More Pictures from the Bryner's Visit

About a week after Beau was born, Annette and Brent came to visit for about 10 days! It was soooo great to have their help, especially with Logan and Dane. Tamsin and Emma were also still visiting us so we had lots of help! I felt so spoiled...it was VERY nice!

While they were here we mainly stayed home, but for a fun outing we went to the McCormick Train Park. The boys and Emma loved it and it was nice for me to get out too...I was getting major cabin fever!

Thank you soooo much Annette, Brent, and Tamsin for all of your help! We love and appreciate you very much!

Some of Baby Beau's Firsts

First nap on the couch

First time meeting some of his Rasmussen side cousins (the Ropers)

Not the first time loving his daddy, but one of the first special daddy moments captured in a picture

First outing was to his pediatrician's office (Dr. Allred) for his first Well Check visit when he was 2 days old with his mommy and daddy. Everything was great and he had no signs of jaundice and he only lost a little bit of weight (he weighed 6lbs 12oz). His second outing was to get his PKU foot prick (his foot is out and ready to go in the picture above) with his mommy and Aunt Julie. He took it like a champ and seemed to enjoy being out and about a bit.

First sleepover with his Aunt Ju! Julie came for a few days to meet baby Beau and to help out. She was VERY nice to take the night shift with Beau for 4 nights!!! It was soooo amazing to be able to sleep soundly for 4 nights...it was much needed! Thank you so much Ju for all of your help!

Baby Beau misses you:)

First walk with Aunt Tamsin, Emma, mommy, daddy, Logan, and Dane

First and ONLY circumcision. Logan and Dane had theirs' done in the hospital, but since we were only in the hospital for 24 hours, the doctors thought that he was too little to do it there and wanted us to get it done in office. So, 7 days after his birth, we (Beau with mommy and Aunt Ju) went back to Dr. Allred's office for his circumcision. This time he weighed 7lbs 5oz, which was a great indication that he is tolerating his formula and doing very well! As far as the circumcision went, I chose to not be in the room while they did it (I didn't think I could handle it) and everything went really well, but he definitely had a very high pitch, heart breaking cry when they brought him back to me:( However, he recovered very quickly and all is well again.

First Grandma and Grandpa Bryner visit! The Bryners will be here for 10 days and Tamsin and Emma have been here since the day before Beau was born! So, we have A LOT of help and feel very loved and spoiled! Thank you soooo much for all of the help we really love and appreciate all of you and all that you have done for us!

First backyard pool party (that he spent very covered up in the shade). Aunt Bonnie and her friend Paula came to visit as well!

First backyard fire pit cook out (was again spent very covered up and away from the smoke next to Grandma). He loves to be outside!

First "Tummy Time"

First Tubby, which he absolutely LOVED!

We are loving experiencing all of Beau's firsts and are looking forward to many more to come! He is such a sweet little newborn and we are so happy that he is here and in our family for eternity:)

No Training Wheels!

Yesterday, Logan was determined to ride his "big boy bike with a clock and an engine" with NO training wheels and that is exactly what he did! He did in the first try! He still needs to work on starting on his own, but I am sure he will get it very soon. It was so fun to watch how proud of himself he was and that he can do anything that he puts his mind to. My baby is growing up...before I know it he will be off to college:)
