New Toy

Babies require a lot of gear.  Add another baby into the mix and you need almost twice the amount of gear.  Our most recent acquisition -aside from the baby swing which is AWESOME- is this monstrosity.

A double Sit-n-stand Stroller.  I found a great deal on Craigslist (always scary) and thought Jonah might like to ride along behind the baby for some extra excitement.  Our first outing took us to Target.  Bad idea.  The minute we stopped on an aisle, Jonah hopped right off and decided to do some of his own shopping.  Plus it's HUGE, even collapsed.  We won't be able to take it on vacations, which bums me out, unless we rent a bigger vehicle.  No big deal though, I still love our first stroller better (pictured in orange above), and am patiently waiting until the day when neither are needed.

As an added bonus, check out Jonah's all new Photo Gallery.  All his own shots...no editing needed! :)

Cheers!

Catchin' some ZZZZZ's

I've been told that I need to 'sleep when baby sleeps', however I would have missed this beautiful sight today.  All my babies sleeping....

Bubba snoozin'- he's taking up the entire bed

Jonah also taking up the bed- just like Daddy.

Lucas sleeping like a baby.
Gaining 6 ounces in two days is tough work!

Okay, now I'm tired.  I'm going to sleep some too.  On the couch of course! :)

Our Newest Addition

Say Hello to Lucas James Gaeddert!

The newest member of the Gaeddert finally arrived on July 1 at 9:06 am.  Thanks to the extra week (and a few days) he spent hanging out, he packed on the pounds and was born weighing in at 9 lbs, 6 oz, but perfectly healthy!  I also came away feeling great and having lots of energy when I came home on Sunday. 

Lucas (also being called Luke) looks so much like Jonah it's making it even more difficult to remember his name!  I call him Jonah all the time! :) I am sure I'll get the hang of it soon enough. 

Jonah still doesn't quite know what to think about the baby coming home.  He's helpful and loves to give Lucas kisses, but also hasn't shown much interest in Lucas except when it keeps Mommy from paying attention to him.  Jonah is being very patient though, and I am sure he will grow into the big brother role very well. 

If you'd like to view more pics of Lucas and family, check out Bubba's facebook page, or Flickr.  Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers we've been getting from friends and family.  We miss you all dearly!

Love, the Gaeddert Family
