Big Sister and Baby Brother

Kieryn has been adjusting well to Ronan. Every now and then we can get her to snuggle or hold him. She does give him lots of kisses though! She mainly enjoys all his "toys"...

 

 

She has really been having fun with sugar and flour. On this day we played with it for nearly 40 minutes!

 

 We tried to stage some pictures... it's amazing how many pictures you actually have to take to get just one or two good ones.

 



 

We're still trying to decide who Ronan looks like... maybe you can help us out. I managed some good close-ups when he was awake the other day!

 

 

 

We love you little man!!

 

 

Ronan is looking forward to meeting Grandpop this week and meeting all the Copp family on the 4th!

It has been sooo busy!!

We were very busy last week... For starters Kieryn is taking her "big sister" responsibilities very seriously... she's been testing the bouncy seat and swing for durability!

The past few days that I have had both kids on my own we have done some baking... it's more play than anything but it keeps Kieryn content! She really liked doing pudding and playing in the sugar...

 

She was very excited to try one of her cookies... waiting for them to bake was torcher for her!

Big Sister Love!

 

Our little bright eyes...

 

 

Last Saturday we visited Wamego City park to visit some friends and take the kids on the train. Kieryn was so excited!! She loved LOVED the train!!

That evening we ventured to Paxico for a bbq with some other friends.

Then, last Sunday we baptized Ronan at St. Mary's church. Ronan slept through the entire mass and the baptism! 

 

God Parents- Stacey and Travis

 



That evening was the St. Benedict Picnic. The big bouncy slide was Kieryn's favorite!! She wasn't scared to go up at all... but Mommy did have to help a little.

The fish pond games were fun too!

 

Looking forward to a slower week!

 Copp Family has officially expanded! And Kieryn was very happy with the gift that Ronan gave her!

 

 

  

 

 Kieryn was so excited to meet her little brother.

 

 

 

 She likes giving him kisses and is very good about being gentle.

Uncle Travis was excited to snuggle with his little nephew. Kieryn was watching everyone closely to make sure they were being gentle with her little brother!

 

 

Our future Wildcat loved his view of the Bill Snyder Stadium!

 

  

Daddy and his babies!

 

  

Grumpy face...

 

 

Our little man! We love him so much!!

 

A day at Grandma and Grandpa's farm with Kieryn...

We tend to begin each morning playing with the train set. She can spend 20-30 minutes just playing, but eventually she'll ask someone to play with her by saying "Papa (grandpa) sit, or "Ama (grandma) sit".

 

 

When we head outside, one of the first things she says is either Lu (the dog), At (for cat), or sing (for swing). On this particular occasion she was happy with two of the three! If she's not on this swing then she's in the tire swing saying "yee-ha".

 

 

At some point on most days, she helps with garden work - picking strawberries, watering Grandma's flowers, or, like on this day, she got to plant a blackberry bush.

 

Then we spend about 10-15 minutes driving something... the lawn mowers, Grandpa's tractors/trucks, the Kia, or Grandma's car. For some reason she REALLY likes driving and is starting to ask for it every time we go somewhere.

Finally, towards the end of the day she helps Grandpa gather the eggs.

 

After a month and a half of this lifestyle, her daily routine is going to seem boring after we move! Hopefully we can keep her this busy in Pennsylvania too!

We love you busy body!!
