Kylie Kennedy McGee

That's right, our little Kylie was born just one week ago today and I couldn't be happier. She is such a perfect little princess. We arrived at the hospital at 6 am Friday morning for my scheduled c-section and she was born at 8:30 am and weighed 7 lbs exactly. The surgery went really well and was done so quickly. I had an amazing doctor and the nurses at the hospital were wonderful which made the stay pretty good. This time around, I was actually able to get some sleep in there as I wasn't as worried as when I became a first time mom with Cam. Also, it helped that Kylie was a great sleeper and had to be woken up every three hours to feed. We were able to go home on Monday after my spinal headache somewhat subsided (the only horrible part of the stay) and Kylie has since been a doll. Cam was introduced to his sister the day she was born and it was nothing but excitement, kisses and cuddles coming from him then and every day after. I am beyond happy that I now have one of each and cannot wait to see their interaction with each other as they grow up together. As my emotions get the better of me, I can't help but have some tears every time I see older pictures cycle through on my screen saver of Cam and want to just hold and him and let him know that he is still my little baby as well. We are now looking at putting Cam into skating lessons this fall. Can you believe it? A two year old on skates. He is growing up so fast and I know it's only getting better and better as our family evolves. I know there is plenty of happy times and memories to come, so why all the tears?! Lovely hormones. 

Anyway, once we picked up Cam from his Grandma and Grandpa's to bring him home with us, it was as though he grew some more and was speaking a whole lot more also. Sentences flowing, words I have never heard from him before and him making a lot of sense. It's crazy. And to top that off, he no longer uses a soother. Cold turkey from staying with Grandma and Grandpa. He has only asked us for it once for his nap, but James had to say no and that was it, he went off to sleep. Now onto potty training, which after his nap yesterday, said he wanted to go use the potty and succeeded. Maybe it won't be long now!
I'll attach some pics from our week with Kylie, but first a couple of funny quotes from Cam.

As I'm feeding Kylie, Cam asks: Mommy, what are you doing?
Me: I'm feeding Kylie some milk.
Cam: From there? 
Me: Yes, milk from my booby.
Cam: Mommy, I want to drink some.
Me: No, Cam you drink from a bubba (bottle).
Then he proceeds to lift up James' shirt and say: Daddy, I want to drink yours, which James responds: I don't have any, only for Cam to go to Grandma and try to lift her shirt and says: Grandma, I want to drink yours. 

Oh boy!  

Another cute one from last week was that he told his grandparents that Mr. Rain and Mr. Wind should get a time out for breaking the tree in their backyard.

You gotta love that kid!

Ok, now for some pics of Kylie and Cam. :D
