Loving my boys!

Here we are on a hike this weekend, all together! We found a great nature reserve (Shaw Park off 44) that has gardens, hiking, prairies, creeks and swamps. Good for me to get out. It was a beautiful fall day.
Bryson enjoyed it! I love how this picture captures his personality- so full of life and energy!



And my sweet baby is growing! He weighed in at 8 lb 14 oz today!



I am thankful that nursing is going well. I have learned much in this area. I have to be careful what I eat (no onions, cabbage, spicy food) and take care of myself so I can produce enough milk. And it's a great excuse to delve into those carbs! I have also found this product to be helpful. It is soothing and comfortable and can be worn at night instead of a nursing bra.

Oh wow! He is gaining weight! Does nursing come easier the second time around? I've gotten the hang of it now, but it seemed to take us a little while.

Kristin- Yes, nursing definitely came easier the second time around. My milk came in faster too. congratulations on getting the hang of it... it is a big commitment but so worthwhile!

Glad you got to get out for a while, that seemed to help so much, just getting some fresh air...also helps wear the toddlers out too. ;)
Hope you are having a good week with Caleb home!

This is the first time I've gotten to see Silas. He is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Aunt Evelyn keeps me up to date on everyone and everything. I just don't do the blogspots very often.
Prayers and best wishes to all four of you!
