baby ensign: 9 weeks

We had lots happen this week! We flew to New Orleans (His first flight!) and he was such a very good boy! He slept the entire way on both flights. I carried him in his baby Bjorn, and he was as happy as could be! he FINALLY got to meet his Granny, PawPaw, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Charbo, YaYa (Auntie Amanda), Auntie Sommer, Uncle KP, and cousins Ricky Ann & Samantha! We had such a great time spending a week with them! He laughed for the first time with Aunt Charbo & Amanda! I didn't get to hear it...but I heard all about it! He then laughed for the 2nd time with me. It was so neat! AND he started smiling for real! I caught it on camera...again with Aunt Charbo. He sure does love her!

We then flew to Houston and met Daddy at the airport. He was SO excited to see Barret after a week. Neither of us realized how much more we miss the other now that we have Barret. He has made us a family of our own. We met Daddy at his gate, and he came up and scooped Barret up for some much needed hugs and kisses!

Then we took Barret on his first trip to the lake for July 4th! He got to meet his Grana (my mom) and Seth for the first time! As well as his great Granny, MawMaw, & PawPaw ...along with lots of friends and family. We had a great time. Next year, he will be running around at the lake! I can only imagine how fun that will be!

Barret & Audrey (Our friends Randy & Amanda's baby girl) were due 3 days apart. They were both born 3 weeks early on the same DAY! Audrey was born a few hours earlier and was only 2 oz. larger than Barret. We were all amazed at how BIG Barret is compared to Audrey. She is 11 lbs. and he is 15!!!! She is a beautiful, healthy little girl. He is just such a big man compared to her!
