Gig 'Em Aggies

Danny took Brayden to the Texas aTm Bowl game today at Reliant Stadium...I got a few pictures before the boys left.





And some pictures from the Bowl Game...The boys had a GREAT time!




 Mr. Joe
 Mr. Ed and Jake
 I love this genuine laugh picture- being silly with Daddy!
 Brayden came home and said "Mommy...the Aggie band was the best!"
And it was nap time, so both boys were out by the end of the 4th quarter and the dads carried them all the way to the metrorail and car!

Happy 1 Month Birthday, Trystan Grace




1 Month Stats:
Height: 21 3/4 inches
Weight: 8 lbs 5 oz (at 3 weeks)

Dear Trystan,
Your Mommy and Daddy are so proud of the little angel that you are!  You are growing each day and showing us new things each day.  It's hard to believe you've already been gifted to us for a month!  As I did with your brother, I hope to record the new things you do each month, the new words you say, and so much more! 

- Sleeping- You are sleeping very well in your cradle in Mommy and Daddy's room.  You like to take little cat naps in everyones arms and were VERY spoiled over Christmas with plenty of people to hold you.  You like to take a pacifier when going to sleep.

- Eating: You are eating every 1 1/2 to 2 hours.  Mommy is trying very hard to breastfeed you, but the doctor says we have to do formula bottles each feed when you are still hungry (about 4 times each day). 

- Clothes and Diapers: Wearing newborn clothes and newborn diapers

- Favorites: Your favorite things so far are to be snuggled and cuddled with. 

- Firsts: You have had MANY more firsts than your brother did at this age. 
11/29 1st non-family visitors- Mrs. Renata (neighbor) and Pastor Jeff at the hospital
12/1 1st sponge bath
12/2 1st time in bouncy seat- you don't love it as much as your brother did, just yet!
12/5 1st time in the infant swing- you loved it!

Harper Family Christmas

We hosted all of our family Christmases this year and loved it!  Everyone was kind enough to pack up and come over here so we didn't have to get Trystan out as much. 

My parents met us at church and then after lunch we opened their Christmas.  We missed my brother Blake more than ever, but were glad he and Josie got to spend time with her family.






 Happy Birthday Jessus cupcakes that Brayden decorated


 My Aunt Linda, Uncle Gerald, cousin Petria and Eric, Uncle James and Aunt Danna all finally got to meet Trystan. 
 Trystan is wearing her first smocked outfit from Gran









 The next morning we opened a few last gifts...
 

 Trystans first Baylor dress from Aunt Lauren ...and she didnt get anything Aggie yet!
