Tysen is Here!!

We are excited to announce that our little guy is here. Tysen Daniel Lovio was born on September 10, 2009. He weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz. and measured 21 1/2 inches. I had a really great delivery (especially once the epidural kicked in!) and my only complaint was that Sydney was not allowed upstairs. Because of the swine flu no one under 14, including siblings were allowed upstairs. She played in the lobby, but kept asking for Tysen and Mommy. Danny was amazing and has been ever since we have gotten home. He has really taken to being a dad of two and manages to potty Syd, make me breakfast and take care of Tysen all at the same time. Sydney is also a dream and a good big sister. She is constantly giving Tysen kisses and wants to hold him. She is still learning about being gentle and has had a few meltdowns, but overall is great. Now if I can just get them to nap at the same time! :) Tysen is a mellow baby and nurses like a champ. I think he resembles Sydney but is all boy in person. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing little family and I am grateful for the support of all my family and friends. Here are a few pictures from the hospital and the day we got home. Keep and eye out for more to come.

The Face

This started about 3 weeks ago and I had to blog about it so I will never forget it. One morning Sydney woke up and asked for milk as usual and then she gave me the cheesiest smile ever! I started cracking up and it has stuck. Whenever she wants something or is trying to be funny she gives us "the face." I personally think it is the cutest thing in the whole world. The best part is she holds "the face" for at least a minute, to get the maximum affect. She sure knows how to work it, and so far it works on all parties in the vicinity. :)

Beach House 2009

Finally some pictures from the Newport Beach House. Hope you enjoy!

Baby's Room

Wanted to share pictures of Tysen's baby room. It took awhile to get it all painted and pulled together, but it is finally done. Now if I would only have the baby...

End of Summer

Don't you just hate when it comes to an end? Honestly though, its not like I work or go to school, so the whole year is summer for me (don't hate) but you can still feel the change. Everyone is busy, back to normal life and things are not as relaxed. Although this heat makes me wish it was not only the end of summer but well into Fall! The other day after Danny had cut the lawn we turned on the sprinklers and Sydney could not resist. I also had to get a few pictures and to me it was just the perfect ending to an amazing and fun summer.
