Kanyon's 2nd Birthday Party

Kanyon will be 2 on May 14th. We had to celebrate her birthday a little early since we will be in NY next week.

We had a "Word World" themed birthday party for her. For anyone who doesn't know what that is....it is a cartoon that teaches kids letters. Kanyon loves it. Her favorite character is "Duck". He was pictured on our napkins.

To stick with the "Word World" theme, we used lettered candles on her cupcakes. These were fabulous "Pink Lemonade Cupcakes". They were really YUMMY!

The Queen at the head of the table.

She got finger paints & nail polish... who would do that to the mother of a 2 year old?!?! haha, ...Thanks Granny & Dave =) I do have to say that she was super excited to get them.

March/April Catch-up

Starting to smile!

Poor Ridge...

Kanyon sure does love her Little Brother.

It was hard to get a good picture of the 4 of us. After many attempts, this was as good as it got.

A couple more pics

I like to think that he is screaming "GO GATORS" in this picture. :)

Little Drummer Girl

Here is another video of Kanyon. This time she is having fun playing the drums at Granny's house. We have invested in a "real" camcorder, however, this video was taken on a cell phone. It's hard to break old habits, haha....sorry about the quality of the video, but hopefully you get the idea.

Ridge Robert Christensen

Boys are trouble....it starts from the very beginning....

About a week before I was planning on delivering, Ridge still hadn't turned around to enter the birth canal. He had been laying horizontal across my belly for months and just didn't want to go the rest of the way. My doctor suggested that we try to manually flip this baby. So we went into the hospital, and externally, my doctor tried to flip this stubborn baby boy. After 15 minutes of pushing and pulling on my belly, the doctor decided it wasn't going to work. About a week later I went back to the doctor and we found out that the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck 3 times!! This made the cord too short to allow him to move all the way around. Poor little guy! My doctor said that there was a possibility that he could wiggle his way out of that mess and allow me to have a normal delivery, however, the possibility was low, unless he was an acrobat. We ended up deciding to schedule a C-Section. I felt better doing that than taking the chance of stressing the baby out in case he didn't "unravel".

So, my appointment was set for 6:00pm on Thursday, March 18th. This picture is of us on our way....

Here we are waiting to be admitted....

Jake's ready to go have this baby!

My procedure started at 6PM on the dot. Ridge Robert Christensen was born at 6:16PM, weighing in at 7lbs 6oz, measuring 19.5 inches long.

Kanyon is loving being a big sister (so far). She has such a great "motherly instinct" that she melts my heart everyday. She loves to hold the bottle for him and any time he cries she'll say "Don't cry Ridge". However, the way she says "Ridge" sounds more like "Roosh". Its super cute.

Kanyon liked to help push Ridge back to the nursery.

Let's go home!

Not sure why Kanyon isn't wearing any pants....this is what happens when she is left home alone. (Just Kidding!)

Mason loves his new cousin!

Bath time!

Nana & Ridge

I still don't understand why they only look like this when the sun is up....

Kanyon

I always like when Kate updates her blog with her kids favorite things. I thought that I might do that with Kanyon, now that she is getting a little personality and making her own choices.

Favorite people to play with: Mason & Logan (she calls them "may may" & "doe doe")
