1 Month Old!

I am sorry it has been so long since my last update! Life with two young children does not give you much time to yourself let alone time to get on the computer. I know you are all missing photos of the kiddos so here you go. Noah is doing wonderful! In the past week and has figured out his days and night, YEAH! He is still getting up every 2 – 2 ½ hours to eat but at least he is sleeping the rest of the time. MaKayla is also doing well! She loves her little brother and kisses and loves on him all the time!

We have had a change in our house. I was part of a lay off at Taylor Company and am now on the job hunt. I received the call two weeks after Noah was born. I have my resume updated and am searching, searching and searching. If you hear of any openings that you think match my skills I would appreciate you letting me know.

June 21, 2008 – Noah and Daddy working under the Challenger. It is never too early to start a love of cars.
June 20, 2008 – MaKayla and Lydia had a play date at Sapora Playworld. They had a good time playing and running around. It was difficult to get pictures of the two of them together. The most fun was the water fountain. Lydia taught MaKayla how to drink from the water fountain. She was soaked by the time we left.

June 16, 2008 – One Month Old!!! Where has the time gone! It doesn't seem possible that our sweet baby boy is a month old already. Noah is becoming so strong and more aware. He lifts his head up when we are holding him. At his one month appointment he weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 ¾ inches long. He is growing like a little sunflower!
June 12, 2008 – Our 4th Anniversary! Happy Anniversary Honey! It has been 4 wonderful years! We have been through a lot in four years and we have grown so much together. You are my love, my partner and my best friend! I love being by your side through this thing called life! I look forward to growing old with you sweetheart!

Happy Father's Day!

June 15, 2008, Happy Father’s Day Sweetheart! You are a wonderful Father and Husband! I love watching you with our children and how MaKayla’s eyes light up whenever she is with you. Seeing you out on the couch in the middle of the night with Noah on your chest so I can get some sleep melts my heart. I could come up with a thousand examples of your gentle caring love. You are a wonderful example of Christ’s love! I look forward to watching you grow with our children in the future.

Happy Father’s Day to my Dad who I have lots of fun memories with and look forward to making many more!

Daddy and his two babies, we really do have a lot to celebrate this Father’s Day!

May 23, 2008 – Mad boy! Andy and Noah have the same bump between their eyebrows when squint their eyes. I love looking at him and discovering similarities.

May 24, 2008 – MaKayla has picked up a love for her baby dolls. Ever since we brought Noah home, she mothers her babies while I mother Noah.

May 25, 2008 – Grandma Baker gave MaKayla a little high chair, swing, stroller and bouncer for Christmas but I thought she was too young for them at the time. We decided it was time to bring them out and it was a big hit. She LOVES mimicking what I do with Noah.

May 26, 2008 – MaKayla loves being a little mother to Noah. She is always kissing and loving on him. She brings him blankets and toys and likes to swing and sing to him. It is so cute to watch her natural mother instincts develop.
