Jade - 3 weeks

Jade was 3 weeks old yesterday and is doing great! She has been a good baby so far, had her 2 week check up and she was up to 7 lbs 10 oz (ironically Julia's birth weight) and 7 oz over birth weight so that was great to see. She is getting up twice a night which at this point is very manageable! Julia is still doing great with her and we have had a chance to get out and do some fun things as a family. We made our first trip to the zoo with Jade when she was a week and a half, then we went to Mt. Michael's Fall Festival last weekend. Julia had a great time this year, rode the horses, jumped in the bouncer, hayrack ride and carnival games - too fun!

Jade is looking a lot like Julia did at her age, major differences being less hair, very blond eyebrows (Julia's were dark), and more almond shaped eyes. We'll see how different these two become as time goes on! We are so excited to watch them grow up together.

Baby Jade!

We are thrilled to announce the birth of our second darling daughter. . Jade Victoria. She was born September 7th, 3 weeks early, but weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long! She is 8 days old today and has been a sleeping angel . . we are waiting for that to change here anytime :) Julia has been a great big sister. She loves giving Jade hugs and kisses and holding her several times a day. She has been a great helper too, getting diapers and blankets for Jade whenever we ask her to! Kyle went back to work yesterday and today is his first day on call so we'll see how us 3 girls hold up on our own! Thanks everyone for the well wishes and we'll keep posting some updates!
