I finally managed to find somewhere I can upload pictures! It turns out that if I drive across the street to the parking lot of the mall I can get wireless internet access. So today I hung out in my car long enough to upload these pictures. It's not many, but now that I know where to go I'll try to update the blog more regularly. So here are a few pictures from the past two and a half weeks in no particular order....


Some quality time with my new baby boy...Very new baby with Daddy - not sure we had even named him at this point!
Grayson showing Luke some of his old favorites...
Grayson holding Luke at home for the first time.
Grayson being a silly goose making sock puppets.
Luke Chancellor - 1.5 weeks old.
Taking a little nap.
Luke with his Grammy (or maybe we should start saying Mimi since that's what Grayson has now decided to call her!).
Luke with Grandpa (or maybe we should say Popaw since that's what Grayson has decided to call him!).
Luke with his Nana (or maybe we should say Nannie since that's what Grayson has decided to call her!).
Two and half weeks into things we're trying to figure out this new little puzzle. He's back to his birthweight of 8 pounds, but he definitely has some feeding issues. He's an "ineffecient nurser" which basically translates into taking extraordinarily long to feed him between letting him nurse and then giving him a bottle afterwards. And did I mention that he's hungry about every hour and a half to two hours for a large part of the day? Other than the little mystery feeding combination we haven't figured out yet, though, he seems to be a pretty good baby.

Grayson is adapting well to his new little brother. Every now and then we hear a "mine," but for the most part he's sharing all of his old things with no fuss. The biggest meltdown was when I put Luke in Grayson's seat in the double stroller. Lesson learned - I now have to configure the thing so Grayson gets his original seat and Luke gets the other one. Live and learn.

We took our first trip this past weekend. We packed both boys in the truck and headed into Amherst to visit my family. We finally broke down and bought a DVD player for the truck for the boys on long trips. Grayson watched "Finding Nemo" or, as he would say "Me-O" on the way to Mom's and loved it! Both boys did really well on the ride. They also gave us a treat by both having a really good night of sleep at Mom's house. Too bad that trend didn't last once we got home! But we saw most of my family while we were in Amherst which was great! My sister also took pictures of Grayson and Luke, some of which are posted on her blog (see The Jennings link to the right).
