The Joy of Reading

Daddy reading Brock a story - Brock has inherited his dad's love of books!

Daddy's Girl

I couldn't resist this picture of Sophie asleep on her Daddy.  

Silly Brocky!

Brock has been keeping us entertained this past week.  Some might say he is attention seeking since little sister arrived, but whatever the case, he's having fun being silly.  He found his bucket hat and spent an hour walking around with it over his face running into the furniture.  People keep asking if I've seen Parenthood where the kid puts the bucket over his head and keeps banging it on the wall - yep, that's my kid - but I love him!

Nana and Papa

Nana and Papa came to visit last week.  Papa was out of town when Sophie was born so it was his first time to meet his new grand-daughter.  Micah and I were able to sneak off to lunch for a little bit while Papa and Brock took a walk and Nana and Sophie hung out.

We are so blessed to have both of our immediate families close that they can come visit when they want.  Thank you to all our family for the help and delicious food over the last week!

Sleepy Sophie

Well, we have survived the first week and already we are spoiled. Sophie is a great sleeper!  She is sleeping around 4 hours straight at night which may not sound like much, but if you've had a baby you appreciate that many hours of sleep between feeds the first week!

Brock is still doing great.  He wakes up every morning asking about "Baby".  He loves giving her kisses and helping put her pacifier in her mouth.  He's such a sweet big brother.

And Then There Were Four

Sophia Ashlynn Forman is here!  She was born on Saturday, October 4th, 2008 at 12:38 am. Sophie weighed 7 lb 13 oz, 20 in long and everyone is doing great.  I was blessed with a very quick labor, 2 hours total from the time we walked in till she was born (it made up for the 3 days I was in labor with Brock!).

Brock is already a great big brother.  As soon as he saw her he pointed and said "Baby!"  He loves to give Sophie hugs and kisses and tries to share his toys with his baby sister.  It's so amazing to sit on the couch and look and my two beautiful kids (that's plural!!).

Thank you so much to everyone who has been praying for us.  We are so blessed with our friends and family and everything they are doing to help us out.  Sorry for the short post but both little ones are asleep so it's my turn to go and try to sleep a little too.
