Flashback to Meeting Phoebe

These first two pictures are courtesy of Cindy...  On December 31, 2011, we were so excited to welcome a new cousin, Phoebe Anne.  Even though we live relatively close, the first opportunity that we had to meet her was when she was about three weeks old. 

Even though I really wanted to see Phoebe and Cindy while they were still in the hospital, I think it worked out better for everyone to have the older kids have a little bigger space than a hospital room to visit in, and I'm sure it made for a longer, less stresful visit.  They always love seeing Lyla and she was so nice to share her things with them.

Kaci loves to pull her shy personality out whenever we are around people she hasn't seen in awhile.  She is getting quicker and quicker at warming up though and letting them see her true personality. 

We had an extra treat of having Grandma there who was helping with Phoebe.  She wasted no time in giving all her grandkids love and even had jello jigglers waiting for the older ones because she knows it's one of their favorites.  Just a few days ago, 8 months later, Carter asked me, "remember when we saw Lyla and Phoebe and Grandma had Jello Jigglers?"  They obviously made quite the impression.

Makynzie and Phoebe first time meeting on earth.  Phoebe was born a month early and so was extra tiny.  It is fun to see the difference in size of these two. 

These cousins were dressed in the same onsie, definitely a sign of their shared good taste.  :)  Kynzie's was a newborn size and Phoebe's was a preemie.

In this picture, I was asking Makynzie if she was talking to her soon to be born cousins, Scarlett and Jack.  She would just flash this huge smile and keep cooing and staring at the sky.  I think she was!  :)
