Bridger's 18 month pictures

My friend Laura Milne took Bridger's 18 month pictures for me. They turned out darling! I love having talented friends! She captured Bridger's smiles (and crusties) perfectly. I will treasure these pictures forever. You can see more of Laura's work at http://www.lauramilnephotography.com She is awesome!!

This is one of my favorites!

I brought his basketball and horses just to make him smile but they turned out to be great props!

He got offended somehow in this picture. Too cute!

Back to his happy old self!

This is his, "I'm an angel, Mommy, and I didn't do anything wrong" face.

Another one of my favorites. How will I ever choose which ones to print off and hang up?

I wanted a few pictures of me and Bridger. Too bad I had to be 10 months pregnant at the time.

Can I just say how much I love this kid?

More pictures of Graham

At the hospital Bridger got a Buzz Lightyear for becoming a big brother. He was excited!

We got the leave the hospital a day early since Graham and I were both healthy and doing fine. It was so nice to go home and not be in the hospital anymore!

Here's Jake packing Graham up in the car to go home.

What a cutie!

This is what a typical morning looks like at our house at about 7:30 am.

I had to hold Graham in the sun for a few days to get rid of his Jaundice.

We're trying to get Bridger to hold Graham in this picture. Could he look any less interested?

Graham Stanley Nielsen is here!

Graham Stanley was born on Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 12:34 pm. He weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 13 oz. (just 7 ounces bigger than Bridger was) and he was 19 inches long. He is adorable and we are in love with him! Here are some pictures we wanted to share:

Here he is just minutes after being born. He looks pretty chunky in this picture but he has chicken legs and tiny arms.

The proud parents. We feel so blessed to have two healthy boys.

My dad got to come visit on his lunch break and my mom brought Bridger over to meet his new baby brother. Bridger didn't know what to think but he was happy and thought the hospital was a fun place to play!

Jake and his new baby, Graham.

Here's our happy little family. I love Bridger's face in this picture! He's looking at Graham like, "What is that little thing and why is my mommy holding him?"

We're home from the hospital now and we're enjoying spending time together. Bridger finally acknowledges Graham and says "baby" when he sees him. He also likes when Graham has an outfit on that has a ball on it or a dinosaur. He thinks that's really cool! I'll post more pictures and updates soon!
