Wordless Wednesday--a day late

Are you ready for some football?

Yes, yes we are. When the Cowboys game started last night, everyone was in their Cowboys gear (minus myself because I can't remember where my jersey is). The outfit that Nolan is wearing actually belonged to Russ and was worn 33 years ago. And again 2 1/2 years ago when Garrett was that size. :)

The many faces of Nolan

These were all taken a week ago, when he was 5 weeks old. He's smiling a lot now!

Man Night

Garrett got to join Russ at a Rangers game with the rest of the Men of Firewheel and he had a blast. :) He got to see some "beesball" being played and spotted the Rangers mascot, Captain the horse. He now owns his own pillow pet version of Captain...pictures to come on that one. I love it when my boys have fun together.

Just for fun...

One Month!

Phew! This last month has been a whirlwind of labor, a hospital stay, family visits and many sleepless nights. But it's also been full of snuggles, that undefinable baby smell, and learning how to be parents to two boys. We really are so blessed with the family and friends that surround us and have spoiled us with dinners nearly every other night since Nolan came home from the hospital. If you're reading this and you're one of those folks...thank you!

I'm gonna post a whole bunch of pictures from the last couple weeks and at the end will be his One Month pictures with the Airborne Bear...just like his big brother used to do!

Brother time on the play-mat

One of his favorite "poses"

Relaxing on the play-mat after a bit of tummy time.

New backpack!! Grandma sent him a new backpack that's big enough to fit his school folder. He's getting so big!

Loving on Nolan--Garrett is such a sweet big brother most of the time.

One Month Old!!! And he didn't cry during his pictures like Garrett did. 

But he WAS ready to be done pretty quickly. :)

First Real Bath

Not so sure about this water stuff...

...but I love being wrapped up with Elmo! 

(Thanks for the fun towel, Grammy!)

First 3 Weeks as a Family of Four

We made it!! We've had multiple family members come to visit and several of our wonderful friends from church and DTS have spoiled us with meals. Here are the highlights of the last few weeks since we brought Nolan home.

Week One

Garrett loves his new rocketship from Grammy and Grandad!

Nolan cuddling with his Grammy

Grandad checking out the newest Wells man.

Garrett's first time "holding" Nolan. (Despite the rough looks on our faces, it was sweet hearing Garrett ask to hold his little brother.)

First time napping in the bassinet.

Week Three

Grandpa brings out the silly faces in everyone...

...and the monkey side of Garrett.

Grandma enjoyed getting to know her latest grandson.

And she snuck in some double snuggles too.

Tummy Time!!!

Cheese!

Feels good to be outside again after the non-stop heat of summer.

Fresh air

Yum. Grandpa's hand.

Nolan is learning that there's NO crying in baseball.
