Kellen Loves his Baby Sister

Kellen has been so excited about having Sarah around. He absolutely adores her, and always wants to have her with him. The moment he wakes up, he asks to go see Sarah. He always wants to go see her in her crib, and if she is awake, he wants her to sit on his lap. He likes to "tickle" her nose, hold her hand, and puts his fingertip in her mouth for her to suck on. Basically, he just loves his baby sister! (He also loves his cowboy hat that Daddy bought him for "wacky hat day" at daycare!)

My Big Boy

For Kellen's 4th birthday, Shawn and I bought him his first two-wheel bicycle! He has been so proud and excited about his new bike! He has been having lots of fun going out for bike rides "just like a big boy" (as he says). I can't get over how big he is getting. He is such a sweet little guy!

Kellen loved having Lita up for a couple of days while Sarah was being born. Here he is having a snack (and a laugh) with Lita while enjoying the amazing weather!

Kellen and Daddy went for a long, long hike this past weekend. Since the weather was awesome, Kellen only needed his sweater (and boots to tackle the mud!) - they went out for about 3 hours!

Sarah's First Bath

Sarah had her first bath two days ago. She was really good about the whole thing - although, she was pretty unsure about what was going on. Here is Lita giving Sarah lots of lovings before she started her bath.

So, this is a bath - not too bad.

Sarah Enjoys the Great Weather

Since the weather has been so incredibly warm, we decided it would be nice to take Sarah outside to enjoy the nice weather So, we bundled her all up, and headed outside. Here she is wearing her new sweater - she was asleep the entire time we were outside, but I am pretty sure she liked the outdoors!

Smiles for Lita.

Precious.

Can you spot Sarah in all of the blankets?!?!?

Kellen is a Big Brother!!!

She is here! Sarah Grace Sinclair was born on Wed March 7, 2012 at 1:56 pm. She weighed 6 pounds, 5 ounces, and is 19.5 inches long. And, we are completely in love with her already! Here are some pictures of Sarah's first couple of days.

Proud daddy.

Sleeping beauty.

On Thursday, Kellen and Lita came to meet Sarah. Kellen was really excited to finally meet his baby sister. The moment they came in, he got a huge smile on his face, and wanted to touch her "baby fingers".

....and tickle her.

I think Lita loves Sarah! Lita was pretty excited to finally hold her newest grandchild.

Our first family picture - all four of us!

Perfect.

Lita helping out on night duty with Sarah's feedings

Kellen has been fascinated with everything that Sarah does. He loves to watch her be fed, have her diaper changed, or just watch her lying on the bed.

Kellen is such a good big brother. He wanted to help Lita feed Sarah a bottle.

True beauty....my babies.

Love it!

Hello, beautiful girl.

Burp time.

Happy 4th Birthday, Beautiful Boy

Yesterday was Kellen's 4th birthday (hard to believe that it has already been 4 years!). So, Kellen and I had a fun day together at home. One thing that we did was bake a yummy chocolate cake for his birthday (nothing like putting him to work on his own birthday cake!). Here is Kellen trying out some of the cake mix.

Kellen loves to help out in the kitchen - he helped with everything - here he is pouring the milk into the cake mix.

And here he is using the mixer to stir it all up.

Of course, the best part of making a cake, is licking the batter off of the mixer!

Delicious!

Once the cake was done baking, I iced the cake and Kellen was in charge of the decorations...so, he decided on lots of sprinkles!

And, here is the final product! Okay, so I am not that great at writing on cakes! Don't you just love the way Kellen put sprinkles on the cake!?!!?

He was very proud of his hard work.

For dinner, we had one of Kellen's favourite meals - spaghetti and meatballs! Here is Kellen enjoying his dinner. Check out all of the "sprinkle cheese" (grated cheese) that Kellen put on his spaghetti - it is all the white stuff you see on his food!

"Happy birthday, to Kellen....."

Do you think he was enjoying his birthday cake?!?!?

Enjoying some lovings from Daddy.
