mama pictures too

I keep giving Jon a hard time that the same thing that happened with Lydda Grace is happening with Wade.... most of the pictures have him in them and there aren't many with me! Jon has been much more proactive now about taking pictures of my special times with our babies now as well :)

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Well the other day the Caldwell's came over and Amanda was reading to Lydda Grace and stopping after several words. LG would fill in the blanks without missing a beat. So I have decided over the last couple of days to do this with songs. So tonight...



Hope yall all enjoy!

Grace and peace,
Wylie

here's what's happening

Sleeping

Bathing
Cuddling
Learning how to have "tummy time"
I like tummy time much more than my big sister did when she was my age!
More cuddling.....

Lydda Grace LOVES to give Wade his paci. She puts her finger in the middle of it and is always amazed when he starts to suck, then she jerks her hand out of his mouth, with the paci still on her finger and he gets upset.... we're working on it!

And last of all.... walking/strolling...

who's who?

At first glance we knew Wade looked like his big sister... then we started comparing pictures!
In case you can't tell that's Lydda Grace on the left and Wade on the right.

home

We are so thankful to be home all together! We got to come home Tuesday afternoon. Jon's mom came back with us and was going to help us just get settled in but she ended up spending the night and leaving this afternoon, we were very grateful for the help! We are looking forward to the next week and a half for all four of us to be together.

Lydda Grace is clearly loving being a big sister as you'll be able to see from the pictures below! First thing she said when she woke up this morning was "Wade, Wade?" Anytime he is out in his cradle in the den or I'm feeding him she is always right there and loves to find his toes, nose, ears, hat, paci, etc, and point them out.

Getting dressed to go home! It's hard to see but there are little monkeys on the feet :)
Our family of 4 ready to go. I love how Wade is looking at Lydda Grace in this picture!
Lydda Grace always says "hold, hold." She just laughs and gets so excited when she gets to hold him.

No words to say how happy this makes my heart!
Other than "hold" Lydda Grace wants to "play" with Wade all the time. She loved having him down on the floor to play with.

Wade Allen Wylie

How blessed Emily, LG, and I feel to have a new addition to our family. We are giving praise to our King Jesus for such a great blessing. Wade Allen Wylie was born on May 10, 2010 @ 12:19am weighing in at 9 lbs even and 21 inches long.

Our friends Carson and Molly Snipes came to visit. And Carson took some amazing pictures we would like to share. Please visit: http://carsonsnipesphotography.com/Wade_Allen_Wylie.html

More to come!
Grace and peace,
Wylie

water play

Today I gave Lydda Grace a big bowl of water and some of her toy tupperware pieces to play with. She got good practice pouring!

I really wish you could hear the nice squelching sound everytime she moved around due to the vast amount of water she was sitting on!!

Here she is drinking like a kitty cat out of the bowl.
