Abran likes to get into Brandt's car seat. It has been hard keeping him out of the bouncy seat and the baby swing as well. He's gonna break something being 33 lbs.

Guy Time



Today was so fun for Abran. Uncle Dave came up and he and Uncle Sam took Abran hiking up to a cave in the mouth of Logan Canyon. They needed some quality "guy time". Abran hiked most of the way and did awesome. He ran all the way through the cave and his uncles said that he didn't trip once over the rocky terrain. Thanks Uncle Sam and Uncle Dave! In the meantime mom and dad got some good packing done.

Welcome Home Brandt!

So here he is! Brandt Raul Soto was 8 lbs 7 oz and 20.5" long. He was born March 28th at 9:31 am via C Section. He is perfectly healthy and we're so relieved (especially me)to have him here now. These are a few of the pics I took in the hospital with my phone. We'll be posting more obviously. Hopefully soon. Abran is so excited to have a little brother and loves him to death. He always wants to hold him and give him kisses. The surgery itself went terrific and recovery is going well also. I feel like I've been bouncing back a lot quicker. Margarita has been kind enough to help us out and after having her here for a week and a half...I don't know what we're going to do without her now. Its been so nice to have that extra set of hands. We are also in the process of moving. We will officially be out in 2 1/2 weeks. Its a whirl wind around here...but all is good stuff. We feel really blessed.
