Gus's First Try



Thought I'd give this blogging stuff a try. Jen, being the great teacher she is, walked me through it. I've been resisting the blogging trend for awhile now, but my friends Luke, Pete, and the Eddys inspired me with some great work on their blogs, and now I have this beautiful little girl to brag about.

So first is a picture I took about a week ago of Kaylin smiling unintentionally. It should have been up earlier, but mom didn't want my amazing photography skillz stealing her thunder :) The next one is of me reading Kaylin a literary version of "The Jungle Book." This is without debate the greatest Disney movie ever, as she will come to learn. My mom and dad read it to me roughly 100,000 times as a child, and look how it worked out. As you can see, Kaylin is not as interested as I would like her to be.

Finally, we'll see if we can get up some video of Kaylin attempting to wake up. She does an entire routine where she cries and stretches and falls back asleep about four times before actually getting up. It's fun to watch the whole thing, but hard to avoid picking her up for some snuggling. Which is a new word for me, and I'm a little embarassed to admit that. Soon to come is a pic of her doing the Zoolander face "Blue Steel" which I taught her two days ago but have yet to capture. Enjoy.

Weight gain!

Good News! Kaylin went from 5lbs 15oz last Monday to 6lbs 10oz at her appointment today! She's gaining weight even faster than they wanted her to. She's already an overachiever.

Benj and Megan

Here are the terrific people who took Jen to the hospital, stayed with her, counted as she pushed and helped Gus get to the birth of his daughter! Hooray for Megan and Benj.

This is Kaylin telling mom and dad she's ready to eat.


More Visitors!



Traci came over to play and spend time during the Apple Cup with Jen and Kaylie. After the game Tierny and Jeff came over to visit as well. I think she enjoyed all the attention. She did very well with all the guests. Looking forward to getting more!

Visitors!


Uncle Ben came to play. We really like him. Kaylin fell asleep on him, smiles at him and actually made a fist and bopped him in the face. We only saw the trick with him.
