I am so excited to finally find a free minute to catch up on my blog! It has been over seven weeks since my last post and so many new things have been happening in our household! First and foremost, we welcomed our handsome little man, Grady Lane Reese, into the world on November 11, 2011 at 7:34 a.m. He weighed a whopping 7 pounds and 9 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. He is such a cutie pie, if I do say so myself!!!
Grady Lane @ one month old!
He has brought so many wonderful changes to our life that my heart can't help but skip a beat every time he smiles. Along with all of the diaper changes and the spit up, I find myself taking time to relish in the fact that God chose me to raise not just one precious baby but two! I am humbled to say the least. I was worried about finding time for both of kiddos, but to be quite honest with you Kinsey has learned to adjust and Grady just fits like a missing piece to our puzzle. Kinsey is such a great big sister...despite the fact that the first week home was a little rough and many tantrums were thrown by her and her mother! She loves trying to help me with Grady, especially changing his diaper! It is so funny watching her talk to him and love on him... at times I really think he can understand her 90 mph babble:) I can already see the bond that they will share as they grow up together and it makes my heart melt!
And speaking of Kinsey adjusting, we are beginning our potty training adventure. It is definitely more challenging than I expected. She loves to use the potty, but I just can't seem to remember to take her all the time. Today was best day we have had potty training and I was doing great by taking her at least every 45 minutes to an hour, but then fatigue set in by dinner time and I just failed to complete my task!!! But it will all work out on it's own...I mean it has too at some point!
As for now that is all of life changing events..diapers, spit up and potty training pretty much sum up our lives right now! Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Well, actually to us it is...being parents is something that my hubby and I wanted from day one of our marriage and to be able to live out that dream together is worth every 2 am feeding, ten thousand diaper changes and 2 year old tantrums any day!!! My life is absolutely perfect and I am right where I need to be...with the ones I love the most! Thank you Lord for blessing me with such a priceless treasure....my little family!
Grady is pretty excited about being a part of our family...I think his face says it all!
Our little diva, Miss Kinsey!!!
Until next time... Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
