Meet Mark! Aaaand, Kennedy is officially 2 and a half!

 

Our family is complete! Meet Mark William Kaune! Born May 18th at 7:22 pm. He weighed 6 pounds 10 oz and was 19 inches long. We are so in love with our sweet baby boy!

 

Here are 5 things about Baby Mark:

 

1. He is an awesome sleeper so far! He gave us a 5 hour stretch of sleep when he was 3 days old. Kennedy didn't give us that until she was almost 3 MONTHS old!

 

2. He is nursing like a champ and I am excited that I have had no supply issues this time around. He eats every 2-3 hours during the day and at night about every 4 hours.

 

3. He loves his swing! Again, very different from Kennedy, who hated it.

 

4. Only cries when he's hungry. Such a relaxed baby!

 

5. Loves his big sister and loves to watch her and hear her sing to him.

 

Kennedy has been an awesome big sister. She absolutely loves her baby brother! Here are some pictures of her meeting him for the first time in the hospital:

 

 

Our friends Jessica and Joe came over and took some newborn pictures of Mark. I thought they turned out great!

 

 

This one is my favorite! Isn't he adorable?!?!

 

 

I absolutely love this one of Kennedy and their daughter Janna, who is one of Kennedy's best friends. These two little girls love each other so much!

 



 

Also, as of yesterday, we officially have a two and a half year old in the house! I can't believe in 6 months, Kennedy will be three!

 

 

Here are some things about our 2 and a half year old:

 

*Wears all 3t clothes and a size 7 shoe.

*Loves to play "pretend" with her dolls and doctor kit

*Loves to dance and tumble! We have signed her up for a summer gymnastics class that starts in July.

*Loves to play outside.

*SOCIAL BUTTERFLY! Kennedy doesn't meet a stranger. She loves to play with other kids and talks up a storm. People constantly think she's older than she is because of her size and also because she speaks in full sentences.

*Still continues to be "all girl", loves to dress up and won't leave the house without a bow in her hair.

*Still in pull ups. Potty trained as far as pee-pee but refuses to poop in the potty. Our pediatrician said her son refused to poop in the potty until he was 3 and half. Lord, I hope that's not the case with Kennedy. 

*Loves her baby brother! Kisses him allll the time and loves talking to him.

*Current favorite tv show is Sophia the First and favorite book is Pout Pout Fish.

*Loves to play with Janna, her cousins Marley and Tabatha and at school her best friends are Emma, Kylie, Creighton and Garris.

 

Her cousins Marley and Tabatha came to visit last week and to see Mark and they had a blast playing dress up.

 

 

 

I am linking up today for "Oh Hey Friday" and "5 on Friday" even though I totally cheated and did more than 5 things. Ooops, sorry! I had to make up for the lack of blog posts in the past 2 weeks! Stay tuned, I hope to have Mark's birth story posted sometime next week. We had quite an eventful labor which included a scare but we are so blessed that everything turned out okay and he is healthy. Also, my recovery has been much better than it was with Kennedy so that has been great.
