2 weeks

We have made it two weeks as a family of four!!!  Things are going good, I can finally drive which is great.  Emma so far is being a good baby like her brother was, sleeps and eats great as of now. (I am probably jinxing us!!)  Here are some pics from the first two weeks----

We went to the duck pond in the stroller and this is Ryan checking on Emma--a good big brother

Our first bath, we didnt like it too much the first time.  Now baths go much better!!

Emma's cute hat that I bought her, however her head is too small.  The hat makes her look like a bishop or something!! I cant wait for it to fit her because I love the hat!

Trying to get a picture of Ryan loving on his sister.  This was very hard because one of them is always in motion and my camera is incredibly slow.  However this one turned out cute.  Ryan loves to touch and kiss his sister. I sometimes cant wait for them to be bigger and see them play together.

Emma just chilling in the swing.  She likes the swing so far.  Emma had her checkup this morning and is gaining weight and growing like she should.  She weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long today.  Dr. Taylor was very glad for her weight gain!! Then later today we have a friend coming to take her newborn pics- so stay tuned for better pictures!!

Emma Kate

We are a family of four!! Emma Kate made her debut November 5, 2008 at 12:47pm via c-section.  It all went great.  The whole experience was actually and has actually been good.  We are all home and doing good.  Recovery is going slowly but surely-- I feel good just getting up is sometimes hard. Emma is sleeping and eating well, Ryan is adjusting.  He really likes it when Emma moves or makes noise.  He is really sweet with her and will kiss her head, I know when the time comes he will be a great big brother!!

Right out of the womb!!

Well that is now us!! I love our new family.  We cant wait for you all to see us and watch us grow!! I will continue to post pictures as I get the chance as we are headed into the holiday season and I am off work!!

Halloween

Halloween was lots of fun around here.  We had lots of visitors to come see Ryan in his outfit. My mom made his costume--he was his favorite thing a puppy dog!! He would even bark for you in his costume!!  He did great he left it on all night and he stayed up way later than usual--9pm!!  We had a little sinking spell around his bed time but we gave him some chocolate and he was back better than ever!!  Here are some photos from the night-

Well this is his hat from preschool that he loves to wear--its a spider!

Ryan with his "apples" For some reason you point to a pumpkin and ask what is it he says apple everytime.  It really is funny he wont say pumpkin.

The Family.  

Ryan and Camden (she was a witch)  The two of them sat and played a large portion of the night.  But really Camden took a liking to Aunt Stacy and wouldnt leave her alone!!

Ryan eating candy and digging in his bucket for more.

And there the sweetest face ever.  How could you deny this puppy anything.
