Week 2

Well we are officially on our own and its not too terribly bad. Josh went back to work full time so Mason and I have been adjusting to our new schedule. Mason has been really good about playing around the house and just hanging out while we adjust to it all. Tyler went back to the Dr for her two week check up and now weighs 7.5 lbs. Its hard to believe that Mason was bigger then that when he came out! Ha Ha. While at the Dr Mason and I got our flu shots. Mason was very brave, until the nurse came in with the shot and then he panicked. We also made it to our first birthday party this week and the grocery store. Big week, I know! ha ha! However, its amazing how much longer it takes to get two kids out the door and to the store, especially when we live on a three hour schedule. Its a work in progress, but we'll figure it out! We moved Tyler into her own room this week too. She is doing a great job sleeping and is only waking up once a night for feedings around 2 a.m. I have to admit, so far we've been really lucky in he sleep department, lets just hope it continues!

Week 1

Well we survived week one and I'm happy to report it wasn't all that bad. We brought Tyler home on Friday afternoon, Nana had to leave Saturday morning and MeMe left Monday afternoon. It sure was helpful having them around all week and they are greatly missed now! Mason had a great time playing with them and Josh and I enjoyed a little bit of down time. Tyler went to her first Doctors appointment and is back to her birth weight and had an overall healthy check up. She is eating and sleeping like a champ and so far Mason is adjusting well. I think all of the extra attention from MeMe and Nana has helped, so we will have to see in the weeks to come. Lots of pictures this week!

Tyler's Nursery

Ok here are some pictures of Tyler's room. Since I turned our spare bedroom into the playroom and refuse to give it up, we decided to keep a queen bed in her room so that when people come to stay (please come stay with us!) we will have an extra bed for them to sleep in. Then when she gets older, we will just move her into the big bed and take the crib down. I also painted an old armoire TV stand that we had and turned it into an extra storage unit for clothes and blankets. I didn't want anything super fancy, more shabby chic and simple and that's pretty much what we ended up. Nothing fancy, but I think its cute.

And of coarse Mason wanted to be in at least one picture

I'M Baaack!

Oh my gosh I can't believe that its been over a year and a half since I've blogged! I'm not even going to try and recap whats been going but here's the main breakdown...Mason's getting really BIG and we're about three weeks out from having a baby girl named Tyler. I can't believe that I'm actually going to try and make time to start this back up again! I'm not going to lie...its not 100% by choice! ha ha! But I figure since Mason has a book of every week his first year, its only fair that Tyler has one too. I'm sure this is just one of MANY things that I will have to repeat for the second child that I'm not overly excited about! BUT I do love Mason's book, so I know that it will be worth it in the end! I've added a few summer photos to kick us off. Summer has flown by, We've kept ourselves busy by getting ready for Tyler's arrival, going to the beach, swimming and playing in dirt. We've even managed to make a trip back to Oklahoma, had visitors for the 4th of July and celebrate our 6th anniversary. Ok now the important part...pictures.
