Living, Laughing & Loving!!

Well, our month with Grammy has come and gone We were pretty sad to see her and Papa take off yesterday morning! I can not even begin to express how blessed I am to have the Mom I have!  I’m not quite sure how we would have made it through the last month with out her here!! You are a pretty awesome maid Totally kidding, I love you Ma!! From the bottom of our hearts we thank you!!!

This week is full of  birthday party planning (Kennedy’s 3rd bday) Doctor appointments (Mommy’s surgical incision is struggling to heal once again ) and Nana is coming on Thursday!  Here some pictures from the last two weeks! Since this is my 1st day on my own I don’t have a whole lot of time to write. I have bottles to wash, laundry to be done, beds to be made, dinner to cook,  a 2 year old to chase ,  and a 4 week old baby who wants to be held constantly! (and my Dr wants me to take it easy for 2 more weeks…yeah right!)  Thank goodness Nana will be here in 2 days

 

Daddy Snuggle time!

Kennedy & Gram doing a little reading

Colton getting his last sponge bath

(His Umbilical cord took a while to heal up)

 

Papa arrived on Wednesday! Kennedy was thrilled to see him, until she realized he was here to take Grammy back home!

Of course he didn’t come empty handed!

Her new Teddy bear! YIKES!

Colton seemed to love laying on his Papa’s belly all weekend!

Went to the park. Kennedy was more fascinated with the construction equipment than playing on the jungle gym!

 

Swinging with Gram and Papa

Mommy sat in the shade with baby brother and watched!

The “wardens”

These two have been sure to keep me in line over the past 3 weeks!

COME BACK, we miss you!

Playing a little Old maid!

Kennedy loves my mom’s convertible. Every night after dinner they boys took her for a ride around the block!

“Look Ma, A Lizard!!!”

We went to a historical site just up the road and Kennedy insisted this was princess Belle’s castle

 

My heart!!

They love their Papa!

My little guy is getting so big!!

 

Photo Shoot

On Colton’s one week birthday we had a photographer come by the house and take these adorable shots of our little guy! The photographer was using him as a baby model for her company to show off some of the cute props she uses on newborns!  This is probably my favorite pic.  The monkey tail is too cute! Thanks Chi Photography!!!

Baby Days!

Time passes by way too fast! Colton is already 2 weeks old and even worst, I just realized Kennedy will be turning 3 in just a few weeks! I have found myself clinging to my babies this week~ I'm afraid if I blink or turn around for too long I will see BIG kids standing before me!
Colton is doing great! We took him to the Dr for his 2 week checkup on Thursday. He is now 7lbs 3 oz and 21 inches long! Sleeping through the night for the most part. He wakes up here and there but only long enough to have his diaper changed and guzzle down an ounce or two. He rarely cries and is even starting to recognize voices and give little grins!! He is an absolute dream come true!!!
Kennedy is amazing as a big sister! She is so loving towards him. She loves laying under his play mat playing and singing to him. She is constantly hugging and kissing him and every time he makes even the smallest noise she runs to see what is wrong. Kendal and I took her for a special date with just Mommy & Daddy to get ice cream the other evening and she cried the entire time because she missed her brother and wanted him to come with us~ I couldn't have asked for a sweeter little girl!!!!
Kendal is back to work now:-( But I'm super blessed to still have my Mom here with us! Having her here has been the best! I'm definitely going to struggle when the time comes for her to head back home! As for me, I'm doing much better than I did when I had Kennedy. My surgical incision has only opened partially this time and the Dr thinks I should be heal quicker than last time! Fingers Crossed! I'm ready to be back to my old self!!! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the sunshine for me!! Love to all:-)

We had a photographer come to the house last week and she took some amazing pictures of our new little guy! We will have to wait a few more weeks to get them all back but here is a sneak peak!!!

Napping with my little man!

Splashing around w/ Dad

Since its so hot already Colton rarely see's the outdoors!
We had a cool day last week so we took him to the park to watch Kennedy run around all afternoon!

I miss feeling his curled up inside my belly! But being able to see him curl up outside of my belly is THE BEST!!! We snuggle like this alot!
