Thank Goodness for Grandmas!!

When Bridger turned 2, we were excited to be able to keep track of his age by years (or even years and a half). However, we have now reverted back counting the weeks and months for Kacy and after just one week can already see a difference in how much she has grown. 
We got Kacy and Bridger to hold still just long enough to snap some photos of them together and by themselves. Below, Bridger apparently felt this was the best way to remove his sock. 

It has been interesting to see how Bridger responds to Kacy. In the hospital, it was totally not interested in looking at her at all. Since coming home, he will give her a good morning kiss (after we suggest how nice that would be) then go on with the rest of his day not too interested in what she is doing. I am grateful that he has not exhibited any hostile behavior toward her, but do find his indifference interesting.  Every once and a while he will be holding a favorite toy (a bear, ball or car) and look right at Kacy and firmly state: "My Bear!" So, this may just be the start of something interesting...

Here Kacy, let me give you a rose and a kiss. Then will you please stop crying?

Here's a little moment where they both happened to have the same facial expression. 

Kacy is showing off her long dark hair with the combed out straight up look. 
Bridger, where is your happy face?
This is the point where Bridger started repeating "All done now. All done now..." 

This week we are so grateful for GRANDMAS!! We have been lucky enough to have both my mom (from AZ) and Jim's mom (from OH) in town. They have been a huge help in entertaining Bridger, making meals, helping clean, entertaining Bridger, snuggling with Kacy, giving support & feedback, and entertaining Bridger. I love Bridger and his energy so much, but, well, he is two and I just do not have the energy right now to give him the stimulation and attention he would need. 

You can tell Bridger loves his Grandmas, too. Who wouldn't love waking up to a tickle-fest and lots of laughs? 

Despite having 4 adults in the house (2 parents, 2 grandmas), it seems that Bridger still feels the need to fend for himself at times.  One evening, we were taking a little too long to put the pasta on the table for dinner, so Bridger poured himself a nice big helping of Parmesan Cheese and started shoveling spoonfuls in his mouth. Yum?! He actually really seemed to like it and was proud to have made it himself. I can not begin to fully understand the taste buds of a two year old, but hey - if he likes it, and it is not play dough - I can't complain. 

One final note; Thank you everyone for your sweet notes, messages, prayers and well wishes. We feel so blessed with the outpouring of love and support we have recieved. Our cups are full with joy at the moment. Thank you again! We love and appreciate our family and friends so much.
