My Little Fish

Our last small group swim party of the summer was this weekend. For some reason I decided I didn't want to swim this time and sat pregnant in 108 degree heat...

I am just going to blame my pregnancy brain for that one. NOT fun! I loved watching Lane have a blast and watching how independent he thinks he is. He was mimicking Jeffrey and kept putting his face in the water and blowing bubbles! It was super cute. I can't wait to teach him how to swim.

Here is his cute little self covered in the Doritos he had for dinner...

Me and my little fishy.

Cousins

We waited until the day after Brooks was born to take Lane by the hospital. We are so thrilled he has a boy cousin close to his age (and his brothers!) Here is the story of their joyous meeting...

He made awww sounds when he first saw him... precious!

"A new best friend!"

He needed to get a little closer...

He needed to touch his eye... only wanted to scratch his eye with his little finger nail.

"No, we can't touch baby Brooks eyes."

Aaaand we're done.

And the cousin love begins!

Sunday

Weekend day call is NOT fun. Night call is harder on Jeffrey, but day call is hard on us. It's like a never ending work week. I try to stay busy and press on. We went to church this morning, which Lane loves. Bible class is his favorite time of the week so I try really hard to get him there. We came home, ate lunch, and he took the mother of all naps. I think it was 3 1/2 hours long! He usually takes two 2 hour naps, but Sundays he gets one.

We had a little relief from the heat today so we went outside and played. I love the way he is starting to explore everything and is soaking up the world. Today I got emotional just thinking about adding our newest son to the family. It is so exciting, but I will MISS this precious one on one time with Lane. I have 4 more months and am not wishing the time away.

Though my new nephew makes me ache to hold my new one...

Pictures are coming soon of Lane meeting Baby Brooks for the first time!

I'm an AUNT!

So proud to introduce my first nephew Brooks Alston. Welcome to the world sweet boy!
