Tyler is 2 Months


Tyler time is going by so quickly, I am always telling you to stay small forever, but you are not listening! At your 2 month check up you were 11lbs 2 oz (39%) and 23.4in (70%), so basically tall and skinny. You are the happiest little baby around, if you are awake you are generally smiling, I love it! You are so easy to get to smile, you love it when we sing the wheels on the bus and move your legs, you just smile and smile. You also love when we put your arms over your head and say, "So Big", you smile and are starting to giggle a little bit. Sadie loves it when you smile at her, you think she is so interesting, probably because she is always running around being so busy. You hardly ever cry, only when you are getting tired, but even then it is only for a few minutes. I am not kidding when I say you are the best baby. For the past two weeks you have started going to bed at about 8:30 and sleeping 7 to 8 hours, waking up to eat and then sleeping another 3. I can not believe it every single night, you are a dream! After I come in and feed you I always tell your dad that we have the best baby in the world. I love watching your little face as you are starting to discover new things. You are starting to like playing on your play mat, looking at the animals and yourself in the mirror. You love to look at yourself and you just smile and smile. You are also liking your mobile and kick you legs and coo as you watch the animals go around. Thank you for being ours, we love you so much! You are such a little peacemaker and I am so glad that you are part of our family.


Love,

Mom XOXOXOXO

Tyler Devin Smith is Here!

Tyler is here and he is such a good little baby! We feel so lucky and blessed that he is part of our family! He arrived on March 25th at 12:01 am, he was 7 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long. They induced me at 2:00 pm and he was here at midnight. His labor and delivery went so smoothly, Devin and I both couldn't believe how much easier it was this time. He has been such a good baby, he is eating and sleeping great. He is sleeping 3 to 4 hours in a row at night and then waking up to eat. We are feeling spoiled and are afraid each night that it will end, but so far he has been great. He is a content baby most of the time and has been such a joy to have. We love his little fuzzy hair, cute button nose and perfect little ears. Sadie has adjusted well and really loves him. We have been pleasantly surprised with how much she loves him, she is a great big sister! We were thankful that my mom was here to help her with the transition, she and grandma were best buds! Thanks Mom! We are so happy that he is here and that he is ours! Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks.

We Are Having a BOY!!

I know it has been forever since I posted on our blog, but life caught up with me and the blog kind of fell through the cracks! Hopefully here soon I will update, but for now I wanted to share our exciting news. I am expecting our second child and it is a BOY!!! I am 21 weeks along, he is due March 27th. In the ultrasound he looked healthy and happy. Sadie is excited about having a brother and we can't wait to meet our little guy. I am feeling great, I was a little sicker in the beginning this time, but at about 11 weeks I started to feel normal again. This pregnancy has definitely gone faster than with Sadie, but I think it is because I am trying to keep up with her and have less time to think about everything. I am feeling him move around and I can tell he is getting stronger everyday, Devin even felt him move the other day. We are just so excited to have another little one join our family!!

Summertime Fun

What we have been up so far this summer.....SWIMMING - lots and lots of swimming! Sadie is turning into a fish, between swimming at Cherry Hill and for the past 2 weeks we have been taking Mommy and Me swim lessons! Sadie has loved swim lessons and every morning she wants to get her swimming suit on and says "water." Her favorite part of swim lessons are jumping off the side of the pool to me and blowing bubbles in the water. Usually by the time we get home for her nap she is tired and I like it!

PLAYING IN THE YARD AND AT THE PARK - we are loving playing outside in the backyard with bubbles, chalk, and in the tree swing. We also loving picking food in our garden, Sadie gets so anxious to pick stuff that she keeps picking out green strawberries and eating them. We also have been playing at the park with friends a lot, she loves the slides and the bridges.

POPSICLES - it is definitely summer because we just have to eat a Popsicle everyday! If you haven't tried the "Popsicle Mighty Minis" you should. They are for little kids and are the size of a lipstick, they are slow melt and just perfect for little Sadie.

PARTIES - here is Sadie at Carson's birthday party eating a cupcake, do you think she liked it? We had a blast at the party jumping on the trampoline, eating cake and playing with cousins.

TREATS - we love making treats at our house and I love my little helper!

WAGON RIDES - we love our wagon and take rides almost daily. Here are Sadie and her friend Leah on the Lagoon Trail taking a ride and eating a snack.

FEEDING THE DUCKS - we love feeding the ducks and Sadie asks to do it almost daily.
We are loving summer and having a blast!

"Bunga Bay Baby"

For our nephew Carson's 5th Birthday my side of the family all went to Cowabunga Bay, a water park here in Utah. As I was walking in holding our niece Brynnley's hand she just kept saying to me, "Bunga Bay Baby!!", I loved it! They kids were so excited, as you can see from the excitement on their little faces. Sadie was so excited she wouldn't even take her nap, we could hear her in her crib saying,"Cars, Brynnie, Popi, Water" and then laugh. It was such a fun day, thanks Mom and Dad!The kids waiting to go into the park, so excited! I think this is the best picture we have ever taken of them, everyone was looking and everyone was smiling, what an accomplishment!

Sadie kissing the birthday boy! Carson would lay on the cement to get warm when he got out of the water and Sadie just kepting going over and kissing him for no reason, we all thought it was so cute!

Our family!

Cute little McKay decked out for the pool, he was so good and happy the whole time.

My Dad and Kyle
What a fun day, we can't wait for Cherry Hill and another water day with everyone!

Father's Day!

Sadie, Devin and my Dad at the Zoo on the Carousel
We had a wonderful Father's Day! Devin was able to sleep in while Sadie and I made French toast with strawberries for Daddy. She colored a card and then we woke Devin up for breakfast and gifts. Sadie had picked out these dog water squirters for Devin at the store to give to him and she was so excited for him to see them. Before he was really even awake she was yelling "Daddy, dogs' and trying to hand them to him. Once he had a look at them she wanted them back immediately, I knew at the store when she picked them out for Daddy that they might have really been for her!! We also got Devin tickets to a Bees Baseball game to go with the guys in my family. That evening most of the Smith family came to our house for a bbq, it was fun to have everyone see our house and all be together. We had a really good day and I am so grateful for the Dads in my life. Devin is such an amazing father, Sadie is one lucky girl. He loves her so much and can't wait to play with her everyday when he gets home from work. We are so blessed to have him. I am also grateful for a wonderful Dad and Father in law, we are so lucky to have them as our dads and grandpa!

National Doughnut Day!


Sadie and I went to Krispy Kreme on Friday for National Doughnut Day and got our free doughnuts. As you can see someone really enjoyed their doughnut! She also really enjoyed watching them make the doughnuts, she kept pacing up and down the glass where they made them saying, "Ooh Mama doughnuts!" Thanks Krispy Kreme!
