Welcome Home Kyle!

Well, Kyle has been home for three weeks now. He is 38 weeks old and weighs 6 lbs! He is breast feeding some, but gets most from a bottle, so I am spending alot of time breast pumping. I have a great milk supply, I'm actually running out of room to store all the milk, I even have a freezer in the garage that is full! Kyle usually has a couple hours a day when he is awake and alert. He doesn't cry much, but when he does, he has a much stronger cry. He enjoys being held and likes to sleep in your arms. Bryson seems to be adjusting well. He shows some interest in the baby, but mostly doesn't pay him any mind. Bryson is obsessed with books. He reads books or wants you to read books to him all day! He carries them all over the house. He also loves to be outside and play in the dirt.

My mom came to help out for a little over a week and my dad came for a weekend. My mom was a great help and cooked and cleaned for us and watched Bryson so I could focus on breast-feeding with Kyle. It was sad to see her go. Steve, Jan and Anna were able to come by on the weekend to meet Kyle and visit with Bryson as well. Ken's friend Sheila is staying with us while she looks for a job in Portland. She is helping out with Bryson and some work around the house. I feel like things are under control now, I don't think I would be able to do it all on my own yet (Ken is working full time). I am thankful to all our friends and family who have helped us out in our time of need!
