The new-baby fog has lifted and I am finally posting the details. Click here if you'd like to read about Allie's birth story.
I'll try to blog more often now to catch up through the rest of 2010. I have missed my blogging friends and now I'm committed. I'm back! We are doing so good. The boys are having fun with school and we are still just eating Allie up! She's delicious! Allie is always flashing her big smile and fusses if we don't pick her right up to join us at the dinner table.
This has been a busy 24 hours for her. Yesterday, she rolled over for the first time! Yay! And her first two teeth just broke through today. What a high-achieving 5-month-old cutie we have! She hasn't been feeling too great this past week with the teething and all, so I have been holding her constantly. This song pretty much describes us. ("You and me, baby, we're stuck like glue" - by Sugarland) It is amazing how connected we are when she doesn't take a bottle and I haven't left her with anyone besides Travis (for haircuts and visiting teaching) and Grandma Davis (for last-minute Christmas shopping while we were in Utah). Allie and I met my good friend, Upi, for hot chocolate yestderday morning and it felt so wonderful to get out and enjoy some girl talk.
I am really enjoying this new baby time and feel like I have been able to really enjoy every stage with Allie. I'm not trying to keep my house spotless or have dinner ready by a certain time. I don't even get a chance to put my makeup on most days. But I am feeling more on top of it every week. This has been quite the transition for our family to move from 2 to 3 kids. I am realizing we have a new "normal" in our family. I am excited about this new year and look forward to its possibilities.
O.K., so Travis just read this post and says we can't "eat her up" because then she would be "all gone". So, I'll just say she looks scrumptious and we can't get enough of her. Lol!
Stay tuned for more details and pictures to come...
Love,
Kayelynn

I am so so happy to read and update from you! It was such a huge transition going from 2 to 3 for us too! I know exactly why you haven't blogged. =)
Allie is beautiful, and the boys are getting so big and so handsome! They sure look like they ADORE her. I can't wait to see more photos too. (Which are so great by the way...wonderful job!)
Love it, Kayelynn! I really wish we lived closer to you... It would be fun to just hang out for no reason other than to just hang out, like we did a couple times when you were here in Utah. But I'm glad we have family ties that keep us in contact!
