Big Girl

McKinna has always been such a water baby. She will pour cold water on her head and laugh. We got her a small pool and she loves to sit with mommy in it and sing songs.



McKinna has been such a big helper since Jamison joined our family. She likes to help cook and clean. Even though it takes longer for mommy I know that it makes her happy to help.

5 Months Old

Jamison is wanting to be such a big boy already. He loves this toy because he sees and hears McKinna play with it often.




He has taken to cereal really well. He just likes to eat in general.



Jamison is all over the floor and loves to use his voice. He still is such a happy and smiley baby. McKinna loves to make him laugh.

4 Months Old

Jamison is doing so well. He giggles and smiles so much. He is such a content baby. This month he learned to roll over, grab his feet, grab his toys, blanket and binkie, and holds his head up with little to no wobbles. He has been such a pleasant baby. We love having him here.

3 Year Old Girl

McKinna turned 3 on April 13. We had a yellow party and invited a few friends. I can't believe she's 3 already. She is acting so big.
She still loves her little brother and kisses and "zurburts" him. She wants him to do more so he can play but she is being patient.

3 Months old

Jamison turned 3 months on Monday March 30. I can't believe how fast it went. McKinna is still so sweet with her brother. Now that he smiles and is a little more active, she enjoys having him around even more. Jamison is such a happy baby. He smiles so often and has started to giggle in the past few weeks. Jeremy and I are so happy to have such great kids.

Big Sister

McKinna loves to be involved in everything that has to do with Jamison. Since he takes a bottle so well we let her feed and burp him. I love that she loves her brother.

Silly Girl

McKinna says this is a "McKinna sandwich".

New Beds

McKinna was sleeping in the toddler version of the crib we bought her. Since Jamison will be out of our room soon and will need the crib, we got her a new "Princess bed". We were a little worried about the change, but as you can see she is very happy.







I think McKinna enjoyed this more than Jamison. He does seem to like having a little more room. He gets stuck sometimes in his bassinet. Just a few more weeks and this will be his permanent sleeping space. It makes me sad that he's growing so fast but excited that Jeremy will have our room back... sort of.

First Pictures

I love these pictures because he looks so precious (which he is of course). He looks so much like McKinna.
I was shocked he stayed awake for the whole session.

Jamison's Blessing

He looked so sweet and I couldn't believe we got this great of a picture. On her blessing day, McKinna was asleep for most of her photos.


McKinna had to be included in the photo shoot of Jamison. She wanted her picture taken on the blanket with him. She was trying to look like Jamison, hence the "far off look".

Proud Parents

This is our first family portrait. I realized we didn't have one, even from the hospital. It's weird how much you forget when it's your second child.

It was so fun having both of our families come up for the blessing. McKinna has been in heaven with all the people coming to "play with her." I've (and Jeremy too) have been so happy with her adjustment to adding a new brother. We have been blessed.

Life at Home with Two Kids

Well, a month has passed and we are settling into life with two kids. We were worried that McKinna would resent Jamison for taking up our time, but she loves him and can't walk past without kissing him on the forehead. She did see that he received lots of presents and new clothes. So, she decided to try on some of his clothes.

McKinna in Jamison's Clothes

Our favorite outfit she put together is this one.

Frodo McKinna

She does act like a baby to get attention and pretends to cry like Jamison to get what she wants.

Baby Mckinna

McKinna does do some sweet things for Jamison. I (Jeremy) had the kids alone and went upstairs to grab something. When I got downstairs I found that McKinna had given Jamison his stuffed animals for company while I was away.

All in all life with our two kids is great. Here are some random pictures of life in the Love home.

Our Newest Addition

At 1:30 AM on Tuesday December 30th, Tiffany's water broke and we dashed off to the hospital. At 3:48 AM, Jamison Jeremy Love was born (for those reading between the lines that means Tiffany didn't have time for an epidural). I have never been so impressed by my wife she is amazing. The nurses kept saying how great she was and were surprised that she was smiling and upbeat in between contractions and after the delivery. The recovery floor was packed (many people scheduled their inductions to get the tax benefit). We found out that Tiffany's recovery room is typically reserved for convicts with locks on the doors and a small outer room for the guard. Tiffany is recovering nicely and Jamison is getting cuter every day. Here are a few pictures of our bouncing baby boy.

Big Sister McKinna

McKinna was excited to see her baby brother. She told us she loves him and wants to hold him for as long as she can sit still. We are very blessed to have two wonderful children.

Santa Baby

Tiff was singing "Santa Baby" while playing with McKinna and me the other night. Later on McKinna reprised the song and added a little hip action. We had to take video the second time she did it because I was laughing so hard the first time. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Christmas McKinna

McKinna has been very excited about Christmas this year. She loves the Santa hat and stockings. The other day I was singing "Santa Baby" to her and Jeremy and ever since then she likes to put the hat on, put her hands on her hips and wiggle back and forth just singing "santa baby" over and over. She is so fun. The tree has been a little bit of a distraction for her this year. Last year she didn't take the ornaments off but this year she does. I think she likes to redecorate.

Very Pregnant

Well this is me at 34 weeks. I'm almost 36 weeks now and I'm so ready to have our baby here. Both because I want to be done and because I want to see his cute face. McKinna got to see him move the other day. I think it was the first time that she really understood that I had a baby in my belly. She puts her mouth to my belly and says "Hi Jamison Whata doing?" I'm excited to see how she does.

Sesame Street Fun

Jeremy won 4 tickets to Sesame Street Live on the radio. We took McKinna's friend Mya Oakes with us. The girls loved it. We got really good seats on the floor so the characters were really close. It was so fun for Jeremy and I too, mainly because the girls were so involved.

Our New Baby

We had our ultrasound today. The baby looks really healthy. The nurse asked me to come back in a couple weeks to get better shots of the heart and spine. The baby was really wiggly. We almost didn't see what the sex was because the cord was in the way and the baby didn't want to move its legs. The nurse was really sweet and told us she would look again after I saw my doctor. The second time the baby wasn't shy. We are having a little boy! We are really excited. McKinna said "yay it's a boy" (with daddy's help of course). She still is a little confused by it all, but she likes to say hi to my belly and asks the baby if he is sleeping.
We are going to name him Jamison Jeremy Love. We had a couple others picked out, but that seems to be the one we keep going back to. Anyway, we're really happy and now I feel like I can shop!

2 Year Old Pictures

We finally got around to getting McKinna her 2 year old pictures. We were really happy with how they turned out. I can say this because it's true, she is the most gorgeous girl on the earth.
