Tuzie Tuesday!

Well it has been a busy couple of weeks for us Polywogs but that does not mean we did not have our camera's ready. K-Man enjoying some couch time with Tuzie, its funny because she is growing so fast. Every morning when she wakes up she looks bigger but when I see her next to K-Man it puts everything into perspective.
A quick family photo opt at the pumpkin patch, there will be another post on this so stay tuned..

And finally our feature
Miss Tuzie!

Cutest pumpkin in the patch!

Blessed

Today we blessed our Baby Girl Tuzie We could not be any luckier to have her in our family. She brings such a joyful light and presence to our family. We have been blessed in so many ways the moment she came into our lives. For this special day we had so much to be thankful for. Cookie gave a beautiful blessing and we were so fortunate to have good men to stand in the circle with him on this important day. My Dad Bampa flew in from SLC to be here with us, Uncle Ryan, Jeff (Cookies Best friend), Brian (Cookies work best friend) and the bishop lent their Priesthood to help perform the ordinance. We missed our brothers who are spread out all over the US and our Grandpa BK in Afghanistan but we know they were there in spirit. Tuzie's beautiful Blessing gown was designed and made by my talented sister in law Becky, I teared up when I first saw her in it. Such a darling little girl in such a beautiful dress sown by a wonderful Auntie. It was a beautiful gift.

The Radiant Grandma Tuzie and Little Tuzie
Seriously every photo of these two has that heavenly light. All of my film of Grandma Tuzie is like this!

Daddy's Girl

It was love at first sight
(BTW this phot was taken BEFORE I got to hold her, I'm just say'n)


I know I have said this before but dagnabbit I was really hoping that my daughter would look like me, not the cute girl version of Cookie.


She even got Cookies amazingly fast growing and super thick facial hair

Well there seems to be a new top dog around here and I will let you know that it is not me. It seems that carrying a baby in your tummy and nursing them does not necessarily make you their favorite. But you cannot blame our sweet Tuzie for this Cookie is pretty sweet. These two are inseparable. They have long chats about politics and watch college football together, they also bond over a tall bottle of breast milk in the wee hours of the morning while mommy is asleep. Almost as soon as we found out that Tuzie was a girl Cookie was wrapped around her little finger. Throughout my pregnancy he would come home from work with little pink outfits and accessories. Cookie has always been somewhat of a baby whisperer and can seem to calm and soothe her when nothing else will work. He is also fearless when it comes to baby care things like changing diapers, giving baths and trimming finger nails (which I dread). I am so grateful for my beautiful girl but feel even luckier that I have such a wonderful husband and that Tuzie has such a great Dad.


Tuzie Tuesday Delux Edition

2 months old!
Currently weighing in at 12lbs and 10 oz and 22 1/2 in long
(Officially making her heavier then the Beans)

Well for a weekly feature I have failed. It is not for a lack of great pictures (because this little cutie can strike a pose) but more so an exhausted Mommy. Being a Mother of two is suprizingly much more hectic then that of a Mother of one. I think it is the lack of sleep. Two major things that effect sleep around here is K-Man has now decided he does not need naps when infact he most certainly still does and the other major thing is Tuzie now sleeps through the night about 7-8 hours. The bummer with this is almost the exact same night K-Man started to wake up for 2 to 3 hours during the middle of the night. I think these two little rascals are conspiring against me. Any who back to why you have logged on without further delay I give you Tuzie Tuesday!
