Family of FOUR!

  I see that it has been quite some time since I have posted and I'm sure most of you know by now that we were blessed with a beautiful baby GIRL on December 14th. :) She weighed 7lb. 1oz. and was 20 inches long at birth. She is absolutely perfect and we were more than surprised that we had a girl (as we were both thinking we'd have another boy).
  Sadie Kay Hicks has really been a great baby! She sleeps really well and is a fairly relaxed baby. She has definitely been more vocal in the recent days, but overall, she is very good! She currently weighs just over 10 lbs, so she is gaining weight which is a good sign. She has outgrown her newborn clothes and is into her 3 month wardrobe! Her next dr, appointment is February 14th, so we will know where she fits on the growth charts at that time. Sadie is the perfect fit to complete our little family!
 Nolan is doing great as well! He is the most amazing big brother to Sadie. He kisses her all the time and is constantly making sure she has everything she needs... and I mean EVERYTHING. If he sees one of her blankets or toys lying around, he will grab it and immediately bring it over to her and set it on top of her. Needless to say, Sadie has been COVERED with things at times because Nolan is 'helping'. :) It is great to see though, and he really hasn't been jealous of Sadie at all. He is 20 months old and is SO incredibly smart. It is amazing to see how much he learns and applies every day. He's growing up way too fast :(.
  Aaron and I are doing good too. Aside from the lack of sleep here and there, we are chugging right along. We were really blessed to have my parents up here to help out with the kids for the first couple of weeks, and his parents have watched the kids a number of times to allow us to go out for some dinners and dates. So, thanks to them, we are keeping our sanity! :)
  All in all, we are doing just great and are really loving our family of four (plus Bromley). Bromley has realized he is bottom on the totem pole, but he is handling it pretty well. He is great with the kids and you can tell they love him too.
  Here are some pictures over the past couple of months:

 We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and that the new year is off to a great start! Stay warm and love you all!
