The transition...

has gone fairly smooth the first 24 hours! Brady has been chipping in and helping with many things to do with Ashlyn. He likes to get blankets, throw away diapers, and even feed her. He also wants to show her how to play with his/her toys.

Coming Home...

Wow has 48 hours changed our lives!

All this excitement, I am ready to get home and relax.

Daddy and Ashlyn coming home!

A VERY proud big brother!

Singing to Ashlyn just like they did the last few months she was in the belly.

Big brother wanting to do this on his own.

Brady was wanting to help and he wouldn't even let me keep my hand there to support Ashlyn so we put an extra pillow and let him help. He was so excited to feed her and wanted to try some of the formula himself. We told him it was for babies and then tried to put it back in Ashlyn's mouth again. He is doing so well. We go home tomorrow, Monday. so we will see how this transitions to home life when we aren't at a strange place and he realizes that baby is here to stay.

Enjoying the time spent at mommy's hospital room.

Round and Round we go....

Father's Day

Dad...I'm almost as big as the dino!

Whoa!

Bear about to dive in!

Mom and Brady...kinda warm :)

Proud of my boy who picked out his hat for the day!

Daddy, Brady, & Rhino

Happy Father's Day! With 5 days left to go before baby #2 arrives, we thought it would be a great idea to head to the Brookfield Zoo when it was one of the hottest days of the year so far....ha... (can you tell who types the blog). It was a great day and overall it ended up being very fun. Daddy enjoyed his time with the family and we saw many animals. Brady was pretty excited to see the elephants, mommy liked the giraffes, and daddy enjoyed the river otters.

1st Swim Lesson

Kick Kick Kick

Brady had his first swim lesson on Saturday. He already LOVES the water but we thought we would check it out. They sang songs and worked on kicking. Brady even was on a kickboard where he did great and dad almost had his hands off the board. I was so proud that I was crying while my boys were in the water. They even worked on going under the water and Brady did well with it. After he went under, Dusty asked if he liked going under the water and he said "Whoa". I guess that sums it all up!

Kimberly's Birthday

Here is Brady giving Kimberly her birthday truck ride...she looks mighty excited doesn't she!
What do I want....hmm...

A bug...PERFECT!

Kimberly turned 11! We went to Chuck E. Cheeses for the birthday girls dinner and Brady loves the pizza (of course) and the rides!

10 Years of Teaching

Dusty was honored last week for 10 years of teaching and coaching at Sandwich. We are so proud of daddy and all he does for our family.

Things are starting to get pretty exciting around the Behringer household. 18 days and counting to the scheduled C-Section for baby #2. (June 26) Baby has dropped and if I feel ANYTHING...we are suppose to head straight to the hospital. Oh geez! Brady is starting to realize some things are happening. The past 2 days have been big stars. Brady has been sleeping in his toddler bed for his naps but the one time we tried the bed for overnight, he rolled out and over to the changing table. Whoops! So Saturday night we tried again and he slept through the whole night in the big boy bed! YEAH BRADY!!! No turning back now. Brady has also taken up some chores around the house. Feeding trump is the main one he is suppose to do every morning with daddy. He is being such a good helper. I can't want to see him as a big brother. I know there will be an adjustment but he loves this baby already.

Jump...

Brady is getting so big! Here we are practicing our jumping! :)
