We had a doctor's appointment today. Brendan is now 31 pounds and almost 36 inches. I knew he'd had a growth spurt recently, but I hadn't realized he'd grown 3 inches! Luke is 11 pounds 9 ounces - almost 5 pounds more than his birth weight! He's also grown 2 inches. He's now 23 inches long. Brendan did really well. At the past several appointments, both his and mine, he's started screaming as soon as Dr. Tallon walked into the room. This time he actually smiled at her. And while he was pretty upset that she wanted to look in his ears, he was quite happy to show her that he knew where his belly button was. Luke spent much of the time sleeping.

This is a picture from the other day. Brendan just loves Luke! Ok, so he gets a little impatient sometimes when he wants my attention and I need to take care of Luke, but really he's doing great as a big brother.


Here's a picture of Brendan's new haircut. I finally cut it on Saturday afternoon. That was quite the adventure! It still needs to be neatened up a bit, but I'll probably wait until this coming Saturday before I try anything more. There's only so much trauma that child can endure...

My brother is engaged! He and his fiancee, Penny, are getting married on December 30! Michael will be doing the readings, I will be matron-of-honor, Brendan is going to be a miniature groom (I can't wait to see him in a little tux!), and Luke will just be his adorable little self.
I think that's enough updating for tonight, it's getting pretty late.
