You might have noticed that the title of the blog has now changed to "our little ones" since we have added another addition to our family. Brooklyn Sharon Marie Price arrived on Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 7:45 pm. She was 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 3/4" long, so almost a full pound a full inch bigger than her sister. We went to the hospital at 6:45 after my water broke and I was dilated to 6 cm. By the time we got to our room, I was 8. No one told me that I had missed the epidural window, but I had a sinking feeling in my gut that I would be on my own with this one. An hour later and after the worse pain in the world, I realized it was all worth it. I'm sure after you look at the pictures, you would think so too.
Kami has transitioned into a fabulous big sister by helping out with her baby sister. She takes dirty diapers to the trash, gets Brooklyn her pacifier and toys, and comes to let me know that her baby sister is crying and to fix it. She's had her moments when she wants to do or get what Brooklyn is doing or getting, but so far so good.
I'll still be doing bi-weekly blog posts, but there will now be pictures of both girls. Enjoy the longer posts and leave lots of comments!
One of Brooklyn's first pictures. It looks like she's smiling! 
Big girl! After the doctor mentioned "lots of hair" while I was pushing, the second thing he said was "linebacker shoulders." I guess she takes after her mama...
Kami with her baby sister.
Grandma Price and Brooklyn.
Papa Price with his newest granddaughter.
The next day in the hospital.

Looks like Brooklyn takes after her Uncle Nick with the similar haircuts.
A proud grandpa.

Burping Brooklyn is funny!

Brooklyn found her finger!
I think she's passing gas here.
Brooklyn's first bath-not a happy camper.
A happy grandma.
Kami entertaining herself at church. What a dork.
Kami trying her hand at photography.
"Sook (look) mama! I a air-pane! See my arms? I fly to Hawaii home!"
Kami drawing her arm on some Grandparents' Day cards.
"I a strong girl! Sook at my muscles!" If you look closely, you'll notice her shoes are on the wrong feet and her pants are not only inside out, but on backwards too.
The three Prices before we became the four Prices.
Kami loves wearing Grandpa's headphones when watching cartoons. I love when she wears them so I don't have to listen to Dora.
Kami also loves wearing Grandpa's hat.
Kami concentrating very hard on her sprinkle placement.
Kami and Dada lounging on the couch.
Kami and Wendy riding horses. Garrett takes Kami out to Wendy's house every Friday to ride horses and Kami LOVES it!
Kami reading her bear-bear the Bible.
Kami missed her nap on this particular day, and we stopped to get ice cream cones on our way home. She just about fell asleep with ice cream up her nose...when she falls asleep with her mouth open, I know she's REALLY tired.
Who's underneath that blanket?
It's Kami!

Your girls are so gorgeous! I just HAVE to hold Brooklyn...when can I see her?! By the way...I LOVE the picture of Kami sleeping with her mouth open, it cracks me up!
She has a very good eye for modern abstract photography! And I agree, you're girls are breathtaking. And Kami is hilarious. And I can't wait to hold Brooklyn again. :)
Oh, wow! She's gorgeous- and she has more hair than G does now- at almost one year old! :) Where did you put all that baby? She was bigger than all of mine, but she doesn't look like it at all!
We're praying for your mama, Tessa. Hope all is well!
