This week has been a whirlwind as we have started to adjust to life with two children. It is already so much fun and so many memories have already been made. It was very strange to come home with a few hour old baby. We had to check Keller's vitals every four hours and make sure that he was doing ok. It was also really good to be in our own home and let him begin to adjust to our house. The first day was a little interesting as he adjusted to life on the outside. He has done great though and is eating and sleeping well! At first the only place he would sleep was in our bed. He looked so tiny spread out in our queen bed all alone.
Avery, my mom and my aunt Jean all made Keller a birthday cake. Ok really I was the one that was craving a pound cake with white icing but we told Avery it was for Keller's birthday. This week I have managed to eat the entire cake! While we were making the cake Avery dropped the measuring cup into the mixer and cake batter went everywhere. It was priceless!
This is my dad holding Keller. It took him a while to decide he would hold him and wasn't going to break him but he did great. Keller's middle name is after my dad!
Mommy still has to do the chores. I needed to do the laundry and had Keller in my arms. Good thing newborns can sleep anywhere!
Avery has really enjoyed having a brother. It is such a neat experience to watch her fall in love with him. She wakes up in the morning and the first thing she asks is "where is my baby brother?" She wants him to go and do everything she does. She has been such a big help. She gets diapers (goes through the entire pack until she finds one with elmo) and helps change his clothes. A few days ago he even pooped on her legs : ) She screamed non stop for five minutes about how dirty her leg was even after we washed it. I thought she was done with him after that but she keeps coming back for more. 
I am so excited about the two beautiful blessings that God has entrusted us with. Please pray that Mike and I would make the most of everyday that God gives us with our precious family.
