Kyson is a month old!

It amazes me how fast the time has flown! Our little Kyson has had quite the month. The poor little guy caught that lovely cold that visited our whole family as soon as he got home from the hospital. As soon as he got over the cold, he got thrush. We didn't know he had thrush, and I just thought he was a little colic because he was so fussy. He is now on some medication, and it is great to have our happy baby back.

Kyson:
-Weighs 8 lbs 11 oz
-21 inches long
-LOVES to cuddle...which makes it hard to get him to sleep in his bassinett
-loves his swing
-loves the Baby Bjorn
-sleeps 3-4 hours a night (hopefully this will get longer!!)
-nurses and drinks from a bottle good
-loves his baths
-loves his binkie
-and the EXCITING NEWS...but I haven't captured it on camera yet...he smiles!!

Fun with Brielle

Last week, when it was beautiful weather, Gavin had fun playing with Brielle. They went to the park, played with bubbles, and had a fun wagon ride.

Playing with the bubbles

Trucks!

Gavin LOVES LOVES LOVES trucks. Or, as he says, "Gucks". We will be driving in the car, and he'll see a truck and yell "Guck!", then when he can't see it anymore, he'll say "Bye Guck." Last week, he went to the park with his little friend Brielle. He found a broken truck while he was there, and insisted on bringing it home. He loved the truck, and even wanted to sleep with the truck. So, Casey took him to Wal-Mart, and let him pick out a big truck. He was so excited about his truck. He carries it everywhere he goes, and he also insists on sleeping with it. What a boy!

Happy Spring!

It's official...it's the first day of Spring! Too bad this beautiful weather isn't going to last. We have been enjoying this warm weather. We went to the park, went for walks, played in the yard and today I even got out to weed. Gavin was such a big helper and helped me weed and Kyson just slept.

Photo Shoot

I took some pictures of my boys today. Kyson was an angel, Gavin was the one who was the stinker. He really didn't think it was too much fun. So hopefully I'll get more of the both of them later.

Hats

I love it when babies wear hats. Here is Kyson sporting a cute little hat.

Adjusting

For those who know Gavin, know that he is a mamma's boy. I thought he'd have a hard time adjusting to a new person taking my attention, but he has done really well. Today he was really cute and wanted to see "Baby". He kept going in our room and peeking into the bassinet. A little later, I got Kyson up and was changing his diaper in his bedroom. Kyson started crying, and I could hear Gavin, who was playing on the stairs, say "Baby! Baby!" He came running up the stairs and runs into our room to check on the baby.

He has already been a big helper by throwing the diapers away in the garbage, or hand me diapers when I am changing Kyson's diaper. Each day it gets a little easier, and hopefully that continues!

Baby Kyson is here!

Kyson McKay was born on Tuesday, March 3 at 4:04 pm. He was 7 lbs 2 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. This labor and delivery was SO EASY. I went into the hospital at 9:30 that morning to be induced. When the nurse asked me if I had any concerns, I just said, "Get me the epideral as soon as I feel pain." and she said, "How about before you feel the pain?" So, I didn't have to feel any pain, and pushing was so much easier the second time around. Only a few pushes, and he was here!

He is such a good baby, and hopefully that continues. He sleeps really good and eats really good. He does spit up a lot, hopefully that is just temporary. He has about the same amount of hair Gavin had, but he doesn't really look like Gavin did when he was born. He has his own cute little look. It was fun seeing Gavin's reaction. He thought the baby was neat for 2 seconds, but he thought the room was much more fun to run and play in. He had no problem leaving us either. He had too much fun with Grandma and Grandpa Losee and Spence.

Things are great, but wish me luck when Casey goes back to work and I have to battle two kids alone!

Happy Birthday Camille! She was so excited to have her new nephew born on her birthday.

Brielle came to visit. She and Gavin had fun playing together.

Dressed ready to go home!

Bad Dad!

One common phrase Gavin hears us say is "Bad Dog!" He is even now telling the dogs they are bad when they get into things they shouldn't get into. Last night Casey was chasing him and teasing him. Gavin was getting fed up with Dad, and he turned around and shakes his finger at Casey and said "Bad Dad!"

P.S...no baby yet! I get induced on Tuesday, so at least I won't go late!

Uck!

Today was the second time I went to go get Gavin from his nap, and I found a dirty diaper on the ground, and him in his changing table, wiping himself. Yuck! I hope this is a step closer to becoming potty trained!

Baby Gavin

Gavin's new favorite thing is to climb in the bassinet and play. I hope when little Kyson comes Gavin won't get jelous!

Coloring!

Gavin has finally mastered the art of coloring. Whenever I would pick him up from nursery, his little papers never had any coloring on it. So I thought we'd better work on this. He now loves to color and asks to color all the time.

So Long Crib!

Gavin survived his first night in his big boy bed. I was very surprised how well he went down. He did get up about an hour after I layed him down. He can't open his door yet, so he would knock on the door and say "Dad!" I went in there and he was telling me he needed to go to the bathroom. So after a quick trip to the bathroom, he layed back down, and was down for the rest of the night! Grandma Barbara made him this quilt for his bed.

Snowshoeing!

On Monday it was our Professional Developement Training Day. Usualy it is a day full of meetings...not very fun. But this meeting was different. We actually all went snowshoeing as a faculty. We went up to Tibble Fork and enjoyed the beautiful outdoors and wonderful weather. About halfway into the hike I started getting contractions, so I turned around and went back. The contractions stopped on the way back, good thing! I'm not quite ready for this baby to come!
