Harvick & Jarrett . 8 Weeks

8 weeks old
12 pounds, 8 ounces (Harvick)
12 pounds, 3 ounces (Jarrett)

(Compare to Ryder at 8 Weeks)

Wow!  The obvious news from this week was Harvick's broken leg (see 3 posts ago).  He is continuing to do well!  Harvick was on Lortab for 2 full days, and has already been moved to just Tylenol in the day, and one dose of Lortab before bed.  Obviously, he is much more like "himself" when he is not so heavily drugged - and, he seems to be comfortable with just the Tylenol.  Jarrett, fortunately, is a pretty easy going baby, which has been especially nice since Harvick takes a bit of extra attention right now.

Both boys started smiling quite purposefully in the last week, although, I have a harder time capturing Harvick's smile on camera.  So - this post has a few extra pictures, because I love all the smiles!!!

Both boys were wide awake one minute, and asleep the next.

A great smile, while wearing one of my FAVORITE shirts from Ryder.

Another great smile, wearing another favorite shirt!

Laying side by side is harder now . . . so, we tried out a different way.

Smiling!

A bit of a drugged smile.

Taking a cat nap after the 5:00am feeding . . . Ryder used to sleep just like this!

Both boys have such strong necks that they can already sit in the Bumbo for short periods of time.  Harvick (pre-harness) isn't so sure of it, but Jarrett seems to enjoy sitting in it.

Patrick has a 4-day weekend for the holiday, so we are looking forward to spending lots of time together as a family this weekend!
