We are home

We made it home last Friday and have been going to appointments like crazy. Dane managed to get everyone sick while we were at the hospital, even me. I came home only to go to Urgent Care the next day because of Bronchitis. Jacob has had major allergy problems and we just took Dane to the doctor today and he had to get some antibiotics and steroids too. We got hit with a double whammy right off the bat. Brynna is doing very well. By the time we left the hospital she weighed 8.6 and when the home follow up nurse came yesterday she still weighed the same so we are able to let her sleep till her heart is content at night. She seems to go about 5 hours which is so appreciated. So far Brynna and Dane could not be more opposite. Brynna is so calm, laid back, and such a good sleeper. We have already been out and about a couple different times with her. I didn't take Dane out to the grocery store for like 3 months.

Dane is having a difficult time adjusting but that is to be expected. Every day we seem to get a little closer and closer to him accepting her. The first day we brought her home he would scream bloody murder if she was even in his view. Now he is more curious about her and will touch her. The hardest part is that he is into his tantrums phase and this just put him into it full swing. Every little thing is the end of the world and there is no shortness of screaming going on in our house at anytime. It doesn't help that we are all sick too.  Never the less it is so good to be home and it is so nice to be together as a family. Jacob is off with us until the 15th of June so I couldn't be more fortunate to have such a great helper here.

Belated Bryanna Announcement

Well since I published the pictures first better late than never. 

Tonya gave birth to Brynna Marie Sapp on 5-24-11 at 7:51 A.M.  Not so little Brynna came in at 9 lbs 5 oz and 20.25 inches.  As you can see from the pictures she has lots of dark hair but not as much as Dane had when he was born.  She also seems to have what appear to be frosted tips/highlights in her hair but you probably can't see that in the photos.

Here are is the tale of the tape:
Dane 8 lbs 4 oz
Brynna 9 lbs 5 oz

Dane 21 inches
Brynna 20.25 inches

Dane=More Hair
Brynna=Less Hair

Winner=Us!!!

We are more than blessed to have a little baby girl to add to the collection.  More to follow.

-Jake

Brynnas Nursery






18 months old

Dane is finally starting to talk these days. He is now able to say milk, baby, daddy, mommy, thank you, video, cheese, please, read, and his absolute favorite words dog and uh oh. He is also starting to understand us to the point that we can have him get things for us around the house or do certain small tasks. He has even started climbing up into his own car seat. I would say that is just perfect timing since Brynna will be here soon. His favorite task is closing everything up. He likes to make sure all the cabinets and doors are closed.

Lately we have been busy playing outside and hanging out with our closest friends since I am not really able to walk far or chase him around very well. This is just fine with him because he could play in water or push his bubble mower all day long. We haven't done many things at the YMCA or the library lately but we will get back to it very soon. He loves to read so if his daddy is up, he is reading. I read to him every night but for some reason he wants Jacob reading to him all the time. He also likes watching Sid the Science Kid and Word World. I really do my best to limit his tv intake but he really enjoys watching those shows when we are in the basement waiting on Jacob to wake up in the morning.

He is still being super picky about what he will eat. He loves cheese and crackers and everything else is pretty much up for debate on a daily basis. I have to admit I am beyond frustrated with my lack of options. I keep trying to work in more fruits and vegetables but at this point he is still not eating meat either.
