Brynach is our Little Dude. Born just 7 short weeks ago. He is, by far, the noisiest of the bunch... and the most needy. Especially today. The mama of the house got a whopping 3 hours of sleep last night thanks to his royal fussiness. And today has not been promising in the nap department. Thank goodness DH took the day off. Too bad he thinks he did it for car repairing projects.
:P
Bryn is our precious gift. Yes, even after a measly 3 hours of sleep I can still say that and actually mean it. We didn't think our family would ever reach 6 children, and the fact that it did is such a blessing. He has already stolen all of our hearts, and now repays our drooling attentiveness with drools of his own. Cooing and occasionally even smiling, he is constantly the center of attention.
So much a part of the family, he has already been incorporated into the games of Little Love and Little Boo. The other day as I folded laundry, the girls decided Bryn and I were aliens and they needed to "kidnap" the alien baby. I was to walk over to his "happy chair" (as they call it) and "discover" he was missing. As I did so, they ran away from behind the couch, giggling. I walked back to my laundry... only to discover Bryn tucked into one of the laundry baskets, perfectly cozy and content. An unwitting playmate in their game.
Of course, he is simply beautiful. I love his tender face, his half-drunk milk-drooly smile as he nurses. His deep blue eyes seem so serious as he takes in his surroundings and processes what it all must mean.
And I want him to understand... it means you are loved, littlest one.
So much loved.
It fills us all to the bursting.

When you have a handful of siblings, you need to make yourself known. Sounds like he is doing just that.
((((HUGS))))) to the mama without sleep. If you need some good facial products and makeup to give you that fresh face ... I would be happy to oblige! I've got a man with connections ;)
This post has everything good about parenting a newborn baby. Focus on those milk-droopy eyes, 'Meg! I can truly say--and you KNOW this already--that it goes so fast.
Have a beautiful day, week, rest-of-Advent, Christmas! (It's starting to get crazy-busy 'round here...don't know when I'll be back for a visit.)
PS. Tell that beautiful, fun-loving bunch of yours that Mrs. B. says hi and that it's currently 10 degrees up here!
He is just adorable. I love his unique name. Love your family loving on him.
Oh, Meg, what a sweet and lovely post. I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant. It will never happen again for me, of course, but it was sweet to remember those days of giddy new love.
Hugs to you.
