We had to stay in Kansas City for a few more days until Wyoming gave us approval to bring you home. Your dad had left the day before and so I had to haul you and your sister home all by myself. You were both so good though, so it really wasn't so hard. I was worried that you would cry on the airplane because of your ears but you didn't. You just slept the whole way home. Everywhere we went people made comments on how beautiful you were. No one could believe that you were only 1 week old. Your umbilical cord stub started coming off right before we left on the plane so I had to put a band aid on it to keep it from coming off. I was worried it would come off on the plane and bleed really bad. When we got home that night it came all the way off. It only took a week. When we got off the plane your brother Caden was so excited to see you. He is still excited to this day. Every time he gets home from school he runs in to see you and kiss you. He is always telling me that he thinks you are so cute. Kadrie, of course, absolutely adores you. She thinks she is your second mom and tries to tell me how to take care of you. She could hold you for hours. All of my friends were so excited to finally see what you looked like and they all think you are absolutely gorgeous. You also seem so much older than you are. You seem to be more advanced that just a 5 week old baby(which is what you are as I am writing this). You can already hold your head up for the most part. If I put you on your stomach for tummy time you will kick yourself over to the side. Your legs are so strong. If I pull on your arms to stand you up you will push yourself all the way up with your legs. It's amazing. You even stand up in your daddy's hands. It scares the crap out of me but I know he knows what he is doing. He does it with all babies. Also, in just the last couple of days, you have started smiling at us. Not like you did before where it was involuntary. If we look at you and make faces you actually smile back. It is so cute. Your daddy is so cute with you. He absolutely loves you. He is such a cute dad and he actually loves babies, but only his own:). He thinks you are so cute. I know he was worried about loving another child the way he does Caden and Kadrie, but as soon as he held you he understood how it is possible to love more and more children. I absolutely love every second I get with you. I could hold you all day long. You really are such a good baby. You really only cry if you are hungry, tired, or have a dirty diaper. You are a really good eater too. You are up to 4oz and are starting to get a bit chunky. I love baby chunk. I am so grateful to our Heavenly Father and how he blessed us with you. I am so glad everything worked out and that you were able to join our family. I love being your mom and I can't wait to watch every second of your growing up.
