8 lbs 15 oz
20 inches long

Warning this may be a very long post!

Look at the size of him!

I never thought I would have a baby over 7.5 lbs let alone almost 9 lbs.

Daddy is giving him his first bath.

Sam was so excited.

My dad calls newborns: EatSleepNPoop - which would describe Hyrum perfectly. He sleeps very well, and loves to be cuddled.

Nana holding him. Papa held him a bunch, but no pictures

Mmm, wonder where Hyrum gets liking to sleep from. Sam got more sleep than I did!

Jaydee came in and wanted to hold her baby brother right away. She was okay with Mommy staying one more night in the hospital, but she wanted to take her baby brother home with her.

Grandma Flake with #30 grand child!

He is ready to go home! I loved this newborn outfit, but I had brought a premie outfit because I didn't think there was any way he could wear it. It fit perfect.

Take a picture of me! (First thing she said when we got home from the hospital)

I had the whole birth story but it is gone. I'll write more later. I had to pay bills. :P

Hope you are feeling great and that Hyrum keeps on being a good sleeper. Weston was like that for 4 nights...then he felt comfortable enough with us to act like a real newborn!; 9/16/08, 5:29 PM

Jaydee Quotes

I want socks for Christmas.

Oct
Deedra hollered "Kaydee Lee DeWitt" Jaydee called back "I'm not a witch."

Jaydee wanted to go play outside, she came & sat by Sam as he put on his shoes, he said Okay lets go. She told him "You go play, I'll watch."

Mom, Deedra called me Jaydee Fern, I'm not a Fern, I'm Jaydee Flake.

Can I have a water pop? (Otter pop). She also called the elevator an alligator at Aspen Grove.

7-5-08
Jaydee sat on my lap and touched my belly, she looked up at me and said "My baby brother is getting big!"

7-3-08
I want to be a cowboy. Jaydee likes her boots, hat and "buckle" and wants everything to be cowboy, when she wouldn't eat breakfast (a real breakfast of hashbrowns, eggs & bacon) she didn't eat it until Sam told her it was cowboy food. I think it is funny because she is very pro girl lately and doesn't like boys, but she likes cowboy not cowgirl...

Jaydee was taking a test, the lady asked her where groceries go? In the House. Where does cold food go? In the fridge. Where does really cold stuff like ice cream go? Jaydee paused and the lady prompted her again, where do I put my ice cream? In your tummy! Definitely a Flake answer.

5-10-08
Jaydee came in and told Sam "I'm going to Blow You Away." Sam turned to me and wanted to know what my brothers had been teaching her. Jaydee then finished "I'm going to huff and puff and blow you away." Sam had been reading her 3 little pigs.

5-5-08
We were coloring pictures on mother's day cards for Grandmas. Jaydee sang Itsy Bitsy Spider while coloring so I helped her draw a spider, rain & sun on the card and wrote a little note so Grandma would know why there was a spider. She loves that song and sings and does the actions. I need to do a video of it!

After watching Deedra's twins, Jaydee pointed to my belly and said "2 babies" then giggled and said "No, only 1!" She counts with her fingers for each of these. I have been quite vocal about telling her only 1, so I am glad she gets it.

4-15-08
Jaydee put her own band-aid on her knees then we put on pjs and she pulled up the pant leg to look at the band-aid, it had stuck to the pjs. She laughed and said "Silly Jaydee! I put it on upside down!"

Jaydee told me last night on the way home from eating fish (that my dad caught in Mexico) that Papa’s food was too hot and she couldn’t eat any of it. (She had cleaned her plate) but I will give her the fish and potatoes did have a lot of pepper ( I had tried to get most of the pepper off).

Last night while we were packing Jaydee disappeared and then it got really quiet. Fearing the worst I ran in to check on her, she was up on the counter with a sucker in her hand. “Look Mommy, Candy! I want a sucker!” I got her down and explained that it was too late for a sucker, it was bed time, but we could pack it and she could have it tomorrow. We put it in her little back pack, then went back and brushed teeth and sent her to bed, she went without any complaining or crying. I poked my head in there to find her on her bed laying down, I turned off the light and gave her the flashlight (new idea to try to keep her in bed.) 20 minutes later found me with the lights out and in bed. Then I heard a tiptoeing little girl come into my room, not a word she said, but I heard something get thrown in the trash and out she went, by the hall light I saw a sucker in her mouth! I had to giggle for a few minutes before I could go and get the sucker and explain that she still couldn’t have it while Sam brushed her teeth again. I couldn’t believe that she came in to throw away the wrapper. So she has learned an important lesson: don’t throw away evidence in front of mom.
