Proud Big Sister!!!

Blakely's response to her new little brother couldn't be better. Me on the other hand-well that's another story. She is not happy with me to say the least! I have been what they call shunned. I can't say that it hasn't made me cry, but I do know that she is just confused. She loves Parker though, so for that I am so grateful.

Happy Birthday Parker (& Kaki)!

Clint and I are thrilled to introduce Mr. Parker Thomas Lyle to our family. He was born at 2:04 in the afternoon weighing a whopping 9 pounds 4 ounces and 22 inches long. I must say, I am so happy to have the delivery behind me! I went in for my 39 week appointment last Friday & Dr. Sharp and I decided to go ahead and be induced on Monday which also happened to be my Mom's birthday! What a happy day! So here he is...

We are all so in love with our sweet boy!

22 Months Old!

With only 2 months shy of 2 years old, our sweet little girl is growing up so fast. We managed to have some fun this month even though I was about to pop!

We went to the zoo!

St. Patrick's day

Notice Hippo and Raffe sitting at the table together!

Blakely has grown so much this month. She understands so much of what we say to her now. There are so many things she will answer yes and no. She names so many things at this point I can't even begin to list them. She is facinated with birds, bees and really anything outside. I know it sounds weird but she loves animal's tails. She giggles so much over Zizi's tail and will grab it any chance she gets. Lately we have found that our great eater has turned into such a picky little one. She will not eat anything! She is really fun these days and can't wait to see how she will react with our new addition over this next month.

Zoo with Kaki

Kaki had off all week for Spring Break so we decided to pack up and head to the zoo! Blakely had a blast seeing all of her favorite animals with her Kaki. Just take a look at this diva in her sunglasses! Also, just a side note-here I am at 1 day short of 39 weeks. This is pretty much the only picture I have of me in this pregnancy-whoops!

21 Months

 I have really been procrastinating doing any Blog posting lately but I did want to get in a few comments about Blakely this month.

So here are a few things our sweet 'big' girl has been up to lately:
1) Walks on her tippy toes all the time
2) No longer needs her paci-hasn't asked for it since it went bye bye. Raffe on the other hand is ALWAYS in her arms. He goes absolutely everywhere with us!
3) Sleeping in her 'big girl' bed
4) Dances around in circles with or without music
5) Sings the abcs. she is only saying A B C & D so far. When she wants to here the song you will here ab, ab, ab!!! Also, if I tell her to sing for Momma she will start with ABCD...
6) Throws fits OFTEN! She drops to the floor and starts crying, rolling, & kicking.  These fits are from items not fitting into places she wants them i.e. Raffe not fitting into a specific bag she wants him in.
7) We are really seeing a picky eater these days! I can't find anything that she will consistently eat except for sweets. If a veggie gets even close to her she will scream 'no no'. She loves fruit for the most part (since it is sweet) Meat is another out of the question food. I'm hoping this is a phase and she will go back to eating great.

I guess that's it for today. I am expecting our sweet boy in the next couple of weeks so I gotta be honest, you won't be hearing from me until after he is born! Say a prayer for me!
