She just couldn't let go even when she fell asleep.

What's New

Happy 2009!!!! I am way behind on my posting. We experienced a little computer problem and ended up needed an external hard drive. So, now I can save an post photos again! A lot has happened with our family since my last post.

Right before Thanksgiving, we made another trip to Disney World. We just visted there in November of 2007. Carys had a blast this year as well. Wraiya slept the entire time in the front pack. She melted her daddy's heart by asking to go to "the castle", so we went again this year. I'm putting my foot down...we won't go until Wraiya is almost 2.


Wraiya turned 3 months old on December 17 and is now almost 4 months old. She is such a wonderful baby! I feel as though she is growing way to quickly. With Carys, I felt like I had a baby for a long time because she was so tiny. Wraiya loves to watch what is going on around her and is having a fun time exploring with her voice! I'll share her stats after her well-baby visit.

We enjoyed the Christmas holiday with our two princesses. Carys opened every ones gifts. She had a blast and kept saying "Look!", "Is this from Santa?" She was a ton of fun this year. Wraiya just chilled during the unwrapping of the gifts. Our house was trashed!!!!

New Year's Eve was spent with the Drew family this year. It was a fun, relaxing time. We had way too much food. The girls had a blast playing with one another. Carys made it until 11:30pm. She was quite the trooper.

Carys is now 3 years old!! WOW!!!! Time is flying!!!! She could not narrow down a theme this year. Her party and cake was a mixture of all her choices: blue dinner plates; Disney princess cake plates, napkins and table cloth; red cups; pink and yellow plastic ware. It was very colorful. You only turn 3 once and I wanted her day to be all of her personality!! We had a Winter Bonfire Birthday Party. Carys loves being outside. We did the food inside and then made smores over the bonfire. This was my first bonfire in January. I loved it!!

Tim has been traveling a lot for work. He's regularly going to New Jersey. He is also going to Pennsylvania, West Virginia and next week he'll be in California. I can't remember if Florida was in the travels or not. I continue to stay home with the girls. I will probably return back to doing therapy on a contractual basis in April. It might be sooner if the offer is sweet for the Infant Mental Health therapist offer. Time will tell. Thanks for checking in on us!!

Wraiya is Two-Months-Old

Yesterday Wraiya had her two month well child check. She sure has grown!! This little one now weighs 10 pounds 5 ounces and is 21 1/2 inches long!! It's so hard to believe that we have been a family of four for over eight weeks now!!

Carys set up a tea party for Wraiya and insisted that I put her in the Bumbo so she could "pretend feed her".

Precious Moments

Carys loves, I mean loves, polka dot p.j.'s. She was so excited to buy Wraiya a pair. After their bath she asked to take a picture of them. In the middle of snapping photos Carys asked for her pink glasses. Gotta love them. They were a potty prize from school.

Are you looking at me? This bug pillow is bigger than Wraiya. I truly wonder what she thought of it. She's such a sweet baby!!!!

Minnie Mouse & Princess Lamb

Carys and her daddy had a great time carving pumpkins. Wraiya and I helped a little, but mostly took pictures. Little Miss Carys kept pulling the inside of the pumpkins out saying "disgusting". She learned this from watching Max & Ruby. The pumpkin carving outcome was a princess pumpkin...of course.

Carys with her classmates for her very first preschool Halloween party.

Wraiya was a trooper her first Halloween. Carys kept telling people that Wraiya was a Princess Lamb. This is because earlier in the day we put a small tutu on Wraiya...and I forgot to put it back on her in her costume...so she really was a lamb. Minnie Mouse was so excited about all the different kind of candy she was given. She was even eager to share with mommy and daddy.

Wraiya and I stayed at the house and passed out candy with the grandparents while Tim took Carys trick-or-treating with her cousins. Wraiya was wide eyed once she woke up. It was a warm, beautiful night for the kids to be out and about.

Wraiya's One-Month-Old

These last four weeks have went so quickly! Wraiya has really brought a lot of extra joy to our family. She is growing like a weed. At birth she weighed 5 lbs 6 ounces, at discharge and her first doctor weight check she weighed 5 lbs 1 ounce...at 3 weeks she weighed 6 pounds 8 ounces. I was shocked!! She is also getting stronger every day. She lifts her head when on her belly and turn it side to side. Carys is getting a lot better at holding her. It's so sweet to see them look at one another. There are so many times that I'm holding Wraiya and I see Carys as an infant. I'm sure part of it is that Wraiya is wearing Carys' hand-me-downs!! We sure to love this little princess. The first thing Carys says in the morning is "where's my baby sister".

Fall Fun

We have all been enjoy the crisp Fall weather and taking advantage of the local Fall festivals, apple orchards and pumpkin farms. At the beginning of the month we went to the Hidden Lake Gardens Fall Foliage Festival. Carys enjoyed a hayride, corn maze and various crafts using all natural elements. She thought all the different scarecrows were really interesting.

Friends of the family have a Llama farm. My mom has taken Carys there numerous times. I thought I should take a turn. She loved being with the animals and seemed to be a natural in the barn and in her interactions with the animals.

The Lashes had a baby Llama that was only one week old. Carys kept asking to pet it, but the baby and the mama Llama wouldn't come close to anyone.At Flavor Fruit Farms they had pony rides for the kids. Carys was so excited to see that when we arrived, asking right away, "I ride the ponies, pleeeeease". I think the guy leading the pony scared her a little, but one daddy walked beside her she was fine.

She had fun searching for the perfect pumpkin. Carys kept getting caught in the dried vines. It was a big laugh for Tim and I. We ended up leaving with a small green pumpkin. Ms. Wraiya slept though all the festivities!!

Wraiya's Room

Here's a little sneak peek of Wraiya's room. The white and pink flowers are painted on the wall is a few spots around her room.

Carys has to hold Wraiya every morning before school. When Wraiya and I drop Carys off at school Carys has to give her a hug, kiss and "noses". Since Wraiya has been born, Carys seems to be such a big girl now. Gotta love these two girls!!!!

WELCOME BABY!!!!

Welcome to the world Wraiya Ryan Davis

Wraiya was born kicking and screaming on September 17, 2008 at 3:52pm
She weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces and she was 18 inches long

Carys loves being a big sister and wants to help with everything. The day after Wraiya was born Carys went shopping with her daddy and picked out tons or toys for "baby sister". She likes to play with her toys too.

I'm really enjoying my new family of four...even the tired, sleepless times. Faces like this make those tired, sleepless times worth every second!!!!
