Oh my goodness gracious and heaven's sakes! My baby is one month old today! Have we really gone through almost the entire month of July? That is the fastest month that ever was. Which is really crazy because I've been awake for most of it, so I'm not sure how I missed it. Seeing as though time can go by so fast, why didn't the space between May 29th and June 29th go that fast? Hmm. I guess I conclude that I am enjoying my little guy much more having him OUT rather than when he was IN. Happy one month Ty!
While we are on the topic of "one's" we'll send a shout out to Jacob. His tally of diaper changes is up to...
(drum roll please)
...ONE! Way to go dad! Yes love, he is small, but no, he won't break if you change him. It's your turn to get peed on.
While we are doing SHOUT OUTS, this shout out is for a cherished and forever friend HAYLEY who is having her birthday tomorrow, July 30th. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAY! LOVE YOU! I know how much you love your birthday. Hope it's a perfect one.

Genius
Another one for the memory book:
This afternoon the girls were out playing in the front yard while I was in the living room feeding Ty. They had bowls of dry Rice Krispies and were pretending to eat out of them like dogs. Yes, my little girls love to pretend to eat out of bowls like dogs, and I let them. Don't judge. I like to think my children are genius level, and their intelligence spills over into creativity.
Well, as inevitable as always, Allie started crying. Kenna came up to the screen door and announced, "Mom! Allie has blood!" First thought: Great, not again. Second thought: I need a clone. Allie came up to the screen door and I could see she had a lovely bloody nose. I admit, I was so happy to see her forehead was still in tact and I wouldn't have to make a mad dash to the ER. So, I interrupt Ty from his very peaceful, sleepy feed and head out to assess the situation. When she calmed down a bit and we stopped the bleeding, I got the story. To sum it all up, here's how it went:
She stuck a Rice Krispie up her nose because she was pretending to be a sheep.
No really, go ahead and read that again, there is no typo. I have no idea how Rice Krispies up the nose and being a sheep have anything to do with each other, but to my little Allie gal they go hand in hand. I took great comfort when through those big blue alligator-tear filled eyes she let me know that she did get the Rice Krispie out. Thank heavens, I really didn't want to go digging for it.
So, next time you are pretending to be a sheep, learn from the misgivings of a 2.99 year old that you should NOT stick a Rice Krispie up your nose. Doing so will result in nasal trauma.

Preoccupied
Whew- this newborn deal keeps me pretty preoccupied! I have a million things I could write about, but can't quite get my thoughts to run together. So maybe I'll just post some pictures and call it good. Besides, all you really want to see is a cute baby, right?
In no particular order....
The first family trip with all 3 carseats. It's tight- an upgrade may be necessary. We're currently accepting any donations to the Jacob-hates-to-admit-it-but-we-need-a-van fund.
The girls love their brother. They actually are pretty darn good about not smothering him too much. All things considered, the transition to having little brother has been fairly smooth. Of course now that I've put this in writing, all heck will break loose.
This picture doesn't capture it well, but my little Ty guy has the cutest little swirl of hair on the back of his head.
And let's just be honest here- this is the cutest little profile you ever did see.
Who knew a little boy could be so stinkin' cute? I am so in love with this little dude. Even if I get peed on many times a day. This new anatomy takes some getting used to with diaper changes. Every once in a while he has some fussy times. I think he actually would just prefer to be held. Some nights are better than others, but I suppose that's just all part of having a new baby. Even though this is my 3rd baby, I still play the "is this normal?" game. Each baby is definitely different, that's for sure.
The girls have been quite the little helpers for daddy lately. Daddy has been quite the helper for mom by taking the girls out. Ever since coming home with Ty, Allie seems to have gotten huge to me! She definitely is not my baby anymore. Here she is with her dad- pretty darn sweet:
We'll see how much success I have at getting another post done soon. Having a new baby, "soon" takes on a whole new meaning!

Smitten
We are 3 days in and absolutely enamored and in love with our new little addition.
Ty Justin Israelsen made his debut on Tuesday, June 29th at 4:20 p.m. Jacob and I got to the hospital at 4:00 a.m. for the induction, they started me at 5 and slowly but surely it progressed. Now here we are, home with our new sweet bundle loving him more every day. I can't even begin to explain how much we love this little fella. I could seriously snuggle him all day long. So far he is content and adds such an amazing spirit in our home. Right now he has to stay under some billi lights, but hopefully we won't have to do it for too long.
He weighed in at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches long. Well, at the hospital they said he was 18" but today at the doc he was 20 all stretched out.
Now we'll just work on getting caught up on sleep. He he he. Maybe sometime next year.....
Daddy and Ty just a few hours old:
Getting ready to leave the hospital:
Day 3 and getting cuter by the minute:
Love love you our sweet Ty guy!
