Reece is a growing, happy, healthy boy. He spends most of his days as a typical newborn does: sleeping and eating. He definitely does not miss an opportunity for a meal, as you can tell by the double chins and adorable leg rolls he is developing! His nighttime schedule is still in the works. Some nights he will sleep 2-3 hours at a time, others only around 1-2. Hopefully we'll get some longer stretches of sleep by the time I go back to work in September (fingers crossed!).
Garrett loves his little brother. He gives lots of kisses and hugs. He is also a fantastic helper around the house. He likes to throw away Reece's diapers and fetch things for mommy as needed. He has also been interested in "helping" in the kitchen as I prepare meals. Just the other night, he made his own biscuit pizza. He was very proud!
Here, Reece is wearing a shirt that Garrett picked out for him. Elmo is one of Garrett's favorite characters, so this tee was perfect for his little brother!
It is fun to see Reece and Garrett interact. Reece will calm down and become attentive to Garrett whenever he's nearby. I can't wait to sit back and watch the boys interact in years to come!
Where did Reece's neck go??
Garrett enjoys going to the store with me for one-on-one "mommy time". He helps out by throwing things in the cart as I hand them to him. He also likes to open/close the freezer doors. Just the other day the grocery bagger at Hy-Vee gave Garrett this orange freezer pop. He was disappointed that he had to wait for it to freeze before he could have it...but was very excited when we got it out of the freezer the next day! It was a perfect treat on a warm Sunday afternoon!
"See you later!", says Reece!
