One Week Old

Baby girl turned one week old yesterday! She is such a sweet calm baby (unless you have to undress her) and we are so in love with her, especially her big brother.

On Wednesday we welcomed this little bundle of love into the world. We were blessed with a super fast labor and delivery and a healthy, beautiful girl. She is just so precious and Leyton has been so sweet with her. He wants to hold her all the time and kisses on her. 

I couldn't narrow it down to just one or two pictures from her first couple days of life, so here are several:

Daddy according to Leyton



I always knew Jeremy would make a great father, but he amazes me everyday with the patience, consistency and adoration he has for Leyton. He balances me out as a parent because as much as I love my child, sometimes I want to rip my hair out and run down the street naked screaming all kinds of profanity. Jeremy usually can sense when I'm on the brink of this kind of insanity and steps in accordingly. He gets so much joy out of being a father and Leyton thinks he hung the moon. And any day now, he will have another little being who will have him wrapped around her finger.

I found this funny little questionnaire about daddies and I thought it might be amusing to see L's answers and amusing it was:


How old is your Daddy? He’s old
How much does he weigh? um, 3 pounds.
How tall is he? Bigger, bigger, bigger
What color is his hair? Black
His eyes? Brown
When my Daddy relaxes, he likes to – He likes to go outside, rest
He loves to cook ~ He cooks hamburgers
When my Daddy works ~ at church
Favorite Food ~ Hamburgers, Chicken
Favorite Drink ~ Chocolate Milk
Favorite Thing to wear ~ an animal shirt
His favorite TV show is – Baseball, Go Braves!
He likes to sing ~ Jingle Bells
Daddy always tells me ~ He loves me
It makes him happy when ~ When I let him go outside
I really love my Daddy because ~ Because I just do!

My little man


I can't believe my little man is about to be a big brother. I am so, so excited to meet our little girl, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't just a little sad to see our time as just a family of three come to an end. I admit I have been a little clingy and mushy with this little guy lately, but I can't help myself. And I mean, look at him, it is hard not to.

These pictures were taken during our "dress rehearsal" for my Sister-in-law's wedding. He was supposed to be the ring bearer, but decided that he wasn't going to make the trek down the aisle. At least he looked sharp.

Memorial Day Weekend

Last weekend we suited up and headed over to the Ellard's for some swimming and grilling. I wasn't sure how Leyton was going to do in the pool this year, but surprisingly he still loves it. He sometimes gets a little brave for comfort, but I'm so glad he likes it. I really, really need to get him into lessons. Here are a few pictures.

Sweet Katelyn. Seriously, the sweetest baby ever.
