Tracy and Aubree Cate come to visit

Friday, April 24, 2009

Thanks so much for coming to visit us and to meet Baylor. We so enjoyed the visit, let's do it more often. I think that Aubree Cate taught John McLean a few of her "tricks" while she was here!!!!

Sweet love and kisses for Baylor.

Whacha got Mama?

"Mama, I promise this is how Aubree Cate told me to do it!!!"


Happy First Birthday, John McLean

Thursday, April 23, 2009

We can't believe that a whole year has gone by with our little man!!!! We can still remember hoping and praying for you and finally finding out that you were on your way! One year ago was one of the happiest days of our lives and we love you more and more each and every day. You are growing up to be such a big boy and we love every little thing about you...your beautiful smile, your stubborn little ways, the way you dance (just like Daddy, poor thing) and the way you give such wonderful love and kisses. Happy First Birthday Baby!!!!

Getting ready for "school".


This looks like fun!


This is good!


YUM!!! Chocolate!!!


I have Papa eating out of my hands!

Baylor and John McLean meet

Sunday, April 19, 2009

Coming home was exciting for all. John McLean was so excited to meet his little brother. He had many kisses for him and the term "Be easy with the baby" has become VERY common around our house!

Welcome Little Baylor!

Friday, April 17, 2009

We are so happy to announce that Baylor Smith Wood was born on Monday, April 13th at 8:57 am. He came into our lives weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. He is just amazing and we are so happy to have him here safe and sound. Shortly after he was born, his blood sugar levels dropped which landed him in the Special Care Nursery. Once there, his breathing was a little fast so he had to stay there for the first night. He was in the exact same bed as John McLean was and had the very same sweet nurse. He decided to regulate his breathing on his own and by Tuesday night was in the room with Mama and Daddy! We are so thankful for small miracles!!! We love you Baby Baylor!!

Easter Weekend

Thursday, April 16, 2009

We had a very busy weekend for Easter. The activities began at Ms. Wanna's house on Friday for John McLean's first Easter Egg Hunt. All of the kids had such a wonderful time - Ms. Wanna is the best!!! Thanks for making our party so fun! On Saturday, we spent a relaxing day at Mimi and Papa's pool - actually John McLean has his own pool that sits beside the big pool as none of us are brave enough to jump in the cold pool!! We played with Meredith, Ed, Will, Bryce and Rippy - that dog makes John McLean belly laugh for no particular reason at all!! It is soooo funny. Sunday was busy from very early. When we woke up, we found that the Easter bunny left baskets full of things for John McLean and for Baylor. John McLean had fun looking to see what was in his basket and found out that he LOVES chocolate M&M's - wonder who he gets that from???? Baylor got a bunny that will go to the hospital to greet him. Next, we had a quick Sunday School lesson and then off for the egg hunt. All of the kids looked so cute in their Easter best and had a great time finding all the eggs at church. John McLean is satisfied with just one to hold on to, but Will and Bryce found TONS!!! Later that day, we went to Mom and Dad's house for Easter lunch/dinner. Pop and Peggy came over and as usual, the food was delicious! This montage is a little long, but it was such a fun time!!
