Mike saw some of our friends from the ward at the circus and they got a picture of all of the kids together.

Circus Fun
Mike took Carson to the circus in Salt Lake yesterday. They said they had a great time and saw lots of animals (including goats that rode on top of miniature horses, I think) and motorcycles. They also rode the FrontRunner train from Ogden to downtown Salt Lake and Trax over to the Energy Solutions Arena (where the circus was).

The First Week
We've had Blake home for just over a week. So far I think we are adjusting pretty well. Mike took some time off from work and my mom and his mom have been here to help as well. I'll see how it goes on Monday when it's just me for the day!
Blake was a little bit jaundiced, so the doctor ordered him to be put on lights for 2 days to help him break down the extra bilirubin. The hard thing was that we could only take him out to feed him and change his diaper. Here's a picture of Carson and my dad trying to calm him down with the pacifier. It was so cute!
Carson hates to hear Blake cry. If Blake starts to get upset then Carson starts hunting for the pacifier. The first few days he would run around and say "fire, fire" (meaning pacifier) until he found it and stuck it in Blake's mouth. It was really funny. He loves to tell people that he is a big brother and he is a little protective. One time my mom was holding Blake and she said to him, "I would like to take you home with me." Carson heard and walked up to her with his index finger pointing at her and said, "You can't take him home. He's my brother and he needs to stay here." He was very serious about it too. :)
Here's another picture of the "bili-bed" (light bed) and Blake's first scrub at home.

Blake Blair Holt
We had our baby boy on Thursday, September 4th at 4:14 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 20 inches long. We're all doing great here. Carson seems to love being a big brother and Mike and I are in love with our new bundle of joy.
