We welcomed baby Kimber on September 4th. She was 8.6 ounces and was 21 inches long. At 12 noon you were born. The first time I heard you cry I cried too. I was grateful you got here safe. It was hard for me to not be able to hold you right after you were born, and while it didn't seem like a long time for me to recover from the surgery, it ended up being close to four hours! I was pretty nervous because I had to have a csection. I didnt get to see you until about 4:00 p.m., but your dad took good care of you for your first bath. All of the nurses loved your red hair. Maddie came to see you, and on the first day she didnt know what to think about you,except when she went home she gave you a hug.

Since you've been home, Maddie will come close to you and say " aww!" and put her head down on you. At first she would hit you a little bit, but as time has gone on the hitting has stopped. In fact, Maddie tries to feed you a bottle and whenever you cry she'll try to put a binky in your mouth.

You are a good baby, very quiet and really only cry when you are hungry. The past few weeks you've had a little colic but nothing too bad.

Having two babies has been fun, and a lot of work. I was worried I wouldn't have the time or energy for both of you, but it seems to be working itself out. I am just grateful I've been able to have two healthy little girls.

Maddie has been walking a little bit starting at one year old. She also blows kisses, waves goodbye, and  says " hot".  We had your first birthday party where all of your aunts and uncles, and cousins came.  It was an Elmo themed party. You also like to dance and say yes and no. You can climb stairs now as well.

One of my favorite things you do right now Maddie is scrunch up your nose when you don't understand or like something. Your dad calls it your crusty look.

All in all things are going well. We are happy to be in our new house.
