Introducing the Other Brother

Once upon a time, Marcus had another son.  Not BB, another one.  Here he is. 

He is about 17 months old making him 8 months older than Isaiah.  Which means he was born shortly after I got knocked up. 

Marcus & I started dating a few months after he was conceived.  I knew about him before I made the decision to be his girlfriend.  I've never mentioned him on here because it wasn't until he turned one that Marcus told his parents about him. 

We'll call him MB for middle brother.  Because BB says, "I'm the older bruder, Isaiah's the younger bruder & ______ is the middle bruder, right Jewels?"  Yes he is.  And when we take pictures, he will say, "This is half of our family, right Jewels?"  He is very protective of his family.

Now everything is good, well as good as it can be.  I'm sure each of the players have their own issues, but we are all coping with them.  And at least everyone has MB's interest at heart. 

He lives moderately close to Nana & Papa's (my new roomies) so his mom drops him off almost every Sunday.  This past weekend he got to hang out for the whole weekend.

Turns out having a 17 month old, a 9 month old, & a 6 year old (plus the 3 cousins) can be quite the handful.

Marcus & I were exhausted at the end.  And I couldn't even think about working the whole weekend.  So I'm so glad I got the important things done on Friday. 

Saturday night MB couldn't go to sleep, and well, Isaiah isn't the fastest to go down either these days.  So the two brothers played in bed with me & Marcus for a few hours into the night. 

Before that we went to the Bass Pro Shop & I got to show Isaiah the fishies for the first time.

They were both pretty fascinated.  With the fishies & each other.

We tried for a second to get a picture with the boys.  It was not happening.

Isaiah was kindof being a whiny baby.  But I managed to capture some cuteness. 

And he lightened up when I gave him stuff to play with.

That was a good trick.
