Welcome Carsen Evelyn

Little Carsen Evelyn made her debut at 1:30 on Friday, February 5th. Weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs 2 oz, and 17 1/2 inches long. She had to get checked out in the NICU for a few hours and then was free to come to our room with us! She's absolutely perfect and we are so blessed to have her!

Minutes after she was born, look at all that hair!

Look at that proud daddy!

We couldn't be happier!

Little Emers didn't know what to think, she was just starting to get interested, then my BP cuff started and scared her, she wouldn't look at me after that!

Finally having something to do with her little sister

Isn't she so sweet

Home at last, Emerson finally was fully interested in this little person

First bath at home!

She does love her little sister.

Dancing to the Superbowl Kickoff show! Isn't she so funny, she has some mad dance skills!!

Merry Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas everyone!! We've had a wonderful day so far! Santa was very good to Emerson! We've so enjoyed hanging out at home and just taking it easy, bliss! I made some rockin' monkey bread, I have to say it turned out perfect, usually it's hit and miss, but this year, big hit! I can't think of a better way to spend Christmas than hanging out with my family and taking it easy, so that is exactly what we did!

Emerson's stuff from Santa

Worn out after her long day of playing (it was like 10:30 in the morning) she took her pants off and put them around her neck to snuggle, don't ask me why!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went over to Bryan and Lora's to open gifts and have some snacks, it was a lot of fun, Emerson loves to spend time with her cousins!

I guess it's been a while since I've updated! No huge news, or anything exciting going on, just trying to get ready for Christmas, we still have to put the tree up! I finally ordered Christmas cards, that's one thing off my list! Now to just tackle the rest! Here's a cute photo of Emerson with Santa! Doesn't everyone have a screaming photo with Santa?

Emerson was not thrilled as you can tell, we actually thought she would like Santa, because she's really into facial hair right now!

Halloween

This year for Halloween we dressed Emerson up as I guess a little fairy, her costume was too cute! She barely cooperated with wearing the little hat, but I did get a couple cute photos.

Brad took away her passy, hoping to get a couple cute photos, obviously it backfired!

And here the spoiled little thing is with her passy!

She is now playing 'peek a boo' we say 'where's Emerson?' and she covers her eyes, then she pulls her hands away and of course we are so excited, we yell 'there she is', it turns into an almost never ending game. We love it!

Tate Farms!

We've made a family tradition of visiting Tate Farms every year, to get our pumpkins for Halloween, and this year was no different. I think Emerson really enjoyed herself, we enjoyed watching her, she wasn't the biggest fan of the petting zoo, at least not the bunnies, but she loved the llama. The swing was also a big hit, we've had her in the swing before and she hated it, but this time she was in heaven, we loved hearing her squeals of delight!

Such a huge change from last year

In the corn crib, she wasn't enjoying it, so I had Daddy get in with her

She's actually pushing the bunny away

With her Emerson size pumpkin

How precious is that smile!

Grandpa Hatch visits

My dad came up to visit for a few days, and Emerson was all over him. She's been a mommy's girl for a while now, and doesn't really want to go to anyone else, not even daddy. For some reason she was all over Grandpa, it was really cute, and gave me a little break.

She's all about the cuddle right now, and I think she's starting to realize it completely melts our hearts and she can get away with just about anything, I think we need to be careful!

Another Sweet Baby Girl

We couldn't be more pleased to find out that we are having another baby girl. Our ultrasound revealed 80% likely, that baby girl Bohan #2 is on the way! How unbelievably blessed we are. I'm so happy that Emerson will have a sister, and I hope Emerson and the sweet angel yet to be named will be great friends. I know that my sister's have been my rock during some of the most trying times of my life. How wonderful to have a sister and friend in one.

I know it's hard to tell, but you can see her little legs and feet
