My Little Blessings

My Children are such a blessing in my life. Andrew is so bright and full of life. I call him my Sunshine Boy because he is always so happy. He is also a comedian most of the time and I think that he does actually try to be funny, as you can see from his picture. He can make you laugh even if you are feeling sad. He is such a big helper with his new Little Brother. He loves to hold him and tickle him and enjoys trying to make Kaleb laugh. Right now we are in the process of potty training Andrew and he is doing quite well. He wears his "Big Boy Underwear" during the hours of the day that he is awake and he is still wearing pull-ups when he naps as well as when he sleeps. I Can't believe that he is turning 3 in December. Time has flown by so quickly and I really can't believe that I have 2 kids.

Kaleb is almost 5 months old now and He is growing like a weed. At his 4 month check up he was in the 75% for his weight, 90% for length, & he has a small head measuring in the 25% . I think those numbers are amazing because he was really skinny at birth. He weighed in at 6 lbs. 13.9 oz. and was 21 inches.

Kaleb had a little bit of a rough start in life. When he was born he was a bit on the lethargic side and so he was taken to the level 2 nursery. (NICU) and was there the entire time we were in the hospital. He had some trouble breathing and so he was on Oxygen. They had an IV in his little left hand. I wasn't able to hold him till the 2nd day and that broke my heart. I do count myself lucky because he did get to come home with me and that made me happy. I felt sorry for the other parents in there who's children were a lot worse off than Kaleb was, so I count my blessings on that one.

I Quickly discovered that having 2 kids is a lot different than having just one. I have had to try and split my time between the two of them evenly, as well as try to include Andrew when I am spending time with Kaleb because, "He wants to help play with Kaleb." Kaleb was given the nickname Stitch on the day he was born. For those of you who have seen "Lilo & Stitch" you might understand. Kaleb's birthday is 6-26-08. So 6-26 in honor of "Experiment 626" That is my sisters doing.

I Love my boys and Hope that I am doing an Okay job at raising them. I do wish that they were able to spend a little more time with Hyatt. He does try and Andrew loves to play with Daddy. Kaleb smiles a big "Hyatt" smile every time he sees his Daddy's face and that in return makes Hyatt smile.

I love having 3 Boys to take care of, but I do hope that there is a little girl in our future. I Love my Family and cherish the good times that we have had and look forward to the good times in the future!
