Life as a Family of Four!

Life for the past two weeks has been new for us...we are now a family of four and we are loving every minute of it! Having two children under the age of two is definitely tiring, but super rewarding! Maddux is adjusting to his sister very well. He enjoys kissing her and feeding her...as you can see. He even practices on Elmo...his best friend! Over the past two weeks, it has been amazing to watch Maddux mature and develop even more as a little boy. Here and there we can see his independence starting to shine through as he realizes that he now has to share his life with his sister!

Addison is doing wonderfully as well. She is up to 6lbs 10oz already...she gained almost a whole pound in one week, which for a preemie is a lot! Her doctor was very pleased...as were her mommy and daddy! She is enjoying tummy time and really starting to develop a strong neck. I could have told you when I carried her that she was a tough little girl!

Since Addison was a preemie, her doctor doesn't want her out and about in public, so I had to have a little photo session at home to capture these precious moments during her first month of life. After she's a month old, then we will be more free to go out! Until then, we are just enjoying family time at home. The first several pictures below are from our photo session...the rest of the pictures are simply everyday life in the Kettlebar home! Enjoy!

  1. Those are SO good! It looks like a professional photo shoot to me. And again, she is absolutely adorable! I love her tiny little hands, her perfect head of hair and her little wrinkly back. She's got some growing to do to fit into her own skin!
