Newborn Pictures

We had our friend Becca Clary offer to take Spencer and Max's pictures and we whole heartily agreed!  Check out how adorable they turned out.  Spencer slept most of the time while Max was awake, which was opposite of what I thought.

Introducing Max Gordon Morrise

Max Gordon was born 9:56 a.m. weighing 7 lbs 13 oz, 19 1/2 inches long.  He had no complications in the hospital other than failing his hearing test the first time because of too much wax.  Other than that, as perfect as can be!

Right after coming home, Max spent his afternoon snuggling with daddy while watching General Conference

Max is named for Max Chatwin, a wonderful man who was Jacob's first home teaching companion and a great example to Jacob. He was also named for President Gordon B. Hinckley whose death brought us together, the story is written here.  Both men are wonderful examples of service to their fellow men and to their God, smart, hard working, and family oriented. 

Max takes a binki fairly well and is mostly likely to fall asleep anywhere.  And often brought his hands up while sleeping and left it in midair.  

Max is very loved by his older brothers and is actually very patient for when they come close to "love" him and his twin.

Max is so chill.  Honestly I feel bad because out of all of his brothers he needs the least attention so he doesn't get as much.  At least I'm aware of this and can hopefully compensate for it.

Everyone when looking at Spencer and Max, immediately points to Max and says, "This one looks like Steven." 

At 2 weeks: Max weighed 7 lbs 10 oz, was 20.7 inches long, and his head circumference was 35.7 cm.  Which put him in the 22% for weight, 62% for length, and 49% for head.  This means he hadn't gained back his birth weight yet, which concerned the doctor a little but after he heard how much he eats he felt better.  

Max is so good at tummy time, and rarely cries.  

Once again he's perfect!

Thanks for coming to our family Max!  

We Love You!

Introducing Spencer Wayne Morrise

Spencer Wayne was born 9:54 a.m. weighing 7 lbs 5 oz, and 19 1/2 inches long.  He is perfect.  There was no complications in the hospital and passed all of his tests with flying colors.  All the nurses kept telling us how lucky we were to get such handsome boys.  We agreed.

We came home from the hospital just in time to watch General Conference.

He is often more awake between the two, so much so that Steven would ask if "this is the wakey baby?"

 That being said, he is still such a good sleeper.  After two or three weeks he only wakes up once during the night to eat, and would probably sleep a lot longer but if I'm going to get up to feed his brother, he's getting fed as well.

 Spencer was named for President Thomas Spencer Monson. And for two of our favorite uncles:  Wayne Hall, and Wayne Balls (and really also his twin Garth).  All of these men are personable, service oriented, fun loving, and wonderful men of God that we hope Spencer will look to to model his life.

 He's such a good baby that even when I put him to bed he'll just lay there wake until he finally falls asleep.  Of the two he is does love his binky more, especially when going to sleep.  He is more "needy" meaning once a day during their awake time of hour intervals he cries to be held.  Which I fully oblige.

He is a champ at tummy time.  We've only done it a couple of times but each time he hasn't cried and already lifts his head from side to side.

At two weeks, he gained back all of his birth weight and then some coming in at 7 lbs and 8 oz and supposedly grew 2 inches to 21 1/2 inches.  And his head circumference is 36.7 cm.  This puts him in the 18% for weight, 90% for length, and 79% for head.

 He is such an angel baby and like I said rarely cries.  We couldn't ask for a better behaved more cute baby!

 Welcome to our crazy family Spencer!
