Kaylyn's first week home

This is Todd's Grandpa Cook--He loves babies. He would have visited sooner if he hadn't been sick!!
Karla doesn't want to be left out.

This is Todd's Grandma Cook. We have loved living close enough to get to know them better. They are amazing people. Grandma Cook crocheted her traditional teddy bear blanket.


Kaylyn is a thumb sucker!! Her fists were always in front her face in her ultra sound. So I wonder how long she has been at this bad habit. But it is so cute to watch. We are trying to give her a pacifier (they are easier to lose when the time is right), but she is not having anything to do with them just yet.

Grandma K with Kaylyn. We spent our first weekend home at Grandma Mann's house, and then Grandma K came out to take care of us. She loved on the Girls. Trevor took the girls out to play often. Grandma K cleaned my house and left me with a freezer full of ready made meals. And She kept telling me to sit down and take a nap. She also loved on all us. We miss her help, but we miss her company more. Why does Rigby have to be so far from the Tri-cities?

Trevor was feeling a bit left out. He likes to sit on his mom lap--even still. He was a huge help too. He took the kids out to run in the sprinklers or play on the swings or throw rocks in the canal. He also helped his mom cook or clean some.


and he held the baby. The girls love their uncle Trevor. Although Kaylyn decided he wasn't much help when she was hungry!


This is Todd, Trevor, Karla, Kylee (and Grandma K not pictured) playing at the kiddy pull in Howard Amon park. The girls loved getting out for a while. I didn't dare get closer for fear Kaylyn would be splashed.


And here are the three sisters. The most asked question right now "is it my turn to hold the baby?" They love their sister. Here Karla is telling Kylee a secret. Too Cute!! This morning I put the baby down on a blanket, and Kylee sat and played around her and gave her toys, ect. Karla and Kylee frequently check on their baby sister too.


Grandma K said that pictures just don't do justice to how tiny Kaylyn is. She weighs 5lbs 3oz at her last doctor appointment. So we put Kaylyn down next to Kylee's doll. Can you tell which is which? And this outfit is a newborn outfit--it drowns her. Grandma Mann bought a premee outfit, Aunt Dot bought a premee outfit, and Karla and Kylee bought one to bring her home in. And then we borrowed a few premee outfits from my cousin. But this was taken before we had those.
