July 2011

 Some random events from the month.

Snuggle bugs

 Catching frogs

Nothing like sweet corn on the cob with a summer BBQ

Kepler loves to play! He can play with these cars for so long, he has such a great imagination.

Getting dirty

Poor Jayna has been breaking out in hives lately. We have no idea what it's from, hopefully we can figure that out soon.

Keira's First Days at Home

 I love all the new born expressions and poses! So adorable, I could watch her all day. 

 Love her forehead wrinkles!

 Gotta have the mitts on so they don't scratch themselves.

Hahaha, we're quickly realizing that this baby girl is going to be SO "loved"! 

Whether she likes it or not... ;)

Such a sweet little yawn

Look at all that hair! Not quite as much as Jayna though.

Such a proud big sister.

Oh the newborn stretches!

Sucking her thumb like a true Fitzner baby!

We are so smitten by sweet little Keira and all can't get enough of her! There's just nothing like bringing a new baby home to unite the family and remember what really matters.

Keira's First Bath

 Poor little thing! I don't think any of our kids have loved their first bath.

 But she sure looked cute in her flower robe after.

Welcome Home!

We had the best welcome when we brought Keira home. Jayna and Kepler had picked out flowers for me and her, and they both picked pink before they even knew it was a girl. And Jayna made her this cute little card.


They had also made cupcakes with my mom for our anniversary, so thoughtful.

And then the mauling began. :)

Kepler thinks it's amazing that the baby has eyes, and ears, and a nose, etc.

And they both love it when the baby grabs onto their fingers. That was one of the first things Jayna did when they saw her at the hospital.

Proud big sister and brother!

We have been so used to calling her "the baby" for so long, now we need to get used to calling it "her" and Keira!

It's a GIRL!

Keira Kathy Fitzner was born on July 26 at 9:04 am
She weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19.5 inches long

She arrived 2 weeks early on mine and Gibb's 9th wedding anniversary!
Everything went great and we had the most fantastic nurse who ended up delivering our baby (the doc was tied up in an emergency and showed up 20 minutes later to stitch me up).
We're glad to be home now and are really loving having a newborn in the house again.
Jayna and Kepler are so excited and proud to have a baby sister!

There is nothing like seeing and holding your baby for the first time!
