After a 14 month struggle with infertility, God answered our prayers, and I was pregnant with a sweet baby boy! His name is James Barry Tisdale and we call him JB after two very special men: my G-daddy JB and my Uncle Barry.
JB is a true joy, born to us on January 29 at 8:14 am while a blizzard was occurring in central and north Alabama. We were worried for a little bit that his birth was going to be postponed, but, thankfully, that didn't happen. He was a whopping 6 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches with a head full of dark hair! His big brother was 8 lbs 3 oz and 20.5 inches and had a few sparse blonde hairs, so, needless to say, we were shocked!
I am so grateful for our sweet family of four. Being a mom of two boys is a blast! Juju made his sweet going home outfit.
JB is now two months old. Here are a couple of John Brown pictures to catch everyone up.

A comparison of the boys at two months
At two months, JB weighs 11 lbs 1 oz and is 22 inches long. He drinks 21-22 ounces a day. (Silas was 13 lbs 9 oz and 24.5 inches long. He drank 34.5 ounces a day!) JB is our tiny mite in the 11th and 17th percentiles. (Although, every where we go people comment how big he is! Weird!) He loves to smile, talk, and coo. He rolled over from stomach to back at 4 weeks old and hasn't slowed down since. He is also awesome at spitting up. Yuck! JB is a great night sleeper as he already sleeps through the night eating his last bottle between 8-9 pm and not eating again until 7 am. He isn't a great napper, preferring cat naps, but has gotten better at taking a long morning nap as long as it is in the swing. (Silas also hated the swing. Can we say opposites?!) Being JB's mommy has been a total blessing.
Silas loves being a big brother as he prayed fervently for a baby brother and sister. He loves to help with JB, hold him, and love on him. Daddy even pays him a quarter every time he sticks the paci back in JB's mouth after it falls out. Ha! Si did ask to send him back one time. JB had three terribly colicky weeks. One night in the car JB was constantly scream crying. Silas started crying asking to send him back to God because babies were too loud. Now, Si says that even though he doesn't like babies because they are too loud, he is ready for MaryLawson! I told him he would have to wait until JB got a little bigger.
That's it for a short update. Hopefully, I will be back again soon!
