Sold Our House

Well we got an offer on our house and we're under contract. She's a single teacher and we're suppose to close on April 28th!! We're SO excited. It's a little earlier than we were hoping, but earlier IS better than too late. We're probably going to move our stuff to storage and move in with Josh's mom for a month or two....Not the most ideal situation, but it will work and it will give her a time to spend with the grandkids before we move. We're looking for an apartment managing position in Portland now, so if one comes up we're off to Portland...if not, we'll be leaving in June.

Haylee's One Month Old

Haylee is ONE MONTH OLD TODAY!! She is doing so good. She wakes up about every 3-4 hours during the night (can't wait until it's 6-8, but we're only a month old!). She already weighs 8lbs 14oz!!! She's going to be my chunky baby!!!

Haylee

Our Beautiful Daughter!!! I love this picture. I took it today after church!!! I love having a little girl I can doll up!! She's a really good baby. She only cries when she's hungry. She wakes up about every 3-4 hours to eat....last night we went 4 1/2 hours!!! She's a keeper!! :)

Life With Two Kids

Life with two kids is a lot different than life with one. I think the big thing that is exhausting is NOT getting a full night's rest and then having to chase a 3 year old around all day. Don't get me wrong I LOVE it, but I am really tired right now. Haylee will be 1 month old on Tuesday and Garrett is almost 3 (his birthday is in June). Garrett is doing really good. Sometimes he acts out, but I think it's because he's craving attention, although he LOVES his baby sister. I try my best to give him one on one time, especially when he starts acting out. Haylee is a really good baby. She really likes to be held, but if I can't hold her she usually fusses for a minute and then gets over it. We discoverd a few days ago she really likes her swing. She can't sit up in it quite yet but with a little help from blankets it works just fine. This picture of Garrett and Haylee was taken last night after bath. I found it's a lot easier to bath them together....I do Haylee, Josh does Garrett. Not to mention it's good family time.

Garrett and Haylee

I am SO amazed at how well Garrett is doing with his new baby sister. He loves her so much and is SO gentle with her. He gets rowdy sometimes around her and doesn't realize he might hurt her, but when he wants to touch her or see her, he is very gentle. Someone at church asked him if they could take Haylee home with them and he said NO, Haylee goes home with me!! He HATES it when she cries, but it's a "she's hurting, I feel bad for her" hate. I'm so happy he's not jealous and is doing so good!! I hope they grow up and are really close!!

Church

Today was Haylee's first Sunday we went to church. She was SO cute. She doesn't have any dresses that fit her....but I did have this really cute white dress shirt that was 6 months. It had purple flowers on it....it fit her like a dress and was really cute!!! The arm holes were a little big, but you couldn't even tell. She was an angel in church too....we'll wait a few months and see what I'm saying!!

First Bath

Haylee's umbilical cord fell out today, so she got her first bath in water. She loved it....especially over the sponge baths that left her cold. Garrett loved her taking a bath with him too!!
