New Nephew: Nicholas Lamar Harding Breshears

Nicholas Lamar Harding Breshears "Nico" was born on August 5, 2009. He weighed 8lbs 2 oz, 19 1/2 inches long. He has light brown hair (the same as Lamar & Miles).

Lamar & Nico meeting for the first time. Nico must have been in a hurry to get here, so Lamar didn't quite make it to the hospital in time for his birth. Lamar is currently training with his guys at Camp Pendleton in So. Calif. They leave the 1st of Nov. for Afghanistan (Lamar's 3rd tour over there--though the others were to Iraq), so they have been busy with preparations. He did his best to get back to Salt Lake, but Nico was quick in his arrival! He has to return Sunday and is grateful to have a few days to spend with Sarah and the boys.
Lamar said: Miles is thrilled to have a little brother. He calls Nicholas "baby brother" or "baby Nico". We've caught him several times trying to wake him up so that they can "play".
Lamar told me that his only worry is that Miles is a little too excited to "play" with and hold Nicholas and that they plan to keep a close eye out so that he doesn't try to "sooth" the baby when he cries (by trying to get him out of the crib/bassinet).
You really do forget how little they are when they are first born!
Lamar said he sleeps a lot! And makes little squeaky noises if he needs something. When he's really hungry, he said Nico just squeaks even louder.
"Are you my mother?" (Just kidding... I love that book!)
So cute! I know Lamar will miss the first few months with Nicholas, since he and Miles have always had such a close bond. But I'm sure Sarah will do a good job balancing the boys while he is away. According to Lamar, everything went very well with labor and delivery and baby Nico and big brother Miles are doing excellent. Congratulations you guys! Hopefully, we'll get to see you in October for Nico's blessing!

He is so cute! He really does look much different from Miles...he seems to have more of Lamar's features....but maybe it's just the nose...Miles has Sarah's nose and Nicholas has Lamar's. Anyway, he is adorable...I wish Lamar's blog let you comment...then I could comment on there, too!
