2 Weeks... 2 Kids


It's been a little over 2 weeks since we brought Rivers home from the hospital, and adjusting to life as a family of four has been fun but crazy. We are so thankful to my sister for her help before Rivers was born and to my mom for her help these last 2 weeks after his arrival. This past Thursday we took mom back home and stayed for a weekend visit in Mississippi. Rivers got to meet lots of family members, and we had a great time seeing everyone!


While we were there Madeline started saying "bird". The video shows how proud she is (and we are) of her new word. She is getting to be such a big girl walking around everywhere and starting to talk.

Rivers has been such an easy going baby. We thought Madeline was laid back, but Rivers is even more... if that is possible. He has been a great sleeper and pooper. He loves to be snuggled up to and is such a sweet boy. He is growing bigger by the day and has made the transition for us having a second child as easy as possible! Its funny how different having a boy is already though. He grunts all the time, and I am definitely having to learn how to change a boy's diaper.

Here are some pics of our first 2 weeks at home and our first road trip. The kids did fabulous, and we couldn't ask for better little travelers!
