Kaitlin came up to me and said she needed to wash her “Sticky Paws”! Where she comes up with these things cracks me up!!

On the same day she came up and gave me a huge hug and said lets snuggle! Melt me heart!! She was sitting in my lap and I had brushed her hair and she looked at me and said “don’t pet me”! Always something funny from this girl!

Kaitlin has been playing with Colin while he is in the baby gym! She is such a sweet big sister and tried to help him get the octopus! Kaitlin would swat the octopus then Colin would try to hit it! It was so fun to see them playing together!

She would say “ Go Colin” and when he hit it she would clap and say “ I am so proud of you I knew you could do it!” It was the sweetest thing!

2 months

How can this sweet boy be 2 months old already!!

Colin you are growing and changing everyday! You are wearing 3 month clothes and some 3-6 month outfits! Some of your 3 month sleepers are getting a little snug in the toes! Size one diapers fit you really well !

May 2012 005

You are starting to be more alert and I love all the smiles and laughs! You still are swaddled and take a pacifier! You are harder to convince you need a nap but that swing tricks you to sleep every time!

May 2012 006

You love to eat and are eating every 3 hours but you would love to eat all the time! You are a hungry boy! You go down after your night feeding with Daddy and usually wake up around 3! You have made it twice skipping that feeding and woke up at 5 so that is a new development that we are hoping continues!

May 2012 007

Here you are at 2 months and then at one month!

Blessed

"It was the best of times and it was the worst of times".... Charles Dickens sure describes the last two months!! This is not my normal post but I have been changed forever and am unsure if I remember what normal looks like!

 

I do know that our family has been blessed by so many sweet friends and I feel so so unworthy of such blessings! The countless meals that people have brought us have been beyond a huge blessing! Our Sunday school class helped us so so much for feeding us for 3 weeks! Food waiting on us when we came home with a brand new baby and meals when I was overwhelmed that cooking was the last thing that was on my mind! They have been on this roller coaster with us and have celebrated our greatest joys and mourned with us in such a gracious way! They have loved us in a way that is selfless and true!

I have been so blessed with friends who drop everything to help and are over in a moments notice! Not questioning my need just being over to help in a flash! Such wonderful friends praying for huge miracles and praying detailed prayers for divine intervention! I am changed forever because of their sweet sweet hearts!

 

My precious girls from college sent me this and I will treasure it forever! Girls that have known me over 10 years and are all over the country now gave us such a beautiful tangible gift that means the world to me!

I know I will never be able to communicate how much these people have helped us over these last months. I know that I am changed forever because of them!
