Happy New Years Eve

Happy New Years Eve!!!

As my son said this morning we are going to "paaaarty".

He's quite excited because we have decided to spend the night with him and throw him a little kid friendly party complete with a confetti gun, games, horns, hats and noisemakers. I've even gotten him some sparkiling grape juice (I used to love drinking it and feeling grown up when I was little).

Hope everyone has a safe night.

Attached are some Christmas Pics. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.

In baby news....my little piggy is getting SOOOOO big! She is now eating two jars of food a day and weighed 13 lbs 1 oz at her doctor appointment today. She's tripled her birth weight. It's amazing to remember how small she was. Thankfully she isn't behind developmentally one bit. She's smiling, laughing, holding small toys, and babbling now.

New Blogger

After some convincing.....I've finally decided to start a family blog.

I guess the first thing I should do is give everyone The Closs Family Backround.

Last year around this time me and my now husband Dave met and fell in love. We found out we were expecting a baby in February......boy was that a shocker. I allready had a five year old son, and wasn't quite ready for another. This baby turned out to be our biggest blessing ever. She brought Dave and I together and during the middle of a very difficult pregnancy we decided to get married. Around 25 weeks into my pregnancy I went into labor and was diagnosed with placental abruption.....very scary. I was put on immediate bed rest and spent a total of 30 days or so over the next 10 weeks in the hospital. It was tough on all of us....but I guess this is when I really realized how in love with Dave I was and I knew that he would be there for us forever. After two more abruptions Kaitlyn Noelle Closs was delivered on August 15 at 35 weeks. She was the teeniest, sweetest, most beautiful baby ever (well besides her brother).

Kaitlyn is now 4 1/2 months old and Brandon is now 6.
