Question One: How is it having two?
My answer: A little harder, but so much fun! Right now the baby sleeps a lot so it makes it easier to meet Logan's needs a little better. I'm sure once Ryan is a little more active I may have a different answer. One thing I can say is that Logan LOVES his brother. He will "hang out" with him in any way that I can make it happen. Yesterday was the first time we took Ryan into school with us and he was very proud to show him off... though not so happy when he realized I was taking Ryan home. He wanted us to stay at school with him which I thought was quite sweet. Below are some pictures of what I get to see a lot of during my day.
Logan loves for me to put the boppy on the floor so they can "watch tv together"
Another thing we saw in every picture when Logan was a baby...
Dylan, always very close by!
Some things never change and I love it!
And this happens numerous times a day...
Logan is never as happy as when he gets to "hold" baby Ryan
I just LOVE this one.
Logan is talking to Ryan and he seems to just be adoring his older brother!
What a precious face, huh?

Question Two: Does the baby look like Logan?
My answer: Almost identical to what Logan looked like as a baby. If the person is here when they ask that question, I show them a picture of Logan and ask them to answer their own question, in which I always get a resounding, "Oh my, they're almost identical!" So, for online purposes, let me give you these pictures to compare.

In this last one, you may notice one difference. Logan's head was MUCH bigger around. At birth, his head measured 16 in (which is huge) and Ryan's was only 14 in. I think the picture at one week shows that Ryan's is smaller.
Now, when their eyes are open I think they look a bit different. Ryan makes some facial expressions that Logan never made and I think the roundness of Logan's face (which comes with the bigger head) makes his eyes look very different when they are open. They do still look very much alike though!!!
Life with two has been great!
I cannot believe Ryan is two weeks old already, but I can honestly say that we have truly been enjoying him as an addition to our family. It's funny to think that things are complete now... we are a family of four... and I feel very fulfilled with what God has blessed us with. How could I have this sweet toe-headed toddler and healthy baby boy and not feel so grateful to our Lord! I don't know what I did to deserve such blessings, but I humbly and graciously accept them! :-)
And now, just for some laughter...
this is what Logan's hair looks like when I spray it down in the morning before I get the comb to it. He loves to look at this "crazy hair" in the mirror and I'm sure he sometimes wishes I wouldn't bother with the comb!

You are absolutely right! They do look exactly alike. I love it! My boys call their hair "crazy hair" too in the mornings. Hudson even has a dinosaur hair do (mohawk) before it gets combed. Harrison must ALWAYS have it combed and in place before school and church, but I think Hudson wouldn't mind a bit if we left his crazy hair in place all the time. So glad you are enjoying your time with your babies. You are a wonderful mama. I love you! Heather
