not so bad.
Speaking of Russell, he is doing Great as a big brother! He loves helping (most of the time), whether it's feeding Brandon, playing with him, helping Dad build things for him, or just hanging out. He tends to get a little jealous when we have company over, but it's just a hyper jealous and not a mean jealous. I can handle the hyperness and if that's as bad as it gets, I'm not going to complain.
We are all doing great now that we're home and in some sort of routine. I think Brandon and Russell are both sick of me taking pictures but that's just what I do. They better get used to it! Brandon goes back for his 1 month check up on September 22nd, so I'm excited to see how much he's grown again. He already seems so big to me so I'm interested to know exact details. I'll update you then!
