Radio Flyer Tricycle


Check out Kaylee riding her new tricycle. I really enjoyed Jennifer, Kaylee and Nolan's visit. We got this on our shopping trip to Target. (Check out Jennifer's post for more info on the shopping experience). Unfortunately, it rained most of the time they were here. It did clear up a little while, so Kaylee got to try out the tricycle. She really liked the bell. It was so good having her here for a few days. I got to spend time with Kaylee and also play with Nolan. It seems like such a short time ago when Kaylee was born and now here she is riding a tricycle. Boy, how time flies!

Precious Feet


Ten wiggly toes, on feet not yet plump
Covered in skin, so soft to the touch
Stretching and kicking, unsure of their purpose
We start out with rhymes, to the market they go
And before you know it, you're on tippy toes
Those first timid steps will bring forth many smiles
As we clap and encourage you each step of the way
Soon you'll be jumping and running with glee
Exploring and playing, not a care in the world
Oh, such a journey you'll take with these feet!

Um, Um, Good!


I think we're going to have a thumb sucker. Don't worry, I did some research and according to the American Dental Association, thumb sucking does not cause permanent problems with the teeth or jaw line unless it is continued beyond 4 to 5 years of age. So, we can just sit back and enjoy watching this cuddly habit of thumb sucking.

Big Sister


I've been gone from Jennifer's for only a few hours, but I already miss my grandkids!!! Things went very smoothly this week. Jennifer is doing great! Nolan went back to the doctor on Friday and had gained about 4 ounces. I'm tired so I won't post much tonight, but I did want to post a picture of Big Sis holding Nolan. She did a very good job.

Brand new day

What a difference a good night makes!!!!!! I can't get over how good Nolan is. He slept last night and only woke to feed every three hours. He had his first outing yesterday. He had to see the doctor and she said everything looked good. He had lost a little more weight, but nothing she was concerned with. He also has a little jaundice, but again, nothing to be concerned with. We have to take him back on Friday for another weigh in, but he is really eating, so I'm sure he will gain some weight before then. Kaylee is showing a little disinterest in him. We picked her up at the babysitter's yesterday, so she got to show him off to all the other children. Maybe we can have a good day and get some more things done around the house. I'll share more later.
