Susie Grace turns 2 weeks old!

We think Susie Grace is getting more and more beautiful each day.
No joke, the first book Jonathan pulled out of the bookshelf after being home. It was cute initially but his criticism of the way we are taking care of his sister is getting old. He reads a book and now he thinks he is an expert.
Joking aside, Jonathan has turned out to be a great big brother.
Yesterday, Jonathan gave Susie Grace kisses on her hand
Susie Grace's first bath. Either it is just the lighting from the camera or his daughter is already giving Dad gray hairs.

Only big brothers get to play with pudding on the deck
With 2 children Dad gets to dress Jonathan more often. The result: The Central Virginia look which includes hat to cover the mullet, beater, camo shorts and Nike Air Force 1 baby shoes.

Susie Grace Come Home

First trip in the car seat coming home from the hospital.
Mommy and daddy forgot the socks, such is the life of the middle child.
Susie (above) looks just like her brother Jonathan (below) on her coming home day.

Jonathan welcoming Susie home.
Gibbs welcoming Susie the only way that she knows how. Jonathan is making sure the carseat buckle is in good working condition.
The sleeping beauty
If you look quickly at the next two pictures, it looks like we are dancing.

In an effort to divert attention back to himself, Jonathan takes to banging his drum. Thankfully Susie slept through it all. I am sure when she is older she will more fully appreciate her brother's talents.

Jonathan's Walking Adventures

Jonathan watching mom coach lacrosse (you can see her in the background of the 1st picture if you look closely just above the cracker)

Jonathan's trip to Monticello.It was so nice of Harrison to let Jonathan play with his new chainsaw. Jonathan cut a pretty straight log (don't worry grandma's he wore boots and chainsaw pants)

It was weird, he wouldn't walk with his JMU outfit or his W&L shirt, but he started walking when we put him in a VMI shirt and camo shorts (thanks Uncle Nick).

Action videos of the walking.
