Happy Baby

I hope everyone reading this had a very merry Christmas. We certainly did. Very relaxed with lots of time to focus on Bryant.

You can see by these pics that Bryant is becoming better and better at finding his smile. Most of the credit however belongs to Mom. Last week Amy gave up dairy products in an attempt to help relieve some of Bryant's "tummy troubles." Dr. Bailey suggested this to help reduce the amount of gas he has. So far, it has made for a much happier baby. But you have to realize that giving up dairy means no chocolate, cheese, or pretty much anything else that actually tastes good over the holidays. This is no small sacrifice considering we usually launch an all out assault on our arteries by cramming whatever we want down our throats in the name of holiday gluttony. So being the supportive dad and husband that I am, I have been eating twice the chocolate, cheese, tums, etc. to help Amy cope. Everyone has to make sacrifices.

So in closing, please give Amy a virtual pat on the back and then eat an extra piece of fudge in her honor.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!!!

Something New

Well, we are taking an avenue inspired by the great Reverend Jeffrey James, and Doctor Necia Davis in starting this blog to help keep people up to date with our new little "Punkin." OK, so Jeff doesn't go by Reverend (and hopefully never will) and Necia isn't really a Doctor...yet, but we are inspired by their blogifacating desires. Yes, if you plan to read this on a regular basis, your mind will have to become familiar with many new words which may or may not be words at all, not to mention the run-on/run-off/run-around sentences.

Now, getting down to business and to the point, let us talk about this so-called Punkin. Bryant Chase Davis was born on October 26th at 6 pounds, 4 ounces, 20 inches, and life hasn't been the same since. People warn you about all kinds of things when you are expecting a new member to the family. Late nights, 12 feedings a day, crying, nasty diapers, cluttering toys, crying, spitting up, are just a few of the things we have been diagnosed with as new parents. On top of that, the baby also needs to be fed often, cries sometimes, and poops a lot!

However, through all of life's little interuptions that plague us on a daily basis now that we are a family of three, I can't imagine life without Bryant. He is the best thing that has ever happened to us. I can't possibly find, or even make up, the words to describe how much we love him. We thank God every day that He has blessed us with our beautiful baby boy.
