Say Cheese

Here is Sierra's first smile captured with the camera . . .

Yay Sierra!

Sierra slept through the night for the first time last night! 5 weeks old. Yea Sierra!!! Have we mentioned how much we love this little girl??? Have we mentioned what a precious, easy baby she is??? Dan got up to make sure she was still breathing around 3:00 AM. She was. She ate around 7:30 PM and then went all the way until 5:45 AM. Kaiyah probably had something to do with her waking up then, since they now are sharing a room. Let's hope she keeps this up! She is smiling a lot now. Hopefully we'll catch that in picture form sometime soon!

Zeke Dances

Today after church Dan, Renee and Zeke went to Starbucks for a drink. Zeke started dancing to the music . . .

Recently overheard . . .

Kaiyah trying to take the basketball away from Zeke: "Mine!"

Zeke: "No mine!"

Kaiyah: "Mine!"

Zeke: "We share it, that's the rules of Jesus!"

promptly followed by . . . "Mine!"

Zeke and Kaiyah Watching TV...

Tami got this video the other day of Zeke and Kaiyah watching TV together. He loves his sister!

Beside lying in the floor, they also like to sit on the arm of the couch.

Zeke's Blanket....

Well, it's been over two years since we divided Dan's former blanket into two for him and Zeke. If you don't remember, you can read about that if you click here.

Since then, we lost Zeke's little one and Dan got his own king size knit blanket, so Zeke inherited Dan's portion of the big blanket. And two years later, Zeke is just as attached to it, but we don't usually take it out with us anymore. Zeke says he will get rid of his blanket at some point, but not yet. We don't think he'll have a choice before too much longer. The blanket is in a lot worse shape than it once was, and Zeke likes to pull on its strings, so that doesn't help either. Anyway, here's a picture of all the strings Dan cut off of it today. That's Zeke in the background, lying on his blanket and sucking his thumb.

Happy Birthday, Kaiyah!

Kaiyah's birthday was this past Saturday and we had a lot of fun celebrating. We had doughnuts in bed from Krispy Kreme, Tami made a beautiful Boots cake, and we had lots of friends come over and celebrate with us. Fun stuff! Here are a few pictures. For more, click here.
