One More from the Arboretum

Cristy and I were looking over pictures last night and I found one that I wanted to share.  Dad took literally hundreds of pictures at the Dallas Arboretum, and this was a real nice moment that he caught with Madeleine in mid-skip leading the way.

Happy Easter!

Kyle was invited to Hannah's easter egg hunt.  Hannah did all the work.

Kyle’s first week of daycare

Kyle did great his first week of daycare! The ladies there said he had the best first day of any baby that they can remember. He only cried when he wanted his diaper changed or was hungry. He loves to sit in the bouncy seat and watch the older babies.  He also loves looking at the colorful bulletin board when the caretaker holds him.  They took him outside yesterday because it was finally warm enough and he had a ball. Jay and I aren't adjusting quite as well as Kyle but we'll get used to it.

Cristy has finally become a swaddling master, and to prove it here's a video of Cristy swaddling Kyle.  

P.S. The disembodied voice in the background is her sister Laura on the speaker phone. 

Hannah's Birthday!

I think I forgot to mention how much fun we had Saturday at Hannah's first birthday party!  

Kyle had a big weekend!

The first chronological shot is of Kyle getting cleaned up for his big Sunday.  Then there are pictures from his baptism. Joel and Wendy along with Madeleine, Miriam and Amanda were in town, so Monday we all went to the Dallas Arboretum and took some Easter shots.

Short video of Kyle

Here's about half a minute of Kyle right after eating yesterday.

Congratulations to Laura and David on the birth of their new baby boy!

No posts yet on Laura's blog (she needs to recover) but once there is I'll add a link.

Here's a sweet picture from David's Facebook album.

My First Outing Alone with Kyle

Monday, Kyle had to get his PKU test and Jay had to work. So, Kyle and I went to the hospital by ourselves. I was nervous about the trip, but Kyle did great! He did of course cry when they pricked his heel, but he fell asleep on the way to the car. I was feeling pretty good so we even stopped at the grocery store on our way home. Overall, Kyle and I had a fantastic first outing!

Kyle's Two Week Birthday

Today Kyle is two weeks old and is doing great! He has been staying awake longer each day but mostly just in the late mornings and early in the afternoon. We go to his first well baby visit tomorrow.
Jay and I are extremely tired. Jay has been very sweet and taken two of the night feedings for me. I'll ask Jay to post some more pictures soon.
