Visiting Mommy in hospital

It's cute when he puts his hands in his pockets.

Just had a C-section, spent all night on a hospital gurney being woke up every 5 minutes, no make-up... and she's still beautiful!

Cozy on Mommy...z z z z z

 
Yes we decorated his bassinet with airplanes and helicopters. never to soon too get him started! 

Tyler James VanSant is here!

Born July 7, at 11:25
5 lbs 10 oz, 18 inches

He and Kristin are doing fine. Kristin will be in the hospital until Saturday or Sunday. She is sore but recovering well. Tyler will probably be in the NICU for a couple weeks. He is doing really well. Breathing strong and heart rate is perfect. He is able to maintain his own temperature. Eyes are open and sucking on a pacifier like a champ.

A couple more days and Tyler will be here. We are all set to go in this Wednesday. Grandma came in on Saturday and we are sure glad to have her here. She and Jake made cookies and cupcakes this weekend. Pretty relaxing 4th, just a couple trips to the park and a bbq.

We had a little scare Friday. Kristin went in for an ultrasound and the baby’s heartbeat was a little high. They sent her to Labor and Delivery, luckily our good friend Diane was with her. When she got to Labor and Delivery the baby’s heart rate went back down. They kept Kristin over night to monitor everything and the baby’s heart stayed normal. She is back home now but it looks like she will have to go into the hospital to stay for a couple weeks before the C-section. We’ll find more about when that will be this week.

Jake is doing fine, usual little ball of energy.

Jam packed weekend. We took Jake to a gymnastics class Saturday morning to help burn up some of his endless supply of energy. Saturday afternoon, Jake and I took a plane up and flew around San Diego. Sunday morning we went to Sea World for a few hours. Nice long naps for everyone in the afternoon. We had a great steak dinner and a delicious homemade Father's day cake that Kristin baked and decorated with ice cream.

Not much to report. Just having fun!

Trying on Daddy's SAR swimmer gear

Jake had to get glasses, he is a little nearsighted in one eye. We thought we would have a problem keeping them on him but he has done really well. We had a fun weekend. Yesterday we went boating with Walt and Monica or as Jake says, "Walk" and "Ca". Today Jake and I went to the air show at Gillespie field.

He always remembers to get a cookie for Daddy too.

Happy Memorial Day!
Jake got his big boy and new room. He has done really well. He only got up a few times in the middle of the first night. We had lunch Saturday with Keith, Bev and their son Jacob at Red Robin. Sunday, Vito, Diane and Christian came over for a BBQ.
