Quick Update

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. Lydia quickly went from a baby who slept all of the time to a baby who cried all of the time! So, for about 4 weeks that consumed all of our spare time, not to mention the fact that we have a very busy toddler who still needs LOTS of attention.

Lydia is finally doing better. We think she had a bit of colic, and at 3 weeks she had an ear infection and a sore throat. Poor little thing, no wonder she was fussy. Clae has hardly been sick a day in his life, so having a sick baby wasn't something we were used to. She's doing great now, cooing and smiling like Clae did at her age. She's becoming a lot of fun.

Since my last post Clae and Lydia have a new cousin, Abraham David Cass, he's a sweetie, just 7 weeks younger than Lydia (although he's about as big as she is). Kelly, Tiffany, and big brother Kohen are adjusting well.

I'll post pics as soon as I get a free moment (maybe when my kids are in kindergarten), but tonight I'm too tired!

Here's Miss Lydia

Here she is just doing her thing, which these days is pretty much eating, sleeping, pooping, and crying (but not much crying, she's a pretty good baby).

Peek a Boo

Clae is peeking at his baby sister while she's sleeping.

Going Swimming

Grandma and Aunt Carly took Clae to the pool while we were in the hospital. He's striking a pose in his wet suit and aqua socks!

Going Home

Here we are headed home from the hospital.

1st Family Picture

This is our first and only family picture we've taken so far. Mama isn't looking so good, but it's the best picture I could come up with. You can't see Lydia very well but there will be many more pics of her to come.

Lydia Grace

We welcomed our sweet little baby girl into the world last Thursday, May 28. She weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and was 19 inches long. She has dark hair and dark complexion. I think she looks just like her daddy. We're adjusting to being home. It's less overwhelming the second time around and Clae is doing great with her. I'm still recovering from surgery but I think things will get much easier once I'm getting around a little bit better. I'll post a picture soon, she's precious.
