-You were delivered by Dr. Brady Locke at Midland Memorial Hospital in Midland, Texas on October 14th at 6:22p.m. weighing 9 lbs. 10 oz. and were 21 1/2 inches long.
-I took you to the doctor a week ago and you're up to 10lbs. 10oz. Way to go!
-Your middle name is very special. Daddy had a friend named Brynn Joel Naylor. He was a hero. He was a soldier in Iraq and gave his life for his country and for our freedom about three years ago. We owe him so much and wanted to honor him by naming you after him.
-You have given me the privilege of nursing you and it is some of my favorite times with you. (Oh no. I'm getting all weepy.) Although it hasn't always been easy, the bond between us is unlike anything I have ever experienced so it is absolutely worth it.
-Because you were so big, you lost over a pound in a few days so I had to give you formula after you would drink my milk. We've been able to get off of it for the most part but sometimes you're just hungry.
-You HATE getting your diaper changed. You cry this awful cry like it's coming from the depths of your little soul. It kills me.
-I've tried to explain to you that baths are a necessary evil but I don't think you're convinced. But, Daddy gave you a bath last night and you didn't cry at all. Maybe you do get it after all.
-Your Tia Melissa keeps you while I work and I miss you like crazy but you are good for her and things are going well. Your cousin Samantha likes to hold your hand when you lay on the bed together.
-Some nights you sleep for 5 or 6 hours and other nights you are up every two hours. No rhyme or reason.
-You were dedicated by Pops at First Baptist Church, Roswell on October 31st. It was a precious time that I will never forget. Although I don't think you were impressed because you yawned three times.
-You sure love your Daddy. He can make you smile so big. I love watching you two together.
-You've started making some noises. I'll hold you close and you'll make cooing noises. This usually happens after I feed you and I'm convinced you're saying "Thank you". You already have such good manners!
-You're already wearing 3 months clothes. Slow down!
-Your Momo was able to come to Roswell when we were there for your baby dedication. She is so sweet with you and just loved all over you.
-Grammy and I were able to take you to Amarillo to meet your Great Grandmommy. She loves you, kiddo! She would sit and talk to you all day long. She sang you songs and just loved on you. I fear that she'll be in Heaven before you get a chance to really know her. She's an amazing woman. If you have a sister, she'll be named after her.
We can't imagine life without you, Austin Brynn.
