Belated Introduction of Kylan Joseph

So my surprise baby was another boy...not too much of a surprise to me since I was convinced from the beginning I would be welcoming another son. Well, on May 18th the blessed event occured and at 10:25pm Kylan Joseph entered the world weighing 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19 inches. Now you may be confused by his name, don't worry you're not alone. No, I did NOT name my child after a Disney anime character known as Ni Hao Kai Lan...its pronounced K-Eye-Lyn, a bit of a combo of Kyle and Dylan. I was completely smitten from my first look at him even though he was covered in goo. The poor little guy went completely unnamed until the day we left the hospital although Landon lovingly referred to him as 448. I believe those to be his favorite numbers but really who understands the interworkings of a two year old's mind?

Kylan has been a welcomed member of the family and has been incredibly laid back. He's definitely giving me a break when it comes to demanding behavior and sleepless nights so far though I'm not so naive to think it will be such smooth sailings forever. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for this little guy because God definitely has a purpose in loaning him to me. He has gained a new name since he's become more expressive and is showing off his personality and all his sweetness. Most days he's Muffin or if I'm feeling a bit more formal he's Mr. Muffin. I love that Brayden is also referring to him as Muffin now too. Man, I'm SO blessed to have such amazing little boys around me.













These are all of his "brand new" pictures but I haven't exactly gotten around to uploading all of his most recent pictures unless of course you count the ones of him in his cloth diapers but that is for another entry. Nevertheless, this is my fantastic little boy. When we decided on his name I did a few google searches to see if there was a meaning behind Kylan. Since I couldn't find anything I decided that meant I could make up my own meaning to his name....it means AWESOME!!
