My Boys

The first time that Finn met Riley, mommy was unfortunately nursing Riley and this did.not.sit well with Finn! He was flabergasted when he walked into the hospital room to see this tiny baby attached to his momma! The rest of that visit didn't go very well, though Finn was very protective of his baby brother when the nurse started to take Riley's vitals and such.

But ever since we came home from the hospital, Finn has been in love with "his baby". Every day he walks into the house on the hunt for the baby. And when he finds the baby he waves to him, touches and kisses his feet, sometimes brings him toys and on one occasion that brought me to tears......Finn walked into the house, came into the nursery where I was changing a crying Riley, he shook his head and ran into our bedroom looking into the bassinet asking for baby and then when I brought Riley to the living room and sat down and Riley stopped crying, Finn ran over to us and gave Riley a big hug. Sweetest thing e.v.e.r. Every night after bathtime we let Finn hang out and touch and kiss and play with Riley. So Sweet! Here's a couple of pictures of the boys in their coordinating dinosaur jammies!















Bringing Home Baby

Here's just a few pics of Riley getting acclimated to home!


























Our latest addition of FUN

Welcome Riley David Lakes, born 2/4/09 (which is also daddy's birthday) at 10:31am, weighing in at 8 pounds 9 ounces and 21 3/4 inches long. He looks just like his daddy and big brother Finn! He has a full head of black hair which also covers the majority of his body, he has a loud set of lungs on him (though thankfully rarely uses them) and so far he is a champion eater, sleeper and pooper! Big brother Finn couldn't be a better big brother and is so in love with "his baby"!

Luvin on Aunt Tay Tay

My BFF Taylor came through town the last couple of weekends and the whole day before Aunt Tay Tay arrived, we talked about her to Finn and even got him to say "Tay Tay", gah so cute! So when Aunt tay Tay walked in the door......he went right to her and hugged her for like a half hour and didn't let go! It was the sweetest thing! We love you Aunt Tay Tay!
