Month #1 of the Lesnet Family of Four

Eli, who has been nicknamed Bubba by Kai has now been with us for nearly 3 weeks and we are getting settled in to our new reality.  Adding a child to our already hectic lives has been a huge adjustment as having 2 boys to take care of is more than twice as much work.
At this point, Eli will only sleep at night when he is being held by either mommy or daddy.  We are tired but know that we need to enjoy this time as there will come a time where he won't want to be held any more.

Here is the Lesnet family of 4 getting ready to leave the hospital for the real world.  Kai was so excited to have someone to ride in the back seat with him that we couldn't get him to sit still for a picture.

Bubba was born during some incredible weather here in Central Indiana.  Check him out soaking up some rays!

Although Stephanie and I are still trying to get the hang of this new family structure, Kai is having no trouble with it at all.  He is completely in love with his little brother and always wants to know where he is at all times.

Here is Kai doing the piggies with Eli.  I love this picture!

Bubba has had a pretty action packed 3 weeks as he has had visitors every weekend.  When Aunt Jessica came to visit, we took a lot of pictures in hopes of getting some good ones to use in Eli's baby announcement.  Here are a few pictures of Bubba during that photo shoot.

I call this one "Blue Steel"

This one is "Ferrari"

Here is the ultimate.  He has already mastered "Magnum"

Hey!  Eli says "Boiler Up!!"

Kai's favorite TV show is Micky Mouse Clubhouse and here he is holding Bubba and watching some Mickey Mouse.  Eli didn't seem quite as in to the program as Kai.

One morning, we let Kai pick out Bubba's outfit.  He was already wearing his new monkey outfit that the Lesnet grandparents got him and was excited to see this monkey outfit in Bubba's dresser.  Once Eli was all dressed and ready Kai wanted us to take a picture of them in their monkey shirts.

In addition to visitors, Bubba has already made trips to such fun places as the pediatrician, the playground, a couple of restaurants, and the Indianapolis Zoo for Zoo Boo.

This year we once again went to the Indianapolis Zoo Boo at the Zoo with Master P, Special K and their parents.  The Lesnet boys are both dressed up as cows and I'm a farmer / Detroit Tigers fan.

I think I rock that DeKalb hat like a natural, don't you?

Master P the angler.

Special K is cute but too cool for a costume.  I hear that she will follow in big bro's footsteps and be a Land Shark on Halloween though.
