Priceless

I can't even begin to describe how this picture makes me feel. The Lord has blessed us with 2 healthy children and we are so thankful. I wondered how a mom could love another child after your precious first baby, but you just do, and it is amazing! Seeing Brady with Anderson is the sweetest thing, as he is in this picture. He loves giving kisses to everyone and always includes Anderson. He is a wonderful big brother!

Party time!

Anderson is such a sweet, easy baby....except for the first 2 nights! The first night was pretty rough, but our second night home, Eric had to stay at the hospital for a delivery, so my mom said she would stay in the room with me to help. Little did she know that Anderson AND Brady wanted to have a slumber party! Anderson didn't really sleep until 4:30am or so and Brady woke up at 2:00 am! She was such a good sport and we ended up laughing most of the night and having snacks just like a slumber party!
Luckily the 3rd night he slept most of the night and I even had to wake him up to feed him at one point! Since then he has slept great and we have too!

Going Home!

Anderson was born on tax day, so my mom (Nana) found this onesie that fit the day perfect! It was also my dad's (Gramply) birthday on the 15th!













He was all ready to go home! He looked SO SMALL in the carseat.











Brady was so excited to see Anderson and show him our house!

Anderson Cole is here!

Anderson Cole arrived on April 15th at 11:22 am! I was supposed to be induced that morning, but the day before started having contractions and decided to go to the hospital. Luckily they just let me stay instead of sending me home for a few hours. My doctor broke my water around 6:30 am, had my epidural and started pushing at 11:17. 3 pushes later he was here! Praise the Lord for epidurals!!! Eric decided at the last minute that he DID want to deliver, and he did fantastic!



















A few minutes later Brady was able to come in and meet his new baby brother. He was so sweet and gave him several kisses and even offered Anderson some of his snack. We were able to go home on Wednesday afternoon and enjoy our new family of 4! Thanks for all the prayers during all of this. We feel extremely blessed to have 2 healthy children.

Opening Day...A Red Sox fan???

On opening day of baseball season, Brady found his Red Sox hat given to him by his Nana, Gramply, and Uncles TJ and Kevin. Unfortunately they moved to New Hampshire and have become Red Sox fans. Thankfully however, they are NOT Patriots fans! GO COLTS!

Easter 2008

Happy Easter! ( a few weeks late) We have finally gotten our blog updated. We are less than 2 weeks away from meeting Anderson Cole! I am being induced on April 15th, unless he decides to make an appearance before that! This picture is at 36 weeks.

Brady is doing great...learning new words everyday! He loves to play outside (all the time!), hates to sleep, and really enjoys eating...pretty much everything!
