Kennedy is a Big Sister!!!

We are thrilled to announce that our family welcomed Caleb Alexander on August 6, 2012 at 6:50pm!  He was born at home with the same wonderful midwife and doula team who have been such a big part of our lives since Kennedy's birth.  Just as Kennedy's birth was, Caleb's arrival into the world was an amazing experience that we will cherish forever.  There was nothing like laying in my own bed, surrounded by people I love, and introducing Kennedy to her baby brother for the first time.  I have a few photos from the past week, and will definitely try to get back into the swing of blog updates soon.  Right now we're adjusting to life as a family of four.  Kennedy is more and more interested in her brother every day.  She's still adjusting to how to be gentle with him, but it's a tough concept to learn for anyone her age.  I'm sure she'll get there with time! 

A Sunday afternoon swim, completely unaware of how much life is about to change.

24 hours later, "swimming" in the tub while mommy was in labor.

 Taking a break from playing with grandma to visit mommy.

Mommy finally meets Caleb!

 

 Kennedy met Caleb, and went back to eating, so daddy took him to see her.

I'm the big sister, it's a tough job, but I can do it. 

Daddy and Caleb.

Kennedy loves playing with Uncle Sam.

Kennedy was less interested in Caleb and more interested in her "big sister toys."

A girl can never have too many purses.

 

When Caleb cries....Kennedy yells at him.  It's pretty cute.

This big sister stuff is pretty cool after all.

Catching up on sleep...Kennedy still has to teach her brother about sleeping.
