SHE'S SMILING!!!!!

YAY! Finally all that hard work has paid off! All of the midnight feedings, the unmerited crying, and all of the poop has been wiped away with one toothless grin from that little thing! At only 5 1/2 weeks Rae began to smile from stimulus. AND at 6 weeks Rae is now sleeping 6 hours at night which means WE finally get some sleep- YAY! Opps I put one picture twice- oh well!

Winter fun in Winter Park

Matt, Rae and I had the chance to go to Colorado for a week and a half. Matt has done dj work for the Wells Fargo Cup for the NSCD (National Sports Center for the Disabled)Ski Race in Winter Park- his hometown since 1997. It is a GREAT race and we always have lots of fun! Check it out: http://www.nscd.org/programs/competition.htm.

This race gives us the chance to visit family and with the new baby the Toller family was VERY anxious for us to come! Rae not only met her grandparents; her aunt, uncles, and cousins; but she also got to meet her great grandparents! We had lots of fun and we even got to squeeze in some snowboarding, cross country skiing and our first date without Rae since she was born (thanks Momma T :-))

I have to admit that I was VERY nervous to travel with a month-old baby- but she did GREAT!!! What a trooper!!! Check out some pictures!!

Bath Time

So Rae had her first bath a couple of days ago. Here are some cute pictures from the extravaganza and of recovering afterwards with Daddy snuggle time!

Occupation: Stay at home Mom

So as of yesterday my resignation was turned in at work. So as of now taking care of this little thing is my full time job. Now this seems like it would be a piece of cake, but that is far from the truth! It seems like every time I have her fed and clean it's time to start over again!
Everyday Rae and I are getting better at life together and that is so cool! We are learning to work together as a team! I am so thankful that God has blessed us with the ability for me to stay home for a while- I wouldn't miss these days with my girl for ANYTHING!
Other Toller family news- Matt is now doing Real Estate full time now. No more swinging a hammer! This is an awesome opportunity for him and he is loving every minute of it!

The Baby is HERE!

Here are some more pictures of the little lady! Because of the quickness of the labor we were unable to even get an IV hooked up before she was born so we have to stay 48 hours to monitor Rae. But my doctor said that as soon as she gets the ok to go we are good to go! We are both doing VERY well! I am obviously sore but feeling well. We were actually able to get some sleep last night! She is starting to get the hang of feeding as well- we are a good team! We are just VERY excited to go home so that Rae can see her home and meet her proud big brother Caeman! Thanks to everyone for coming to see us! We feel VERY loved from the steady flow of company!

Welcome Katien Rae

Our beach baby arrived yesterday at 1:49pm weighing 7 pounds 4 ounces, 20 inches long. Here she is! By the time we got to the hospital, Katey was already 7 cm dialated, and 25 minutes later, Rae was here!
