4 Weeks Old

Today Emma is 4 weeks old. That went by really fast! I am loving and cherishing every moment I get to spend with my little ones. Life couldn't be any better! We had a busy day full of new visitors. Emma got to meet Dave, Luis, and Grandpa J and see her Sadie again. What a day!

4 weeks old!

Meeting Luis (I have to say he looks more comfortable holding a baby this time around!)

Meeting Dave King (soon to be father in August 2011 - yay!)

21 Months Old Today!

Oh my goodness! I can't believe that Caden is already 21 months old. Seriously...where has the time gone? I have enjoyed each and everyday with my Caden Boy. Some days are better than others, but he makes me smile eveyday :) I love that little guy so much!

Saying cheese!!!

Always something in those little hands

Discovering gravity!

Preschool Visit Trauma!

Here are some pictures from February 17-23
On February 22, we went to visit a potential preschool for this fall. It is called Marina Tots. So while we were there, Caden was playing with a big truck by himself and then a little girl came up to him and tried to take it out of his hands. He wasn't quite sure what to do...the first time he just ran away, but the second time, the little girl pried the truck out of his hands. (I think she was a little bit naughty...and why didn't her mother do anything about her little bullying daughter???) He immediately burst into huge crocodile tears...it broke my heart. I guess these are the social skills he will be learning next year in preschool.
Caden is very into the phone and loves to play with it saying "he-oh" (hello)

Always has 2 things in his hands! Love that!

We may have a thumb sucker!

First time on her tummy time mat! Emma liked it for about 2 minutes!

Kisses from Dada at dinner!

Valentine's Day

Today I am feeling mixed emotions...Mom and Bryan have to go back to Oregon today. I am so sad to see them go. I am also wondering how I can do this on my own. I guess you just take it one day at a time. My mom's best words of advice upon leaving were "You can do this Jamie. You are a wonderful mother. Your biggest job is to love those babies everyday and keep them safe. It's okay to have pajama days!" I just wanted to say thanks for all that you did Mom! You are the best and I love you!!!

Caden kissing Emma! So Sweet!!!

Beautiful flowers from my Hubby!

Visitors!

This evening Malcom and Kelly came by to meet Emma! They had just finished playing the Presidio Golf Course. It was great to see them.

Sleepy girl!

Oh!!! I think someday they'll have one of their own!

Meeting Bapa

Well...I think Bapa is in love! So is Emma!!!

Announcement

We had fun taking photos for Emma's birth announcement...this is the winner!

Goings on from week 2

Well, the best thing is that Emma is a great sleeper! She eats and then goes right back to sleep at night. I couldn't ask for anything better than that! I feel like a whole new woman this time around being pretty well rested. Having two children is such a blessing. I love it and couldn't be happier!

Multi-tasking (I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of this)

Melts my heart everytime...Caden giving kisses to his baby sister!

Caden got a great new towel from Aunt Debbie! He looks like a little Yoda!

Daddy and his baby girl!

I wonder what she is thinking about!

First Bath!

I love that my mom has been here to show me the ropes again...like how to bathe an infant! Emma's umbilical cord came off today, so she got to have her first "real" bath in her little tub.

She liked it!

Just relaxing

All done!

First Week Home

Here are some pictures of Emma's first week home...Enjoy!
On February 3, we had Emma's first appointment with Dr. Aicardi. She also had her first Hep B shot. Of course she turned red and screamed (just like Caden did with his first shot). I was more prepared this time around and it wasn't quite so shocking! Emma had lost about 10 oz since she was born, so we had to go in for a weight check again on February 8. Dr. Aicardi was thrilled that she had gained 6 oz. in 5 days so we won't have to go back to the doctor until her one month check up. So far, so good!
My two little loves! Kind of fun to say two!

Asleep on the changing table

Sweet baby girl!

Smiling while she sleeps!

Let the balancing act begin...

Caden loves his "Bay" (baby) sister!

Emma likes the bouncy chair!

Trying out the pacifier too!

Love that face!!!

Emma's First Day Home

We were ready to come home! The hospital was nice, but we were ready for our own beds and being home with our Caden boy too. I missed him while we were there!
