I have a bunch of pictures that I wanted to blog since Kelsey was born. Josh has been such a darling big brother. I love that he takes such good care of her! This is from when she was a day or two old.
I thought it was kind of cute how big the size difference of their diapers is:
Its amazing how fast you can fall asleep when you get so little sleep.
Josh found Kelsey's hat and he wouldn't be satisfied until he got to try it on. We thought it looked like a little yamaka.
She's so teeny! Here she is 2-days old.
Mal came to visit! She's wonderful and we're so happy to live in the same city as her!
Kelsey's first bath: 3 days old
She has been more alert than I remember Joshever being. I love her dark eyes and they are starting to lighten to a beautiful blue.
Josh built a fortress for himself. However, he seemed to think that the blanket would hold him, so after he dove head-first onto it (twice) from the couch, I had to take it down.
Our two babies
Josh is into coloring lately. He learned the word for "colors" in sign and I frequently hear the word even when I can't see him.
For Mother's Day, Steve bought me a Moby wrap. Kelsey loves being held, but its frustrating when my hands are constantly needed. Its been great to feel like a real person again with arms and everything!
Monica came to town! On Saturday (May 14th) the twins took me out to lunch and then to get pedicures. I'm now addicted! We had a great afternoon and then they came back to dote on 'the babies' (to quote Monica). I sure love these girls!

This outfit was given to us by Steve's mom. We think it is just darling! It is a little frustrating to me that babies grow out of those clothes so quickly.
Last weekend, Uncle Scott came to visit. He quickly took up his post of doting on our children.
Super Kelsey!
Friday, we visited the zoo. We just barely got our zoo passes to the Brookfield Zoo and we love using them as much as possible.
Sweet big brother
At the zoo
Tummy time with daddy
Almost 6 weeks--isn't she pretty?
I'm starting to get good at multi-tasking! Here are a few examples.
We LOVE this little girl! She is such a darling and we have loved seeing Josh as a big brother. Although we've lost a lot of sleep and getting ready to go anywhere takes so much longer, its been SO worth it! What a special blessing she has been to us!

Cute pictures! They grow up so fast, she looks way bigger than she was at birth. Which means, we expect you to be very faithful at the blog! Love the Super-Kelsey!
Such cute pics, Nat! What a lovely little fam you have ( :
Also, of course I knew which toes were yours... the ones with barely-there stubby tonails?? Oh yes! That'd be Natalie!! Heehee ( :
Did you know the super Kelsey is a reflex? I learned that at the physical therapist.
She really is pretty. I love her bright yellow bow! Also love the pic of Josh coloring on the floor.
Kate is already into her 3-6 mo clothes.
Julie--thanks for mocking my toes. My family was just up there this weekend and they did the same thing.
Karen--isn't it crazy how big our girls are already?! Kelsey is wearing 3-month clothes and she isn't even 2 months yet! Boo.
Wow, Natalie- I just got updated on your blog and your family is amazing! Kelsey is so beautiful and Josh is so cute as the big brother. I loved the picture of you brushing your teeth while holding her- I totally did that with all my babies-- doing whatever with one hand and holding the newborn with the other . . .
I am so sorry that it hasn't worked out for us to come visit yet- my heart aches to see you guys and to hold my new little neice! Love you guys!
