2 Weeks

 Josh is 2 weeks old and we officially survived our first 2 weeks as a family of 5.  The first week at home was great with my Dad and Loretta here and then Abby, Ross and Ava for the weekend.  This last week was a little less easy as we have a break in company before Matt's parents and my mom come, and both Alec and Charlie have been totally sick.  Luckily Josh hasn't seemed to show signs of catching it yet, but Matt came down with it last night, so it doesn't look like we are in the clear yet.  Certainly hoping that next week we can all return to some kind of normalcy and routine.  Aside from being sick, we are all doing well and enjoying Josh.  He has been a sweet baby, and the boys are both doing well as big brothers.  Here are a few pics.   
 Charlie is all over all of the baby toys, especially the bouncy seats, which we can't put Josh in if Charlie is around b/c Charlie climbs in and sits on top of him.  This obviously started at he hospital.

 Dads and their babes
 Charlie loves holding Josh, although is chances have been limited since he has been sick.  After Matt picked Josh up Charlie followed him around signing more and pointing to the baby.  Pretty cute

I can't believe how cute these boys are. And Charlie with the nose syringe made me laugh out loud. Happy to see you found a free minute to post, and hope everyone is finally on the mend.

I am grateful also for the time you took to post. Love seeing how the boys are growing. Josh looks the perfect addition to your handsome family. Is Charlie in the babies bed at the hospital?

The pictures with Charlie and Josh are cracking me up. Charlie looks positively ginormous and you can tell he just loves that baby! I am so glad to hear that things are going well! I hope that everyone can get healthy soon.
