It's A Boy!!!!!

Charles Steven Post was born on Friday, September 7th at 11:10 am at Palomar Hospital in Escondido, CA. Charlie arrived after 9 hours of labor (though mom could argue it was weeks of labor...) measuring 8 pounds 9 ounces at 19.5 inches long.  He was born just an hour after getting to the hospital in a perfect, beautiful and fast natural delivery.

Both mom and baby are doing great, and big sisters Jessica & Izzy are in love.  Daddy's glad that he now has a little mini me around to help support the boys team.

Love,

The Post Family

Steve, Kat, Jessica, Izzy & Charlie

Loving my new iPhone!

Family Happenings in May 2012

Since I suck at blogging when pregnant, just thought I'd let some photos do the talking of what we've been up to:
 

 

 

 

 

 

At 3 Years Old

Miss Isabella Johanna
Or Izzy J as well like to call her....


At 3 years old she
Talks non-stop, and it's amazing how much her speech cleared up in the last year
Loves to cuddle
And make everyone in our family laugh
She loves to play with baby dolls
And is constantly moving
She claims to like Dora, but she almost never sits through an episode
She weighs 36.5lbs and is 38 inches tall. 90th percentile.  Solid little girl!
She loves to do whatever her big sister does
And she has decided to stop napping.  And sleeping in general. Mommy is going a bit insane (I'm going to keep baby #3 in the crib until college)
But usually she sleeps from 6:30/7 at night until about 6 in the morning
She is a "spirited" child
Loves to eat, but not at meal times.
She is a serious thumb sucker- either one works!
Her favorite foods are lollipops & m&m's, but she does a good deal of eating her fruits and veggies as well
Sucks both of her thumbs
Is coming predominately left handed.  Trying to teach her how to write and cut is a bit of a challenge for mommy!
Loves to play pretend, especially pretending to be a mommy- going to Target.
She's quite the personality, but make us laugh every single day!  Big Sister Jessica, Mommy & Daddy love you so very very much Miss Izzy J!

Izzy's 3rd Elmo birthday Party!

Izzy's 3 year photoshoot....

...if you can call it that.  She wasn't so into getting her picture taken, but I got a few cute ones. They capture her personality, that's for sure!
 

 

 

 

How time flies

We went to the beach last weekend- because San Diego was rocking some BEAUTIFUL weather and we wanted to take full advantage.
My girls are beach girls all the way- and when I told them we would go to the beach as soon as I put the groceries away, they zipped upstairs, only to reappear less than 5 minutes in full beach attire:

So nice that they can get ready themselves now! I just had to slather on the sunscreen and we were ready to go :)
Jessica was more interested in playing in the water than letting Mommy snap pictures, but I got some cute ones of Izzy.  Looking at them later, I could not get over how big Izzy has gotten.  No more baby in her- good thing there is another on the way ;)
