Look who's the big 4 months!



I'm starting out with her 3 month picture since I got a little busy and forgot to post that one. See how big she is getting? Man....
Oh, and her 4 month sign says "Can you believe I'm already 4 months? Momma and Daddy can't either!"

Our sweet little girl (as she sits here on my shoulder falling asleep) is now 4 months old. The time has flown by already. Before we know it she will be a teenager trying to avoid time with mom and dad b/c they are SOOO uncool. Yeah, right, we're going to be the coolest parents EVAH! Don't all parents say that?

Donavyn has been a blessing to our lives. One year ago we thought we may never have children biologically and yet here we are. Who knew that our lives would be this blessed just one year later? We have gone from no children to two in no time flat.

Donavyn is a sweet, cuddly baby. She is daddy's little girl through and through. She has been since day one. She loves her momma too though. As I get her up in the morning I sing "You are my Sunshine" and continue with it as I change her diaper. She wakes up with a smile and that is a GREAT day to start the day.

She loves to be talked to and cooed at. She is a very strong girl and loves to watch big brother play. She likes to play in her exersaucer (as long as she gets picked up after about 15 minutes for snuggle time). She is THIS close to rolling over and is persistent as all get out. She likes to talk to our Christmas bears (we still have them up since they are a source of great entertainment to her) and I think she's going to be a lot like me.

She's our princess and always will be. We love her and are extremely thankful for God bringing her to us.

Don't blink! You may miss something as she is growing so... fast! Believe me, I can remember when her mother was that size and it really does not seem so...very long ago, only a couple of years I believe! It will not be long till we will be there with you four.
Have a Donavyn and Gabriel sandwich for us. "God is good all the time and all the time God is good" Love Mom and Dad (Grandma & Papaw)

Ok, so here's my quarterly post

Sorry I've been so bad about updating. Almost everyone is on Facebook , so I just usually do updates there, but I've been meaning to do this. Hopefully I'll be better. This will just be a quick recap of our summer and early fall.Back in June, we all went to San Diego for a few days. Zach was invited by the Discovery Channel to be interviewed for "After the Catch" - the post season recap with the captains of the "Deadliest Catch" vessels. We decided that the kids and I would go to, since we had the miles and the hotel would be paid for. We had a blast. If you want to see pics from our trip, HERE is a link to the ones on my FB. Ben Bailey was the host this year and it turns out he and Zach look a lot alike. Kinda crazy. See? On July 1, Zach pinned on 0-4. Melissa was nice enough to watch the kids for me, so I could go pin him on. We had the wetting down (military tradition for promotions) in September. We went in with the Dorval's and Becca's XO f...

Potty Trained!

Image
Miss Donavyn is officially potty trained! She's even waking up in the middle of the night to sit on the potty or upset b/c she's pee peed in her pull up. She's doing great. Anyway...we're SO proud of her and she loves hearing that too. I believe we have figured out her love language - words of affirmation with a close second of physical touch. We tried doing the M&M's and stickers, but she didn't really care, just wanted us to give her a big hug and tell her how proud we are of her. Gabriel likes to help her celebrate too. She is so skinny though that panties are just saggy on her. I guess I'll be putting the underwear pattern I bought to good use. Just have to order fabric now. Oh, and she just HAS to read her books while on the potty. She can stay in there forever just sitting on her potty and reading. She gets that from her daddy. *snort* Here are some extra videos. The first is Gabriel and Zach at dinner. Don't mind Zach's hair....he had issu...

Introducing...

Donavyn Faith Koehler!!! Born Sept 25th 2007 at 6:33 pm. She weighed in at 5 lbs 14 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. It's been an exhausting couple of days but we are finally home and couldn't be happier!! We really appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers. We couldn't have done this without the support of everybody out there!! I hate to lump you all together like this but if I were to list everyone of you I think I would break the internet. You are all so special to us and we are truly blessed to have you as friends and family. Mother and Daughter are doing just fine and hopefully 0nce we get settled in a little bit more we'll be able to share our story with you. We have most of it already written but every time we would try to finish it and get it posted we would be interrupted by a doctor or nurse. But no more interruptions now!! (yeah right) But we promise we will get more pictures posted and fill you in on the exciting new addition to our family. God Bless You ...
