The Olson Family: Brandon is 2 months old:-)

Brandon is 2 months old. It is amazing how much faster time goes by once they are born. Brandon had his 2 month check up at the Dr. today. Since Mike is in Chicago for work, Mike's dad visiting Eric (Mike's brother) in Utah and my Mom is in Alabama visiting family, I was out of babysitting options. So, I took all the kids with me except for Adriauna who was at school. You never really get used to your tiny little baby getting shots at the Dr. office for the first time no matter how many kids you have. It is so sad:-( Everyone was really good up until that point. Brooke started crying when Brandon got his shot. I am sure she felt bad but she wanted me to comfort her and I really needed to comfort him. So, he had to share the comforting with his older sister.

Anyway, Brandon is doing really well and gaining the right amount of weight and all that. He is in the 50 percentile on weight and length. He is smiling and babbling a lot now and it is so much fun. He sleeps between 4-6 hours at a time at night and I am getting good sleep. The kids, especially Brooke absolutely adore him. I am so amazed how much he looks like Ethan did when he was a baby. I look at pictures and some of them I would not be able to tell apart if I did not have dates on the back of the picture. I am really looking forward to the weeks ahead watching Brandon change and grow but I am also just enjoying being able to cuddle him in my arms while he is not as mobile as he will become in the next few months.
