Bronx's Baptism-6 Weeks Old!

Bronx is 6 weeks old today!  He is changing so much each week and is definitely a growing boy!  I was curious how much he weighed, so I stepped on the scale with him yesterday.  I know that isn't the most accurate to weigh a baby, and he had his clothes and diaper on, but I am sure he is still 9 pounds or more naked!  He is still pretty content most of the day.  He isn't the most fond of the car, but if he's got a full tummy or sleeping before we go somewhere, he's good.  He just doesn't do well awake in the car.  I'm still getting up with him twice a night.  Typical bedtime is 9-10 pm, and then he is usually up every 3-4 hours.  He was only up once on Saturday night/Sunday morning, but hasn't done that since. Bummer!

 Mama & her boys!  8-11

Big smiles!

 Relaxing outside!  He gets a little fussy once in awhile at night, but if we sit outside he is as content as can be!

 He has big blue eyes just like his brothers!

8-15:  Boston held Bronx for almost an hour.  I kept asking him if he wanted me to take over and he quickly said 'No!  Not yet!  He's laying so still!'  

On Sunday the 18th, we celebrated Bronx's baptism!  Bronx did great!  He let out little cry's each time the water went on his head, but then he was fine. After church we had our family over to our house for lunch.  It was a special day!

Bronx taking a snooze before church.  He still loves to be swaddled up tight when he sleeps.  He's also taken a special liking to this blanket, so we went and got another.  

All 3 of our boys now have 2 of their favorite blanket.

All ready for church!

Brigham helped me open Bronx's gifts.  This is a train bank from Grandpa Ron & Grandma Lisa that was personalized with Bronx's name and baptism date.  

Brigham thought this gift was really cool!  It's a 57 Chevy model car that was Papa Jerry's!  Bronx has vintage cars in his nursery, and this matches perfectly with his room decor!  

Such a neat keepsake for Bronx!

Aunt Lacey had this made for Bronx.  Another neat addition to his bedroom!

I ordered his baptism outfit from an Etsy shop.  It turned out SO cute!

 Sunday afternoon we had our family pictures taken!  It was a fundraiser for a little 4 year old girl in Sioux Falls with a brain tumor.  I met her dad at Shetek Bible camp when I was younger, so I was happy to help support the cause.  The boys looked so cute in their new outfits!  It was only a 20 minute photo shoot, so hoping the photographer got at least a few good ones!

On our way to pictures.  Derek looks thrilled doesn't he?!

Yesterday, my god daughter Keeley spent the day with us!  I'm not sure we were a ton of fun for her, but the boys and I sure loved having her with us for the day.

 He loves to lay around naked!

 But when he is all done holding him, he just sort of lets go!  I'm never too far away!

Our Weekend

Derek had the weekend off so we enjoyed our time as a family of 5!  Derek and I even went on a 'date' on Friday afternoon!  That hadn't happened in a long time, so it was much needed. Glady and Les kept the boys for us, so we did some golfing & then had diner at CJ Callaways.  I hadn't golfed in about 3 years, so I was terrible, but it was still fun!  My first shot off the tee box went behind me.  Impressive huh?!

 Saturday morning we went to Colman for Looney Days!  The kids enjoyed the parade and the inflatables.  We also visited my grandparents & got to see my Aunt Kristi!
It was fun for my friends & family to meet Bronx!

The kids are waiting for the parade to start!

Waiting for all the candy!

My aunt Kristi meeting Bronx for the first time!

Brigs had lots of fun jumping!

 He thought this big slide looked fun but once he got to the top he wouldn't go down!

 Cotton Candy!

Here the boys are showing me their 'cute face'.  

 Derek grilled up some steaks for us on Saturday night.!
He got the boys a special treat...Root beer in a bottle!

 Derek golfed in the Billion golf tournament today, so the boys and I have been hanging out. Boston fed Bronx for the first time.  He thought it was pretty fun!

Bronx had an 'off' day today.  Poor thing fought his sleep the entire day.  He would doze off for 20 minutes or so, and then wake up fussy.  It was a long day for both of us!  Normally he is super mellow and takes great naps, so it was quite the change!
