One more post...cookies with Daddy

Elena has been kind enough to let me have some one on one (or one on five) time with the kids.  Yesterday we made cookies.  Outfits are courtesy of my mom, Gram E.

Posted from my phone, so please excuse any typos or weirdness.

When Dad is in charge of breakfast...

McKinley Marian Camp

Our precious new addition!!!
McKinley Marian Camp
Born June 20th 2012
19 1/2 Inches long
9 lbs 4 oz
 
Here is the CRAZY family you were born into!  
Kamryn absolutely loves you Kinley. She holds you and calls you "my tinny" and sings and dances for you. 

Colby did not want to hold you at the hospital until I helped him, (Check it out in the collage)  now I think he wants to hold you and snuggle you more than anyone else.  He likes to say that you are TOO cute!

Parker was dying to hold you at the hospital, but once we got home he was a little sad to loose some of mom's attention. But since Parker kissed you to make you happy he has thought you were pretty great.  

Dallin loves to hold you, feed you bottles and can't wait for me to let him pick you up by himself! He loves to show you off to his friends.  He is very proud of his now baby sister.

Brooklyn also loves you to pieces and is such a great helper.  She loves to hold you while mom is taking care of the other kids.  She is also anxiously waiting for the day I let her pick you up or stand up with you. 

Dad loves to snuggle you!  He often gets in trouble for just snuggling you when he is supposed to be burping you!  

Mom loves you and all the snuggle time we have been able to have (thanks to Dad, Grandma and Grandpa for taking the other kids so much!!!).  I love to watch your brothers and sisters hold you, but truth be told I can't wait for them to give you back! You have been a good baby, except for the part that you are having a hard time eating.  You only gained 2 oz since we left the hospital, so we are working on that, and getting your tongue checked out (you may need it clipped like the twins) And hopefully you will be in a much better place by week 3 of your life. 



Grandpa Rand LOVES babies!  I don't think he has held you as much as he would like.  He likes to call you Marian too. He looks at you (like all the other kids too) and appreciates all the little things about you.  I think your hair stands out the most! 

Grandma Marian also loves her little Mini Marian.  She started to cry when I told her we were naming you McKinley Marian.  I think Grandma and Grandpa need some more holding time (the Texas Allison family and Cami and Lauren have all been in town and there just isn't enough baby to go around! You are a wanted baby!)



 Here is your welcome home sign thanks to Brooklyn and your other siblings!  
You are loved!  And we are all so happy to have your sweet spirit in our home!!!.
