Heidi Autumn Joins Our Family

Our daughter arrived on Tuesday, September 22nd at 10:35 am. She was 7 pounds, 5.5 oz., and 20 inches long. Her birth had been scheduled to be a c-section, which was a good thing because she suprised everyone, including the Drs., by being breech at the last minute.

We were a little worried how Nicholas would take to being a big brother, but it seems as though we had nothing to worry about. So far he adores her, and loves trying to get her to say "hi" to him and giving her a toy to play with. We are settling into a new routine as a family of four and are looking forward to many more fun times together.

21 Months Old & Almost a Big Brother...

Nicholas turned 21 months old on Labor Day. In less than two weeks he will officially be a big brother. We've tried to put out some baby toys and accessories, so we hope he is as ready for the change as we can help him be. In the following video, which we took right before bedtime, you can tell he might be starting to get the idea.

Our summer is officially over for 2009; Nicholas is back to daycare and I'm back to teaching.
