A Birthday Surprise for Brother...

To celebrate Bracken's one week birthday

(and to satisfy Reagan's sweet tooth)

Daddy made cupcakes!
Demonstrating the art of sprinkles...

Reagan giving it a shot...
Wouldn't you want one? Mmmm...

Adding her princess candles...

Testing out her handiwork...

Doesn't he look thrilled?

Happy Birthday Brother!

Scenes from around the house...

A few shots from our first week at home...

with lots of hugs and kisses from big sis!

I told him to look serious and this

is what he gave me...

Playtime on the floor

On the move...

Making silly faces.

I think you can guess what he

is doing in this picture...

Our sweet and squishy old man...

Playing nice...

Our Little Family

Yesterday was our first day at home and

we are all doing well. Bracken is eating and sleeping

most of his day (not so much sleeping at night) while Reagan is

thrilled to have us all home. When we got in the car

to come home she exclaimed "Mommy and baby

come too?!?" with a smile. Life is good.

Big Sis

Reagan had such a big week with the

arrival of baby brother... She did

so well helping out at the hospital and
is doing well in her role as big sis!

(despite her expression in some of these photos... :)

This one is a keeper...

Read lots of books with Daddy.

I'm a new big sis and all I got

was this lousy pin...

Checking things out with great grandma Judy

Loves to hold him and kiss him!

We did have moments of regression...

Shaking hands which she calls "friendship"

Welcome to the World...

Hanging out with mom and dad after delivery

Already leaving his mark...
Meeting Big Sis!

All cleaned up and getting

aquainted with his fist...

Handsome boy.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

As we await baby brother's arrival our efforts to remove

all things pink from the nursery have been ongoing...
As I look at these photos I realize how much

color the rug reflected on the white walls...!
*BEFORE*

*AFTER*

(NO, you cannot see his name on the wall so stop asking) Helping mommy set up the mobile... Testing out the mattress (pretend napping)

Super cute jungle themed
removeable decals (genious!)

Reagan is a big helper and investigates

the "baby" toys regularly...
(a.k.a throws them on the floor)

We are stocked - see all the blue and green?

(now where is that baby...?)

Dancing in the Sun

Just being nutty in the backyard...

This is her "diva" face...
