Camping

Kinsley will be eight weeks old on Thursday. Since she has been born we have gone camping 5 times. Thankfully she does a great job with it. These are pictures from all those different trips.

Just chillin with Keltie's sunglasses on.

Loving life. This is when it was so hot and we were camping at Lake Wissota.

Keltie eating an Oreo. Gotta love the chocolate between her teeth.

This isn't really camping, but oh well, I hit the wrong button. Eating corn on the cob on the deck.

Kinsley

So I know this is way past due, but I'm finally back into the world of technology. I will try to get updates more often now. Beware there will probably be a lot all at once. These are pictures from Kinsley's birth. (Only 8 weeks later). I once again had a very easy labor. I was admitted to the hospital at 7:45 a.m. and she was born at 2:46 p.m. Kevin was with me the entire time. The only difficulty that I had was when the nurse told me that I couldn't push. I asked her if she had every delivered a baby and she said that she did. I looked at her and told her that I was going to push then. My pain medicine had wore off by this time so I needed to push and that's what I did.

All cleaned up and ready to snuggle.

Ready to spend some quality time with Mama.

Keltie was right all along when she said she was going to have a sister.

Kinsley Mae Will

I know that this is long overdue, but lack of time and lack of technology have kept me away. I'm still trying to get more pictures posted, but for now this will have to do.

On Thursday, July 8th at 2:46 p.m. we welcomed into this world Kinsley Mae. She was 8 pounds 8 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. She has lots of dark brown hair.

We are all doing well, just adjusting to a new addition. Keltie has been a big help and is excited to be able to shake the bottle when giving it to her. She is a great baby and has even slept 8 hours in one night. We know that this can change at anytime, but we are enjoying every moment of it.

New Bedroom

Another milestone for Keltie happened this week. She is moved downstairs to her new bedroom. It was supposed to happen in April, then in May, but it has finally happened before the new baby arrives, which is exactly what we wanted. Kevin did such a great job on the room. We have been spending a lot of time with Keltie getting her ready for this move. Every time we go downstairs we take her with and talk about how this is going to be her new room. She has been very excited, but it's always difficult to know how much she actually understands. Yesterday, we moved her bed down before nap time. She crawled right into it and was ready to go to sleep. We asked her if she wanted to read a story and she replied, "No, just go night night." We did read a story and left right after it. She had a much easier time than I did. I left the room in tears. (Luckily I can chalk it up to the hormones.) Bedtime went the same way. Hopefully it continues to be this way. It is just so amazing how fast she is growing up.

All snuggled up.

Finished Rock Wall

Kevin finished Keltie's rock wall over the weekend. It looks so nice and Keltie was excited to try it out. She hasn't quite gotten the grasp for it yet, but as she gets older she will. For now, it's nice to have Daddy help her out.

Dorchester Days

We took Keltie to the Dorchester Days parade thinking that she would be pretty excited about it. Well, we were completely wrong. Of course every parade has to start with sirens so she was immediately freaked out by that. The rest of the parade she spent on Kevin's lap and didn't really show much emotion. She was much better after the parade was over. We went to eat with both sets of grandparents and cousins and then it was time for the rides. Boompa wanted to take Keltie on the carousel, but we didn't know how she would react. She loved it! Every time that she went around, she would smile and wave. It was hard to get a good picture because she was going by so fast.


She had another ticket so she decided to go on the cars. Again, we didn't know how she would react, but once Boompa had her buckled in she was ready to go. I guess we are in for a world of hurt when she turns 16.

Strawberry Patch

On Saturday we went strawberry picking with Kevin's parents. Well, Keltie absolutely loved this. She kept going back and forth from row to row and asking everyone for more strawberries. Needless to say, she didn't pick any strawberries, all she did was eat them. These pictures are all in mixed up order, but you can see how red her face was when she was finished.

You can see the red on her face.

"Please just one more."

"I can eat as many as I want."

"Yum, yum!"
