Don't be hatin

BUT, Caroline is the world's cutest baby! (I'm not at all biased)

Tyler FINALLY got a visit last night...

from the tooth fairy! Although, losing a tooth wasn't exactly how he envisioned it. On Sunday Mike noticed Tyler was sporting some funky shark teeth. His permanent teeth were growing in behind his baby teeth. His baby teeth weren't loose at all, and we were afraid he was going to have 2 rows of teeth. I took him to the dentist and they decided to pull the baby teeth. Tyler got bubble gum scented laughing gas and watched Sponge Bob. It honestly didn't even faze him. He was just excited for the tooth fairy. Tyler wanted to sleep in Austin's room last night so he had Mike send the tooth fairy this e-mail:

Dear Tooth Fairy,
The dentist pulled two of Tyler's teeth today. He was such a good boy and didn't even cry. He wants you to know that he will be sleeping in Austin's bed and that the two teeth will be in a white container with a red string attached under his pillow. Tyler is sleeping on the right side of the bed and is wearing a dark blue shirt and bakugan pants. I will leave some oreos for you in the kitchen. Thank you.
Love, Tyler

The tooth fairy came, and all is well!

Austin also had a tooth incident last month. While he was wrestling Tyler his mouth hit Tyler's hard head. Austin had a loose tooth. It has now firmed back up, but turned a nice shade of gray. Just lovely! (It actually isn't too noticeable)

We are in love! Now even Tyler is under her spell. He can make her smile, and he loves to talk to her. Austin loves her a little too much sometimes. She couldn't be any cuter!

Bozo

That is what Mike calls her when she wears this outfit- Bozo the Clown. I think it's cute!

We are surviving here, actually pretty well. If it weren't for the lack of sleep it would be perfection. Austin is hilarious with her. He speaks to her in such a high pitched voice that only dogs can hear him. It is so funny. He loves his baby sister. Tyler every once in a while throws her a, "hi Caroline". He even went and tried to console her last night while I was helping Austin; that is progress. Caroline is smiling, eating, spitting up, sleeping erratically and being cuddled. Sheri needs a solid 8 hours sleep and a tummy tuck, and Mike needs more hours in a day. Life couldn't be better...

So far so good...

Knock on wood, Caroline has been a very easy baby so far. She is so sweet, and rarely cries yet. It's been so fun just holding her and dressing her up in bows and girly stuff. She's been sleeping a ton and eating good amounts. She also has a very efficient digestive system! It will be an adjustment getting used to 3 kids with three different schedules and needs. My only concern right now is how to handle all 3...

A Baby Story

Caroline Blake King

Jan. 27, 7:29 pm

7 lbs. 10 oz.

19 1/2 inches

She's here. Oh, and if we told you she was 17 1/2 inches long (midget-like), the first nurse was wrong. She has lots of dark hair, but most importantly, she actually IS a GIRL! I was induced starting the IV at 4:30 ish in the afternoon. Water was broken at 6:00, and she was out by 7:30. Only 10 minutes of pushing (much better than w/ Tyler and Austin), so she actually has a normal looking head. Best birth by far! So far, she's sleeping and eating like a champ. Austin is so cute w/ her. Tyler hasn't quite taken to her yet, but we are sure that he will eventually get used to her.

Getting ready to come home

Christmas '09

It was a quiet Christmas at our house this year, just our little family. Both boys were excited. Tyler even asked to go to bed at like 6:30 on Christmas Eve. They both woke up early, but let us sleep until 7:30 or so before we headed downstairs. Here are a couple of pictures of Christmas morning.

They wouldn't stand still on the stairs, so this was the best I got.

Mike gets three whole weeks off of work, so he's getting bored. He made us a nice place to plant a garden this spring. He's gotten all of my projects that I wanted done, so we'll see what he comes up with next week. Tyler finally learned to ride a bike w/ two wheels. I realized it was about time when my friend's 3 year old could do it. When Mike took him to learn, Tyler basically hopped right on his bike and took off. I guess there is something to be said to waititng until they are 6, right? Austin has been in 7th heaven having Daddy home. It will be a rough transition when Mike has to go back to work. As for me I am sick of being pregnant. That's all I'll say about that. Please pray I go a little early. We are all ready for this baby, except mentally. It's hard to wrap our minds around actually having a little girl in the house, but I can't wait!

We love this family!

If you have a second check out our friend's new blog. They are hoping to adopt their 3rd child, and I can't think of a better home for a child. We think the world of the Hirts, and so does everyone who knows them! We are thinking about you Jon and Maggie, and you will be in our prayers.

Go here, and pass it on
