Happy Thanksgiving :: Nana in town}

We were super lucky after Auntie Kels left Brady took a few days off of work {a special treat that this was my first baby to have happen} and then I only had 2 days on my own before Nana came to town. 

 Thanks to Nana we had a grand traditional Rabner Thanksgiving. I didn't even help much due to sitting and nursing 90 percent of  the day. 

 Daddy and the big boys went and played football while we stayed home and slaved in the kitchen. 

 Ollie was a HUGE helper with the pie crust....

 We could not keep him off of the counter or out of the flour. 

 the things this kid gets away with while I'm nursing sissy. 

Sad to say we didn't get a family photo. 

{Grayson :: Painting}

It has been SUPER hard to find the time/energy to do fun things with the big boys since Pyper has joined our family so Grayson was super pumped that I let him get the paints and TP holders out to craft with. He made some pretty cool binoculars. Little Gray Gray you have the sweetest smile. 

{Pyper Adeline :: First Bath}

Little Miss P enjoyed her first bath once she got her passie. We are still trying to decide if she will have curly hair. It is starting to look like it might be auburn which I am super excited about. 

{Ryker and Pyper}

Ryker is such a sweet gentle big brother. This photo melts my heart. 

{Snuggling Sissy}

These sweet brothers love to hold and snuggle and kiss Little Miss P.  They both say almost every time I am nursing "mom I want to see her eyes!" and then get all up in our business. 

 Sweet little newborns are my favorite. I love everything about them. Needless to say our house has no shortage of love in it right now. 

{Snuggle Naps :: Pyper Adeline}

First day own my own as a mama of 4 and enjoying a snuggle nap. This is my favorite stage. I love snuggle naps. 

{Ollie Max meets Pyper}

Ollie Max was too sweet saying good bye to Pyper. I think these two are going to be best buddies. 

{Pyper's First Dance Party :: 3 Days Old}

Auntie Kels introduced us to newborn baby dance parties to try and get them to wake up. 

We are sure going to miss you Auntie Kels. So glad we got to have you for a few days. 

{Pyper Adeline coming home :: First Time}

Baby girl is almost 2 days old and we FINALLY are coming home!! We are all VERY excited about this. And I am very excited about Pyper wearing her first of many bonnets. I just love them a LOT and I think she looks so sweet in this gown and bonnet. We are already having too much fun dressing her up. 

 Little miss P already has her daddy wrapped around her finger. He is so in love with his baby girl. 

 Proud parents. 

Also we were super excited that we were taking home a baby in the 7 pounds. That is a FIRST for our family. Not that she will stay this tiny for long but enjoying it for a second. 

 Ryker was begging to hold her right when we got home. 

Auntie Kles said that whenever she was holding Pyper baby Lucy would start kicking her like crazy. We think Lucy was sad to not be with Pyper in heaven anymore. Im sure that in a few years these little cousins will be best buddies. I love that Kels and I have shared 3 of our pregnancies. Such fun memories. 

{Day 2 in the hospital :: Pyper Adeline}

 First family photo.

Wood party of 6.

 Ollie melted my heart he didn't want to get off of my lap. He was so sweet and excited to be holding Pyper. He was just smiling and softly touching her. So much love in this room. 

 This is what Pyper thought about not being swaddled up. 

She was much happier with daddy once we got her swaddled. This was the first night Brady has EVER spent at the hospital with me after having a baby. Not really sure how he lucked out until now. It was pretty crazy I was the only patient this night on the whole maternity floor. Those nurses just got to snuggle Pyper all night except for when I was feeding her. Im sure that was a win for everyone. They got sweet newborn snuggles and I got a little bit of sleep. 

{Pyper Meets Brothers :: First Time}

Auntie Kels brought the boys up to the hospital that night to meet little miss Pyper. Ryker was SUPER excited to meet her and Ollie was not so sure of her and Gray Gray had fallen asleep on the drive up and didn't wake up until a few mins before they left. 

Just a few hours fresh from heaven. 

 I have waited my whole life to have a little girl of my own. When I was little my mom said I would tell people I was only going to have little girls and then the Lord had different plans for our family and blessed us with a house full of boys and now we have our sister. We are all so happy to have her in our family. 

 Ryder's first time holding Pyper. He is such a sweet BIG brother and I know he will be her protector FOREVER!

First partial family photo... Grayson was asleep in the stroller still. 

Ryker did such a great job holding Pyper. 

 I can't believe that he let Auntie Kels transfer him to the stroller and that he actually stayed asleep. That NEVER happens. 

We were so blessed to have Auntie Kels come and help us. She was awesome at taking care of the boys, our home, and baking me anything and everything that sounded tasty. She even brought me pumpkin cinnamon rolls {that I had been craving} and homemade chicken noodle soup and rolls to the hospital. Which was a BIG deal because the hospital food was terrible.
