Miss Scarlet Raelyn was born June 12, 2010. Yep, sharing a birthday with her mommy. Kayla wanted to be able to party for her 21st birthday but what an awesome birthday present. We had a small scare when she was born. She was slightly purple and they had to give her oxygen but what a beautiful baby she was.... Perfect! She started walking at 9 months and even learned how to "high five". She is now 14 months old and so smart; I think she gets that from her grandpa. She wakes up in the morning and gets herself out of bed and tootles out to the living room to play until mommy or daddy get up (of course grandma or grandpa are there to keep an eye on her). She is able to open doors by herself so we have to watch the front door so she doesn't head out to see the dogs. Yes, dogs. Her first word was dog, she loves dogs. Our neighbors have dogs and grandpa takes her outside to see them so she thinks she can go out on her own to see the dogs. She can also say mom, hi, bye, snack, juice, daddy, and is learning thank you. And shh... so funny. I told her the other morning "shh, Lucian is sleeping" so she walks out to the living room and grandpa says good morning to her and she shushed him all serious. Priceless! She is a little lover and loves to give hugs. She is our little princess but is now a beauty queen. She did her first pageant (Lacey Pageant) and she was so good. She won Cover, Supreme Model, facial beauty and personality and has 2 big trophies and 2 beautiful crowns. We are looking forward to entering her in more but just sporadically and for fun. Kayla's main goal is to enroll her in gymnastics and cheerleading in January.
Lucian Sinatra was born July 22, 2010. Michael loves Frank Sinatra and we were listening to Sinatra and Dean Martin while Rachel was in labor. He also likes Johnny Cash and we thought his name should be Cash Sinatra, but Lucian it is. He is my "little man" because he looked like an old man when he was born. He was still adorable though. Poor Rachel, there were some complications during labor. Lucian was having a hard time during the labor and at every contraction instead of his heart beating faster it would get slower so they ended up having to do a C-section and he was jaundice. Michael was right there for her and Rachel did great. He took a little longer to crawl and walk but he was walking before his first birthday. He is like his daddy, so serious and a little hellion. Scarlet always wants to give him hugs but all he wants to do it push her and grab her. He loves balls, the little plastic balls, tennis balls, footballs. He throws it and goes to get it, throws it, goes to get it. We think he may be some kind of ball player when he gets older.
They, along with Kayla and Michael, are our angels. We adore them and we are so happy they are in our lives.
Until next time.....
Love to you all!!
