One Month Old


I can't believe it!!! Kyle is already one month old. How time flies when you are happier than you have ever been. I love being a mother of two. Makayla is so much fun. I love that we can have conversations about things. She does have a little attitude now that shows up a couple times a day but with that is her sweet little personality that loves everyone and everything. She is constantly telling all of us how much she loves us. And then there is my little boy. I can't even imagine life without him now. He is such a huge part of our lives. We are so blessed to have this special little spirit in our home. Kyle is growing up so fast! We just took him to the hospital to get his newborn lab work done and while we were waiting in the room there was a baby scale. So we turned it on and put Kyle on it. He weighed 9 pounds!!! Holy cow at least we know he is eating well. It will be fun to see how much he has grown at his two month appointment. Kyle is trying to smile at us but he hasn't quite gotten there yet. This morning I got a half smile out of him but we are waiting for the real thing. He is starting to grab our hands which is always fun. He also is holding his head up a lot better. Overall he is absolutely perfect. We love him so so so so much!!!
While we were in Utah we were trying to think of a nick name for Kyle. We thought of a bunch of things but nothing stuck. When Brooke handed him over to us at the hospital she told us that she had been calling him Ky Guy. Well, Brooke I am glad to tell you that that has stuck and we love it. That is pretty much all that Makayla ever calls him. He is our sweet little Ky Guy!

Kyle is two weeks old!!!


Kyle is two and a half weeks old! We went to the pediatrician yesterday and he is now 7 pounds 4 ounces and 21 inches long. Good job buddy!!! The doctor said he is perfect which we of course already knew. After the doctor we got his picture taken. He did great and Makayla loved helping out with things. Makayla still loves her little brother. Her favorite thing to do is feed him. Today it came in really handy when Kyle was screaming to be fed and I needed to make lunch. I had Makayla feed him while I made lunch. She is the best big sister ever!!!

Happy Mother's Day


Well, that was the best mother's day I have ever had. Not only do I have the most wonderful little girl in the whole world but now I have the most wonderful little boy. It was a crazy, busy, day with no time to spare but absolutely perfect. Thanks to a wonderful husband who also made the day perfect.

I am not putting a bunch of pictures up yet because I am working on a special little video. Almost done just waiting for a couple pictures from my parents. Kyle is doing wonderful. He is the best baby. He has a hard time at night. Around three every morning he decides it is time to wake up. Other than that he is perfect. Makayla is adjusting to being a big sister. Today was my first day alone with Ben back to work so I was a little nervous but it went great!!! Makayla and I took Kyle to the park and on a walk. It was a very full day. Oh yeah, and Makayla my little comedian just said the funniest/weirdest thing. She was getting ready to take a shower and I asked her if she wanted to go potty first. She said, "No mommy I'll just pee in the shower." Now where on earth did my innocent little three year old learn that!?!?!?
