Here's some more pics of our newest addition. Similiar to her older sister, Brooklyn had a high billy rubin count and had to lie on a fiber optic blanket and go back the day after we got her home for another test. Luckily, it didn't go up so she didn't have to be on the blanket for very long.

Welcome Brooklyn Marie!!!

Today we welcomed Ms. Brooklyn Marie into our family. We were blessed with a healthy little girl. Brooklyn was born at 10:05am and weighed 8lbs 3oz. She is 20 1/4 inches long. She had a wonderful first day. She loved her first bath...no, not really. :) She pretty much slept all day long and fussed here and there. She also sucessfully latched on to Mom and was able to feed several times throughout the day...Mom is doing very well. Dad is super proud. Little Rylie also met her sister for the first time...she acted like a big sister too. She wanted to hold the baby almost right from first meeting her. It is going to take her some time to adjust to her sister, but I am sure they will form a tight bond...

Dad's Father's Day Gift

Mom and Rylie bought Dad a new bike for Father's day. Rylie had an absolute blast in the store trying on helmets and little water backpacks. We could not keep her off the little tyke bikes. It will not be long before she will be out riding on her own bike. Until that day, she is a passenger with dad. I think she likes her helmet the best out of everything. She likes to spread her arms out like an airplane when we go down "hills". It is Indiana. It is hard to actually call them hills...

Rylie's Turtle Sand Box...

We finally got around to getting Rylie a sandbox to go with her swing set. She loves the blue and pink sand that we got for it. Now the fun part is getting her to keep the sand in the box and not all around it.
