As many of you have heard, we welcomed Brennan Carl into our family on Monday, January 31, 2011. At 39 weeks, he came in at 8 lbs, 5 oz (just shy of Hayden's weight) and 21 inches long! After a couple days in the army hospital, we all came home to Oma and Opa Fulton, Bubba and Kiki Regan (who were serendipitously stranded in CA thanks to the snow), Auntie Ali, and big brother Hayden!
Although he looks like Hayden did as a newborn (Hayden vs Brennan, on the right), they already have different personalities. While Hayden is independent, Brennan is certainly a high maintenance baby and can't stand it if he's not being held. Not a problem since we love holding our youngest son... unless of course it's 3am and we're trying to sleep ;)
Hayden has been loving the big brother experience so far. There was one late-night feeding where Hayden burst into our room to sleepily glare and request we keep the baby quiet, but otherwise he's been exceptional! He's very excited to start playing games with Brennan and begin teaching him everything he knows. For whatever reason, Hayden has taken to wetting and combing his hair into crazy styles and apparently couldn't wait to pass this hobby on to Brennan...
Thank you to everyone for all the well wishes and kind words these past couple of weeks! We'll be sure to keep everyone updated, but hope to introduce Brennan to everyone sometime soon.
