The First Week

Our first week as a family of four has been interesting at times, hard, easy, fun and scary....all in 7 days YIKES! But we're working on things and getting used to each other (ok, more like Olivia getting used to having a baby brother and sharing mom and dad)

Sorry kiddo, you better get used to the camera being in your face, it's gonna happen a lot!!

The first couple days at home

Here are a couple pictures from our first days at home with Carter, we're all still alive and kicking, very sleep deprived but alive!

Welcome Baby Carter

Thursday June 12th @ 1:38pm weighing in at 7 lbs 10 ounces and 20 " long Carter Mak was brought into the world....(rather quickly if you ask me! LOL) He was 9 days overdue and we were rather impatient to meet him. It's been a wild ride these last 5 days now that we're a family of 4, but I wouldn't change it for the world!

The Grocery Cart & The Dog Bed

Every morning when we come downstairs liv brings her stuffies and blankie and she puts them in her shopping cart and pushes them around the house, and then inevitably ends up in the dog bed with them.

She spends more time in the dog bed than they do or if the dogs are in it she'll try and climb in with them but ends up taking up too much room so they leave.

Pretty Dress for a Wedding

We went to a friends wedding on the 24th of May and liv got to wear this great little dress that my mom and I found at Huckleberry Kids (love that store) I know the wedding is about the bride but I couldn't help but put a picture of my princess in here too!












The Happy Bride and her Dad.

New Outfits

Emma's mom is a wiz at making clothes and we've been spoiled by her talents a couple times now and I jut wanted to post pictures of her latest gifts that she sent our way. These beautiful summer outfits are SO adorable and fit Liv perfectly. I can't wait till it's warm enough again for her to wear them, stupid rain!!!

Pretty Dress & Hat












There are ruffles down the back it's SO cute!













A one-piece jumper












I love the pokadot fabric of this one!!!

Blinkie Shoes

Olivia just got her first pair of blinkie shoes the other day. She thought they were pretty cool, I took them out of the box and showed her that they blinked when you hit them with your hands, so of course she was hitting them all over everything, so I figured it was safer for me to put them on her feet instead, she had a blast running around the house trying to watch the blinking lights hahaha.









Gimli trying to check out her shoes too.

The Joys of Pregnancy

These pictures are just to remind myself about the "joys" of pregnancy, when in a couple years I'm having that urge to have another baby. These were my cankles on the May Long weekeng, heat and pregnancy don't mix!!!

Playing in the Backyard

Olivia LOVES playing outside, she's always grabbing her shoes and trying to put them on and then standing at the back door. Her wagon is her favorite toy in the backyard, everytime we're outside that's the first thing she goes to. And she's always trying to pull her toys around in it, so Daddy decided that he wanted a turn.









Liv tried pretty hard to give daddy a ride.













But she ended up needing a break.









Playing with her puppies.

Investigating Mom's Belly

Liv knows mom has a big belly, but I'm not sure if she's quite realizing that there's a baby in there. We pat my tummy and say baby and she pats her tummy and says baby too LOL. She wanted to investigate my belly the other morning and I think she was trying to poke the baby thru my bellybutton, or at least she thinks it goes somewhere cause she was trying with all her might to get thru (it hurt too!!!).


Hugs for her baby brother.
