Big news!!!! I became a big brother on Thursday February 25th at 10:17 p.m. My little sister Brynn Elyse was born at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI; the same place where I was born and where Mommy works. She was a whopping 6lbs 15oz and was 19 inches long, which is a lot bigger than I was when I was born. Grandpa Larson was here from Minnesota, thankfully, so that he could stay with me and Mommy and Daddy could go to the hospital. Mommy and Daddy left for the hospital at 4:00 p.m. and she was born at 10:17 p.m. She came real quick. Daddy came home real early in the morning so when I woke up he would be here. I spent the morning with Daddy and then he went and spent the afternoon with Mommy and Brynn at the hospital. It was snowing and really cold outside so Daddy thought I should just stay home and play with Grandpa.
On Saturday, Mommy and Brynn came home from the hospital. I was a little mad at Mommy at first but I was quickly hugging and cuddling with her again. I was real excited to meet my new sister. I was hugging and kissing her immediately. Things are going well and we are all adjusting to the new addition.
Now back to what I've been up to. February 7th was Mommy's birthday. She worked the night before so she slept until lunch. We then went to my friend's birthday party at the Monroe Sports Complex. We got to have pizza and bounce. We spent a few hours going down inflatable slides and bouncing around. Here I am with Ethan, the birthday boy.
Bouncing and sliding.
After the party, we went home and Daddy made a big birthday dinner for Mommy. We watched the Superbowl and had birthday cake.
Making my Valentines box for school.
On Monday, February 8th, Mommy was 36 weeks. Daddy takes Mommy's belly picture every month. This time I wanted to show off my belly too!!
Pointing at our babies.
Kissing the baby.
The next night we made Valentines cookies. I had fun stirring and rolling out the dough.
On Valentines day we went to visit my babysitter Amy, her boyfriend, Justin, and their new baby Harrison. We had a nice time holding the baby and having pizza together.
Friday, February 19th, I came home from school sick. I had fallen off the bed the night before and bumped my lip and on Friday I wasn't feeling well. Mommy thought I might have a concussion but it turns out I had a really high fever and what they think was a virus. Mommy stayed home from work all weekend to help take care of me. I spent the whole time on the couch sleeping. Lots of Motrin and Tylenol for the next 5 days. I was out from school for over a week. Thankfully I was feeling better when Mommy had to go to the hospital to have my sister.
It's been so nice having Grandpa Larson here as well as Grandma Kris. They both got to spend some time with me at my school. We sure will miss them when they leave. I'll leave you with more pictures of my sister and sledding with Daddy and Grandpa.
I brought my sister her dolly. I felt she needed it.
Love and hugs,
Luke William (big brother)
