Smitten....

We have been so incredibly blessed to be Rhyan's Mommy and Daddy for the last 2 years! And to get to be parents again to Mack has just reminded me of how incredibly good God is!

First off, a huge "THANK YOU" goes to Tracy for taking such great care of our sweet firstborn while we were laboring away, trying to have a little brother for her :-) Grandparents would have joyfully have kept her, I know... but honestly, I wanted to be able to have our parents at the hospital and be all about Mack the same way they were able to be all about Rhyan when she was born. Plus, she's so incredibly comfortable with Tracy and it was so good to be able to be away from her for 2 nights and never worry once about if she wondered why she was somewhere different. Overall, Tracy's help just made our life so much easier and we love her for it!

Going home! Finally reunited as a family of FOUR!

This cracks me up... like Rhyan realizes we're taking him home and is thinking "what?!" haha! But seriously, she loves him and has be incredibly sweet with him!

Rhyan holding "my baby" with her "mudder's" help.

And getting the chance to hold him again with her "Ammy". She loves to hold him!

And with the boppy pillow's help, she can do it all by herself! She reminds us constantly that its "my turn!" and just loves on him and "tickles" him and points out all his body parts (calling his umbilical cord his "dirty" and reminding us to "no touch!") Gosh, she's a doll!

And for anyone wondering how she's adjusting, she's just as much of a mess as ever. She's not acted out to get attention (yet?... knock on wood) and has been such a big helper! I had a dream last night that she started sleeping in a big girl bed... we dont have plans for that for now, but i think subconsciously I'm just aware that she's growing up! *sigh*
Eating her after dinner pudding :-) lol

Like Father, like son... handsome, handsome, handsome!

I'm getting him started watching tv early :-) JUST KIDDING!

Mommie and Mama fed us dinner tonight at their house (they offered to bring it here but we thought an outing would be good since they only live .5 mile from here). They offered to keep Rhyan for us after dinner so we could have a little down time with little Mack only so we took them up on it. She took her swimsuit and had a couple of hours of not having to share attention with the baby which was good for her, i'm sure. Plus, it gave her something different to do. Well, they decided to walk her home and when i looked out the window this is what i saw...

Seriously?! Could she BE any more spoiled?! haha!

And i'll leave you all with my favorite pic so far of Mack. I know i'm biased, but i seriously think he's perfect. And gorgeous. And so very sweet. Edible, in fact :-)

If you cant tell, I'm a little smitten :-)
