The time has gone by so fast! My baby is 6 weeks old! It is amazing how much she has changed in just a month and a half. It seems like she has doubled in size, she is smiling, talking, and bats at her toys. Her little personality is really starting to show.

We went camping over labor day weekend. We bought a pop up camp trailer, and we had to use it once before winter came. Clara loved to watch the camp fire, and ofcourse Riley loves to put sticks into the campfire.

We also did some fishing. We did not catch anything:(

My babies!

Riley loves his new little sister. While she is in her swing or bouncer he will go give her kisses and hold her hand. When she cries he will go get her pacifire and try to put it in her mouth. And he is always asking to hold the baby. Both mornings since we came home when he has gotten up Clara is already awake. When he hears her or sees her he gets very excited that the baby is still hear.

Baby Clara, Fresh Pics!

Born about 2:30 monday Aug 16th, 9lbs 7oz! Beautiful baby girl, I think we will name her Clara. Tiffany is doing well. Here are some pics!

I am now three days passed my due date! We are doing well, but I am very ready to not be pregnant anymore! If she has not come by Monday I will be induced. I really don't want to be induced, but I need this baby to come! It is really getting old planning life one day at a time. I don't want to sound like I am complaining becase I have been so blessed though out the whole pregnancy. I have hardly been sick, I have gainned less weight this go around, and both baby and I are healthy. I know that once she comes I will forget how frustrated I am and it wont even matter.

Picture at 40 weeks!

This summer is going by way to fast! It is already August, and I am 39 weeks pregnant.
Last weekend we had a family reunion in Island Park. It was fun, even if I was limited in the activities I could do.

Here is the whole family.

Riley has been very creative lately and will make up his own games. This game was called wakeboarding. I would pretend to be the boat and I would pull Riley behind me. He would jump and do tricks, and wipe out.

Riley went kyaking with dad. He had tons of fun.

We must have played to much.

Cutest Story Ever!

We’ve been trying to extra hard these last few months to get Riley ready for his baby sister. We are always pointing babies out to him and having him pretend that his stuffed animals are “babies” so that he can practice being “careful” and “nice”. We have also been emphatic that diapers are “for babies” in an attempt to stop the almost certain potty training regression that will occur upon the baby’s arrival. Needless to say, 9 months is a long time for a 2-year-old (nearly half of his life so far!) and we suspect that he is getting quite anxious for the baby to arrive…

Last week Tiffany and Riley went to Sam’s club and bought a bulk-size box of newborn diapers. The entire ride home Riley pointed at the picture of the baby on the diaper box and said “For baby, for baby!” to which Tiffany replied “That’s right, diapers are for babies.” Upon arriving at home Tiffany pulled Riley from his car seat and took him inside; leaving the diaper box in the truck. Riley began chanting worriedly “diapers, for baby, diapers, get box, for baby!” Being a bit perplexed, Tiffany retrieved the box and brought it inside to the concerned toddler. Riley again pointed to the large picture of an infant on the box and exclaimed “diapers, for baby, open it, open it!” Tiffany obliged the big-brother-to-be and promptly opened the box. Riley tore through the box, carelessly throwing the diapers out until he reached the bottom. He then stood up and, with a look of utter confusion and disappointment, starred at the empty diaper box and asked “Where’s Baby?”
