Baby Brayden

Gosh, it has been 2 1/2 weeks already since Brayden has been born. I have to apologize for not updating sooner, but here is an update about him and, of course, Sharles. 

Brayden Mangrum Dyer was born on Thursday, July 24 at 3:03pm. He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 19 in long. He and mama were both healthy and still remain healthy! I will spare you all the birth details, but he is already up to 9 lbs 4 oz and has grown 2 inches in 2 weeks! Whoa! He's a big boy! He already sleeps good at night and rarely ever fusses. We have definately been blessed with 2 great children! 

There is no significance with his first name, but his middle name is my (Brittany) original last name. I was adopted by my grandparents and changed my name, so I wanted to use my original last name, so it could be carried on in some way! 

Sharles is a great big sister! She loves to give her brother kisses, and she loves for him to lay next to her while we read her story at nap and bedtime. She also loves to hold her brother's hand when we pray. She has adjusted quite well to having a sibling! We are so proud of her! 

We are so in love with our sweet little boy and wanted to share our joy with you. Here are several pictures that have been taken over the last 2 weeks too! 

From our family pictures we had made. 

Auntie K has been a huge help to us as we have adjusted going from 1 child to 2! 

She loves to hold him, and, I promise, he usually loves it too! 

Meme and Honey came to visit. 

Morning snuggles. 

Hanging out while sister swims. 

Doing push-ups with daddy. 

2 weeks old! 

A visit from his cousins. 

A smile! 

Even when she swims she loves to play with her brother! 

Ready to cheer on the vols this year! 

I know you can't see Brayden, but this was our trip to church with a friend!
