One month old


I can't believe Kaitlyn is already a month. Time flies so fast. She is so great. Last night she only woke up twice, so I feel a little better today too! It is amazing how quick the idea of family changes. Kaitlyn was sleeping the other evening, and the John, Sydney, Dave, and I were watching a movie. Dave was cuddling with me, and Sydney with John. As I looked I realized that even though it was great to be the four of us, it felt incomplete. We spent many many night just like that before Kaitlyn was born, but now it wasn't our family. I don't know exactly how to describe it, but I was amazed at how quickly she has made her way into my heart. I wasn't sure I could handle three kids, I struggled with two sometimes, but I am so glad we have Kaitlyn. I love how she snorts constantly, I love how she smells after a bath, I love to cuddle her, I love that she loves to hold my hair, and I love her hands. I don't know why I am fascinated with her hands, but I love to just look at them and how little they are. Dave and Sydney do wonderful with Kaitlyn, and it is fun to watch them. The other night, I was in the middle of cooking dinner when Kaitlyn woke up. She was crying for a minute before I could go get her. Finally, Sydney, exasperated, said "Well, I guess if no one else cares about Kaitlyn I will have to go take care of her." I, as always, fall more in love with John with every child, I love to watch him be a dad, he is amazing.

As a side note: my internet is struggling as usual. But I am having serious issues loading blogs, and leaving comments lately. Especially, Brooke, Stacey, Craig and Sarah and Lori. So I love your blogs and sorry I can't comment. High-speed internet is supposed to be here this summer!!

she looks like she belongs in your family. I can tell she's yours. I know what you mean about those babies working their way into your heart. Even though Tyler is only two months it feels like he's been a part of our family forever. I guess he has.

She is such a cutie!! I can't decide who I think she looks more like. That is awesome that the kids are such good helpers too. I think it is so fun to see our guys with the kids. It definitely gives you a new love for them. Thanks for the update and I understand if you can't get on the blog...hopefully your fast internet will come soon!
