Our Newest Addition to the Family
Welcome to the family, little George!
George Cooler Rogers was born at
12:22 pm on Monday, October 7, 2013.
He was our biggest baby boy
at 8 pounds 3 ounces and 21.5 inches long.
Maybe the third time is a charm... this was by far the easiest delivery of the three boys. I was so nervous, but thanks to the multitude of prayers lifted, George's delivery was smooth and quick! Sam was breach so we had to do a c-section, Patrick was a difficult V-BAC, and George was a scheduled induction. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not good about handling pain so I was nervous about each and every one of my deliveries. I would do all three of them again to have these precious children, though. Alan and I are blessed to have these three little boys in our lives.
The weekend before our induction, my mom and dad kindly offered to take Sam and Patrick so Alan and I could continue working to have the house ready for George...and hopefully get some rest before his delivery as well. On the way to their house to drop of the boys, I slammed my pinky finger in the car door. So much for my relaxing night and weekend! THAT HURT!
We arrived at the hospital early Monday morning. Things went so fast. I remember Alan's friend Eddie was visiting and while the two of them were talking, I started feeling some of the pressure that the nurse said I'd feel. But it was so early, the nurse thought maybe it was just the pressure on my bladder from the baby or the catheter. But it kept getting stronger...so right after Eddie left, she checked and sure enough we were ready to have a baby! Soon enough, George arrived. I was overjoyed to be able to hold him! He was a big baby...bigger than the other two boys.
His brothers absolutely adore him.
They always want to give him kisses on the forehead and touch his little feet.
Patrick especially likes to give him his paci. He thinks he needs it all the time, even if he isn't crying.
Our house is full of energetic little boys. We are a full family who is blessed beyond belief.
At times, we feel tired and stressed, but our hearts are full of a love that is more than we could have ever dreamed. We are thankful everyday for our family.
Happy Birthday Patrick!
Patrick is two!
Just look at that smile. Patrick has the most beautiful smile and contagious laugh.
At two years old, he loves anything that has to do with his Grandpa Loss (he calls him "Papa") and his Daddy.
Patrick has the sweetest manners.
When asking for something he always says it in this way: "more oatmeal, please, mommy" and " thank you, mommy".
I just love the way he includes the name of whomever he is speaking to the end of his request.
Where Sam used to point out every basketball hoop as we drove around town,
Patrick likes to point out each and every motorcycle he sees.
Although, he seems to think that his Grandpa is always the one riding the motorcycle.

He loves to laugh and be silly with his big brother.
He loves to play outside riding all the various kinds of bikes we have accumulated in our garage
and he loves chasing his brother and Daddy--always trying to get a good tackle.

He likes to eat oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, and fruit snacks.
He loves for his Daddy to read to him before bed each night and
then rock with him in the rocking chair.

He likes to sing and dance!
He's growing fast and talking and learning more and more each day.
We love you and your sweet smile, Patrick! Happy Birthday!
