Yet another Sneaky Chef Success Story

I seriously can not give the Sneaky Chef recipes enough praise. We tried the Quick Fix for Yellow Cake Mix recipe with our flag cake and it seriously might have been the BEST yellow cake I have ever tasted and bonus it had veggies in it! Click here for the recipe!

check out this video of Oliver using his electric mixer (aka a whisk)

Spelling

Oliver was playing with his red name letters and Miles' brown name letters and we realized something: You can't spell Oliver without LOVE and you can't spell Miles without SMILE. How cute is that?

Already one week old!

How could this sweet baby be one week old already? The time is flying by so quickly. I'm feeling great and he is so sweet. He is a good eater and so far has been a good sleeper. He went down to 7 lb., 4 oz. after we left the hospital but finally my milk came in and he started gaining weight. He was back up to 7 lb. 11 oz. by the time he was 5 days old. I'll be anxious to see his progress at two weeks. We all love this little guy so much!

Miles waving hello

I though this face was too funny not to post

Where is Oliver?

We miss Olivia!

I can't say enough how much we appreciate Olivia coming to stay with us for a couple of weeks. We all miss her, especially Oliver. He still asks for her daily. We love you Olivia!

I had to sneak in these pictures of my new lil' guy!

When Clayton and Oliver took Olivia to the airport, a random pilot gave Oliver this American Airlines sticker as they were waiting in line at security. Oliver was totally thrilled and was so happy to show it to me when they arrived home.

sleep, sleep, and more sleep

Miles kicked Daddy out of his bed; silly Daddy, we have much cozier sleeping places than the closet floor!

just so you don't think Miles' sleeps all the time, here he is awake. Most times he is hungry when he is awake, and those pictures just aren't appropriate for posting! :)

For fun, here my boys are in the same moo cow jammies. They have their own look don't you think?

Daddy looking on at his boys

This is one happy Daddy!

Baby, Baby, I love you!

I have been wanting to post this video for a while now, but I've been having trouble uploading it. This is a video of Oliver singing to his baby brother. So cute!

Loving our new baby!

cousin Robynn made this cute sign for my hospital room door, now it is hanging on his bedroom door. LOVE IT!

The Reeves sent this cute elephant and balloon and Grammy & Gramps sent the flowers. Both so cute and now the elephant and bucket are helping to decorate Miles' unfinished room.

Even though my camera really emphasises the orange in Miles' skin, his skin coloring is so different from the rest of ours...the doctor says he does not have jaundice, he might actually turn out to have olive colored skin. LUCKY!

ONE.OF.MY.FAVORITES!

Here is a more realistic coloring of Miles' skin in natural light

Miles' with my Olives! :)

another massage with Oliver

Miles joins us for massage time

Oliver and I have enjoyed a nightly massage ever since he was Miles' age. Miles joined us for the first time the night we came home from the hospital.

Miles meets Oliver's bunny

I think that is a smile from Miles. He loves his big brother already, too!

Every night Oliver wants to have Mommy and Baby snuggles as he calls them. :)

I had to add this picture of Clayton with his new baby. Love them together!
