Our Baby Story

Thursday the 28th we left Justus home asleep with Grandma Liechty and headed to the hospital for the scheduled c-section. We had to be there at 5:30, but surgery wasn't scheduled until 7:30. By 7:53, she out and peeing... yes, I said peeing. As they pull her out the doctor says "Here she is, and she's peeing." Nice, huh? We later realized that is just her, "Oh, I'm out in the open, now would be a good time to go!" I thought that was suppose to be a boy thing, but no, this girl is far worse than Justus ever was. In recovery, they brought her back to me to feed and cuddle. What a doll! Dustin was able to bring Justus back to meet his sister and he thought that was pretty neat. He really loves her- he calls her "my baby" and lets us know every move she makes. This c-section went much better than the one with Justus- I felt so much better during and after. I loved my anesthesiologist- he took such good care of me, not that my one with Justus didn't, this one was just very attentive to any possible need that I could have had. So, thank you Dr! Thank you to all the amazing doctors and nurses that were involved in bringing my healthy beautiful baby girl into our lives!!

Shaye Josselyn Liechty

We are so excited to finally have her here!!! She was born at 7:53 am. Weight: 7lbs 2 oz, Height: 19 in and completely adorable! She is such a fun baby; sweet as ever! I'll post more later, but for now we are just enjoying being home, getting to know the newest member of our family.

2 Year Pictures

These are some of my favorites... crazy monkey did not want to cooperate, though! I think they turned out pretty good despite that fact.

Is that not the sweetest two year old?? I'd have to say so! He was so excited about everything... his dump truck cake, his "surprises," his cousins coming, people singing "Happy Birthday" to him, his balloons. What a great birthday! It was actually a three day long event that started at the Fun Park with some bowling, soft play, and pizza, and ended on his actual birthday with Chick-fil-A. This is one of his personal favorites because he gets to indulge in some of his favorite foods (nuggets and french fries with "sauces") and of course, run around like crazy at the playland.

Justus at 2:

Shoe size: 5

Diaper size: 4

Favorite Movie: Incredibles, which is also where he gets his

Favorite one-liner: "Edna Mode." At Christmas time it was "The, the, the, the Grinch!"

Favorite food: corn dogs and french fries with sauces

Favorite activity: four wheeling with Dad. He has become and expert at driving his four wheeler around the house- no crashing into walls or furniture, even while attempting stunts- which stem from another favorite, watching four wheelers on YouTube doing anything- tricks, jumping, racing, crashing, mudding. I see ER visits as I look at this boys future. Although, he does like to wear his helmet around the house. He will wear it for hours, insisting that it has to stay on.

Favorite book: Go, Dogs! Go!

Favorite sport: basketball, Aggie basketball to be specific, he knows all the cheers and the "Scotsman," Tai Wesley is his favorite player. He loves to "shoot hoops" with any ball he can find.

Favorite song: You are my Sunshine

Loves to help get himself dressed and help us put our shoes and socks on.

He needs his daddy and his puppy when he's tired.

Loves to shovel and vacuum.

Will inform us every time we get a vehicle, "The car is dirty. We need to go to the car wash." For whatever reason, this kid loves the car wash. I'm guessing he's going to make sure we have the cleanest cars we've ever had.

He is learning his alphabet and to count to "10." Knows "his" letter "j" very well.

He loves to tease and will do it any way he can.

Spring????

Is it too soon to be thinking about spring????

Justus is such a daddy's boy, this morning he puts Dad's shoes and jacket on and proudly announces "I'm ready to go to work!" He wanted to "get in the truck and go to work! it be fun!" Sure thing kiddo, someone's got to pay for those diapers! After we got Dad off to work without his helper, we gave our working boy a haircut. What a handsome kiddo- who apparently is a poser, he's totally working it!

Hardware Ranch & A Bridal Fair

Last Saturday I got to go spend the day with my niece, Adrienne, and the girls doing a little planning for Adrienne's wedding. We had so much fun and most importantly, she found her dress- which is amazing, and she looks beautiful in it... couldn't post pictures of that, for obvious reasons :) Dustin decided to take Justus and Sherryil and go have a little fun of their own. They went to Hardware Ranch and took a ride out through the elk. Justus loved it, of course!
