Boys don't wear bows!

Today as we were leaving I put a bow in Blairs head. Lukas insisted on wearing one and grabbed one out of the basket. Then he put it on and left it on. I said do you want to wear that bow to grandmas and he answered yes. I just sort of shrugged and said whatever. When we were in the car and about half way there he took it off. Silly boy I guess he felt left out.

Just had to share a cute picture of Blair.

Blairs newborn session

Yesterday we did a newborn session of miss Blair. Again Nately was amazing and did a fantastic job. Desistodigitals.com is her website. We got some good ones of her and I made sure we put a bow in her hair for the no clothes pictures since I didn't want to confuse her with Lukas later in life since they look SO much a like as newborns. She really is a sweet baby and we already love her so much. Thanks Nately and Chris for taking such great pictures of my kiddies. I will treasure them always since they grow up so fast!

Cute and funny pics!

Things are good in our little adobe. We are just enjoying being a family of four. Dan and I are trying to adjust on little sleep. Not only does Blair not like to be put down at night Lukas wakes up five times a night now. So between the two sleep is pretty non existent. However, we are enjoying being parents of these two sweet little ones. I just wanted to share some funny and cute pictures of the two sweet little ones.

The other day I came in from the kitchen to find Lukas holding the phone up to Blairs ear. Apparently someone wanted to talk to Blair on the phone.

The same day Lukas put his boots on to go outside. I told him he needed to wait until dad got home to play outside because it was too cold for Blair. So he went to sulk in the corner with his stuffed animals and fell a sleep. I tried to move him to his bed but he woke up and got mad and told me NO! So I just let him take his nap there.

I love this pic of Blair. I just love how newborn babies look like porcelian dolls while sleeping.

Twins

I seriously can't believe how much my two kids look a like. The minute I saw Blair it brought back so many memories of Lukas. They have a lot of the same facial expressions and both have an EXTREMLEY loud cry. All the nurses would come running in when Blair would cry to check on us because they were sure something was wrong. The Dr. even commented when she came out that he hadn't heard a baby cry like that in a long time and we were in for some sleepless nights. I guess I wouldn't expect anything else from my little ones. The biggest thing to me that looks the same is their mouths. They have the same big eyes as well. Lukas's nose is a little bigger then Blairs. However, you can for sure tell that they are siblings. I lucked out in the cuteness department with these two.

Blair one week old. I love this dress it is darling. I had to take it off of her though because the flap on top kept coming up and getting in her face. She needs to grow a little more before she can wear it.

Lukas when he was a baby. I am not sure how old he is though. Can you see the similaraties? They both also have some chubby cheeks.

And now there is 4!

We are now a family of four! We welcomed baby Blair to this world on March 1st at 11:41 A.M. She weighs 7 pounds 9 ounces and is 20 inches long. After a long weekend of contractions I finally went into labor and delivery on Monday. I thought they would just send me home. I was so happy that I was dilated to a five and they admitted me. I was a little sad that my Dr. wasn't on call that weekend so I got a Dr. I didn't know. However, the delivery went great and was so much easier this time. I was only in labor (at least at the hospital) for four and a half hours. I pushed for ten minutes when miss Blair came out screaming. The Dr said wow your going to have a lot of sleep less nights I haven't heard a baby cry like that in a long time. She is pretty content so far but I will admit she has quite the set of lungs. She takes after her big brother. We are so happy to have her home and we sure do love her. Now I just need to get my blood pressure under control so I don't have to go on blood pressure medicine. Hmmm hopefully I can get the two kid thing under control because I can see my blood pressure continuing to rise as I go from one kid to two ;) Really, though I am loving being a mommy to a sweet boy and a sweet girl.

Big brother and little sister. Lukas is adjusting really well. He loves Blair and gives her hugs and kisses and always asks where his baby is. He also always wants to hold her and help feed her ect.

Coming home. She already is attached to that binky of hers. As you can see she is very upset in the top pic but once she got her binky she calmed right down.

The proud dad.

The proud mom.

Holy cow

A few weeks ago when it was snowing we left to go somewhere. When I opened the door there were huge snowflakes falling down. I said Holy cow Lukas look at those snowflakes. Since this day this is now Lukas's new phrase. It is hilarous to here him say Holy cow. He says it over everything. I only said it once to him and he just picked it up. Isn't it funny how little kids pick things up so quickly?
On another note I wish miss Blair would make her arrival already. I have been having consistent contractions for two days now. However, they aren't doing much to bring her here. The only thing they are doing is hurting my back and annoying the crap out of me. I have a Drs appointment this morning and am hoping that she will PLEASE let me get her out ASAP!

Sidewalk Chalk

It has just been SO beautiful outside the past few days. Dan has been working days on a project for work so we have had him home in the afternoons and have had some extra time with him. Today we played outside a TON! We went for a walk but mostly played with side walk chalk. Lukas loves to color with sidewalk chalk.

Daddy drew his feet and then drew Lukas's feet inside.

Lukas LOVED to have his body traced. He just kept asking for more.

Then Lukas had to draw daddy. He only got a few lines of his head and then said daddy and was all proud of himself.

He had fun drawing on the bricks as well.
