Kaylie's Baby Blessing

Kaylie was blessed yesterday by her father. Grandpa Adamson, Great Uncle Robbie, Uncle Joe, Uncle Andy, and our good friend Darrell also participated. The blessing Bert gave her was beautiful and we had a great time with family afterward (thanks grandpa and grandma for coming down from Spokane for it!).

And here is our first family picture.


Emma with Kaylie. I was having a hard time getting Emma to sit still enough so most of the pictures are blurry


And here are two pictures of all the women (in my direct line) who have worn that blessing dress. My great-grandmother made it for my great aunt about 100 years ago. Great-aunt Helen wore it, my grandmother, my mother, my aunt, myself, my sister, a cousin, and my two daughters.

Sisters at 6 weeks

I finally got a picture of the two girls. Emma loves her baby sister and loves to help with diaper changes, getting dressed and shoving binkies in her mouth. Emma hasn't been too excited about how much Kaylie wants to be held however and has gotten a little clingy.

Kaylie Ann Adamson

Here she is! Born Aug 8, 2009 at 5:02 pm, 7 lbs. 8 oz, 18 inches. We're home now and Emma is obsessed with stuffing binkies in her new sister's face. I have yet to get a picture of the two of them together.

Emma's zoo

Emma has a zoo in her crib. When I put her down to go to sleep she asks for several things. A baby, a moose, a cow, a bear, a dog and her blanket. Last night she wanted two blankets. It's getting a little crowded in there. I'll have to remember to take a picture and post it. The upside is when she wakes up in the morning she'll sit and chat with them for a while so I can sleep for an extra hour or so. The downside is she'll sometimes chat instead of going to sleep. But at least she is not crying.

Birthdays!

It's about time I get around to posting something about Emma and Bert's birthdays on the 2nd. We had a small party that night with some friends and family, barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs and had cake and ice cream. Of course I didn't bother to get my camera out until the very end, so no pictures of Emma blowing out her candles. Just some of her playing with some new toys. She was obsessed with the play cleaning kit grandma got her.



She thought the scrub brush made a good hairbrush, then she thought it was a toothbrush.
