Family Update

Zoe and Cole are doing really good, they are both growing and are healthy. Zoe loves her baby brother! Aaron and I are doing well just trying to get everything ready for the move, Aaron and I just recently started this new workout regime called p90x and its killer. Its feels like training for a marathon again! I will post our 30 day before and after pictures when we get to 30 days.

Cole's blessing

Cole was blessed this past Sunday and all of Aaron's family and my family was able to be there for it. Aaron's great-grandpa was able to be in the blessing circle which was really cool.

Zoe pretending to be a mom

Zoe was giving her baby a bath she loves to play mom. She also flooded her bathroom floor in the process.

Cole is starting to smile

He loves to coo and smile now, Zoe was never a very smiley baby, she was good but not as easy to please.

Update and Granpda Kirks 100th birthday

This past weekend was Aaron's great-grandpa's 100th birthday! We celebrated on both saturday and sunday! We love Grandpa Kirk! Also I finally got Zoe and Cole to both cooperate for a picture! They are both happy and healthy. I thought Zoe was a good baby but Cole makes her look fussy! Seriously the guy hardly cries he just fusses a little until you get a bottle in his mouth or pat his back. We love our kids! Zoe has the cutest personality her new thing to do is to ask me and Aaron about 100 times a day," but why?" example:

Me: Zoe don't go into the street without holding my hand

Zoe: but why

Me: because you could get hit by a car and get hurt

Zoe: but why

Me: because I said so Zoe

Zoe: but why

It gets a little old but she is just learning!

Update

The past two weeks have gone by so fast. Cole has been such a good baby, really I don't know what I did to deserve a baby that only wakes up once between 10 and 6 it is heaven! Zoe loves Cole and she is such a good helper. She has been having fun going to the pool and swimming all summer! As for me and Aaron we are loving having two kids! Aaron is going to be starting his job in Vegas in the next month and he will be working shifts about every other weekend till we move down there in November.

Zoe and Cole plus 4th of July

So Cole has been home for 6 days now and he is such a great baby. The NICU had him on a feeding schedule so he eats and sleeps great for a newborn. He wakes up twice to eat at night which is nice for Aaron and I because we can switch of feedings. Zoe loves Cole and is so helpful. She is so protective of him and gets anxious when anyone besides Aaron or I hold him. My family also came down last weekend for the 4th of July and to see Cole. Zoe loves when they visit, she gets so spoiled!

He is coming home

Cole is coming home tonight!!!! We are thrilled beyond belief! Zoe is so excited that she finally gets to meet her baby brother! I can't wait for my crib in my bedroom to not be empty anymore! I will post pictures tomorrow of his homecoming!! Thank you everyone for your prayers and faith on our families behalf.

Cole update

Cole is now on room air and is just working on his feedings. He has to take all his feedings by bottle for 48 hours and gain weight to come home. We are hoping that he will be home within the next week. Thank you all for the support and prayers in Cole's behalf, it means the world to me and Aaron that we have so many friends and family members supporting us through this.
