Two months and counting.







Little by Little Here's a little update from the Sorrough family of four now. Regan is 2 months old and starting to smile and talk. So cute! Kylie thinks so too. Sometimes a little too much :0) She did well with her shots too. Only cried when it happened and slept most of the day with her fever. She's just over 12lb and 27inches. She's doing much better with her weight and nursing than Kylie did. I am too. Kylie is potty trained! She's only 26 months and tall and thin, so it's hard to find panties that fit. She has a toddler bed now we're trying to keep her in for naps. She's so smart! We went to Disney a week ago and she just loved all the characters. She use to be scared of them but really enjoyed them this last time. We got to see the Wiggles and the princesses. There was supposed to be a hurricane, but it was hardly a rainy day. There was hardly anyone at Disney and Chris had the day off! Tons of fun. We also got to enjoy a visit from Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Stacy for my birthday. We all enjoyed seeing them. Kylie and Stacy had a ton of fun together. Kylie also got to be a flower girl in Uncle Kyle and Aunt Norka's wedding on my birthday. She looked so beautiful. She danced the night away!

We're enjoying Chris's new job. He started teaching spanish at the St. Cloud Middle School. 6-8th grades. It's all beginner spanish so easy lesson plans. Only one all day. He finds it very rewarding too which is nice to see him happy. His commute is a lot less so he's home earlier. When we get to be home.
I'm enjoying the girls and they are a pleasure to be home with. I'm trying hard to loose the baby weight. Too many sweets and not enough exercise when I was pregnant. Oh well, maybe next time :0) Two down two to go. Recovery was so easy this time.

New Addition

We have a new baby in the house! Baby Regan Lyn Sorrough was born on Monday, July 10th, at 11:26pm. She was 7lb. 9.9 oz. and 20 inch. A little bigger than Kylie. She is happy and healthy and a great sleeper! :0) Mom and baby came home on the morning of July 12th and mom is doing GREAT! Daddy is back to work and all of the usual. He stayed the night in the hospital with mom and baby the first night. Regan loves sleeping on his chest. Kylie loves being a big sister and gives Baby Regan lots and lots and lots and lots of kisses! She's geing a good helper and still such a pleasure. Bed time is a little rough because it seems I'm needed at the same time and Kylie is having a little trouble with that. She's a big girl though and still get lots of attention, she deserves it.
Thanks for all of your love and support. I'll get pictures out soon. We both think she looks a lot like Kylie did when she was born, a good mix of mom and dad. Here is a website where you can see her first professional photos: babyregan
It should take you right there.
Lots of love to our friends and family. We'll keep you posted.
Love,
Amber, Chris, Kylie & Baby Regan

First Shot



Hello Family,
A few friends are doing this now, getting all computer savvy on me and so I thought it would be a good idea to try. Never know until you try right!
We're all doing great. Awaiting our second addition to the little family any second now. Surprised she hasn't come yet. Don't worry, even though we don't have a definite name we have some picked out and won't leave the hospital without one.:0)
Chris is working on getting a job teaching. He wants to teach High School Spanish and coach b-ball. Hopefully all will work out for the best. The Lord has blessed us plenty and we know he will continue to. What's meant to be will be.
Kylie is so smart and stink'n cute. She loves to sing and dance. She talks so well and is such a good little helper. I can't wait to see her with her new baby sister :0)
Her favorite song is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and ABC's. She likes the usual Barney, Elmo, Disney movies, etc. We have pretty good tans going too. Loves the pool and likes her swim suit that helps her float the best so she can do it on her own. Shoes are her favorite accessory.
I'm loving the mommy thing and just trying to spend more one-on-one with Kylie before it runs out. Getting the usual done that needs to be taken care of. We stay busy though. We haven't had dinner as a family at home in over a week. I've been babysitting or Chris at church, or volunteering at Give Kids The World which is always nice.
Well, maybe this will be ongoing, that would be nice.
Hope you all enjoy.
Love yah
~Amber, Chris, Kylie and Baby?~
