Hungry Man

Since the day he was born, Brycen has had an insatiable appetite. Which aside from the mother/son bond you often hear about, I knew he and I would get along great so long as he didn't try and steal my plate of food. I can still remember the day he was born and how quickly he latched on and how next to impossible it was to get him to stop eating! Not much has changed in the eating department. He no longer breastfeeds but at every meal time, he is the first one at the table and the last one to leave. I often times joke that Skylar is so skinny because Brycen waits till she's not looking to steal some of her food.

It's because of this hearty appetite that we've given him nicknames such as chunk, tugboat, squishy, and bubba. I know "bubba" doesn't really fit in with the other chubby names but for me, it has a much better ring to it when you see this blond-haired, blue-eyed, tank come running up to you! It's funny because Matthew and I always said that we wouldn't ever call our son "bubba" and yet it's the name we most often use in calling him. I don't know that he'll always be a big boy or that he'll always love food so much...something tells me he will...but either way, we are soaking up every moment of this chunky, squishy, hungry little man!
