A letter to my Aunt

Dear Aunt Heidi,
Thank you for taking me to the park today. You know just what my mommy needs when she is sick - a little break from all of my energy! She talks about getting me a hampster wheel for my next birthday. I don't know what that is all about...I keep asking for a trampoline. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I had lots of fun today and even took a 3 hour nap when I got home! I'm so glad you and "Ema" live close by. I love you.
Love,
Brady-Boo

 

Updated pictures at last

Here is Miss Mallory in her swing this morning. She seems so much bigger today for some reason. We are loving this newest addition to the family! She is a great baby - mainly because she actually sleeps!! I consider myself very lucky to have her sleep for 3-4 hour blocks at night!! Getting somewhat decent sleep has made the adjustment from 1 kid to 2 a bit more manageable. Brady loves her as well - though I haven't gotten too many pics of them together because I'm usually too busy trying to keep him from smothering her with snotty nose kisses to grab the camera. But rest assured, he loves her and always wants it to be "Brady's turn" to hold her. So enjoy the updated pictures!

This is one of my favorite pictures of her! She didn't open her eyes much the first few days.

Going Home!

 

Ready to go!

 

Brady is the official paci-holder. His little finger fits perfectly in the paci, and he is quick to grab it whenever she is crying. (We just have to work with him on not shoving it into her mouth)

 

Jon hanging out with the kids (can't believe we have 2 now!)

Watching (or sleeping through) a movie with Dad and big brother Brady

 

I went, I conquered

Yes, I took the two children out.....by myself......to the store........all by myself.....one parent, two children. Brady went through about 5 packs of fruit snacks, but we made it. I even took a deep sigh of relief when I got us all loaded back in the car.

P.S. More pics to come soon. I am on Jon's computer and I'm not very good on Mac's.

I think he's in love....

We were very concerned about how Brady would react to the new baby. From the looks of it our fears were unfounded. All he wants to do is "hold baby sissy"

INTRODUCING........

Cheryl and the Doctor

39+ weeks

So here I am, due in a few days. Just wondering if anyone thinks this kiddo will be as big as Brady (8 lbs 11 oz). I am 39 1/2 weeks in both pics.

 

Full term with Brady
