- It looks like he is going to be a very good eater, just like his two older sisters. He had no problems figuring out how to 'latch on' on his first attempt and hasn't really slowed down since then. The night after he was born and we were still in the hospital the nurses were surprised when they weighed him and he was 6lbs 14oz, which was only 3oz less than his birth weight.
- Shaylin and Emmalyn adore him. They love to just be close to him and they really love getting to hold him. Shaylin is constantly asking and Emmalyn is always excitedly saying 'Baby!' wanting to hold him.
- His older sisters really don't like to hear him cry. They are always rushing over to see what the matter is and Shaylin is quick to offer suggestions as to why he is crying and what we can do to get him to stop.
- He got us excited by sleeping for two ~ 5 hour stretches during his 3rd and 4th nights at home. Since then he has done 2-4 hour stretches of sleeping at night.
- He does not like to have a dirty diaper. As soon as he goes he starts to fuss and that fussing quickly turns into full blown crying until his diaper is changed. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this will somehow translate into him wanting to be potty trained earlier, but we're not holding our breath.
- He doesn't like the diaper changing process either. He cries through the whole thing until it's over and he's wrapped back up in a warm blanket.
- He likes his pacifier (or 'binky' as we like to call it) so far. We're hoping that keeps up because that's how Shaylin was and she never sucked her thumb. Emmalyn never liked a binky but sucked her thumb.
- He has already 'watched' his first Arizona Cardinals game with Matt. Matt is looking forward to watching many more with him in the future.

This was Shaylin and Emmalyn's first chance to hold Bronson, shortly after we got home from the hospital. They couldn't have been more happy and excited...
Dec 7th - 2 Days Old
Jayna and Bronson asleep after a few mostly sleepless days/nights...
Bronson hanging out in the boppy...
Bronson has had no shortage of attention from his sisters...
Our little man...

There's a reason half these pictures are of Shaylin and/or Emmalyn holding Bronson - because they've been wanting to hold him all the time!
Bronson in another outfit. We needed to change his outfit about 2-3 times per day during the first week because of him getting pee all over himself most the time he peed.

He looked so cute 'hugging' his burp cloth. He likes to wrap his arms around blankets and burp cloths.
Dec 12th - 7 Days Old
Bronson's first bath at home was quite the experience. As soon as he got in the water he pee'd all over the place (we've heard stories, but we're still amazed at how far little boy babies can pee!). He wasn't a big fan of the bath, as you can see. Then, as soon as we got him out and wrapped up in a towel he showed us how happy he was with us by making the biggest poop he's ever had in the towel!
Content in the towel after taking care of business...
We took a picture like this when Emmalyn was just a little baby and Shaylin was HUGE compared to her. So we decided to take a similar one with Bronson. He's got a lot of growing to do if he's ever going to catch up to his sisters!
Handsome little Bronson all wrapped up in a warm blanket...
After his first bath Shaylin and Emmalyn got to hold him. They were all smiles again!

We have a feeling we're going to be taking a lot of these pictures, partly because Shaylin asks to have her picture taken when she's holding him.
This is a cute picture of Shaylin from the day Bronson was born (Dec 5th) while our families were hanging out outside of the hospital that we didn't get into our last post...
For some reason Bronson's car seat quickly became Emmalyn and Shaylin's favorite toy, so we ended up having to put it away when we're not using it. Here they are playing in it on Dec 9th...
Here's a few cute pics from Dec 11th of Emmalyn and Shaylin playing well together and having fun sitting in the laundry basket...
