Welcome, Walter Lewis


It's hard for me to believe this is my reality, 2 sons. :) Walter joined us at 2:11pm on Friday, July 18, 2014 (6 days late). He weighed 7lbs 3 oz and was 20 inches long.

With it being my second time around, I expected labor to be "quick" and while painful, manageable. I was wrong.  


Contractions started at 7pm while we were over at Nic's dad's house. We made it the hospital and the following morning at 9:30am I was told Walter was sunny side up and labor was not progressing.


I got an epidural around 10:30am and then with a little more patience on our part, Walter Lewis Kline was born.









It's been over 5 months now and all be it exhausting, it is a blast hanging out and living life with these two little boys. I'm trying to take photos each month, but man life is full and it is hard.


more of newborn wlk...


so helpful when lincoln would try to pick him up, aka push him.


 1 month wlk


wlk at 2 months, limited photos of this age. I think exhaustion was the primary factor in September. 

Lincoln at almost 2 and wlk 3 months 




4 months and almost 2 was busy. Below is the best shot I got of these two. Lincoln is saying "cheeeeeeese". He's getting the hang of smiling for the camera...


Still need to do 5 month photos. :)

Lincoln is speaking in 4 word phrases and tonight I was the victim of his manipulation: "I poopy" he told me during bed time. So I got him back up, took him to the nursery to change him... And, of course, there was nothing! He did not need changing, that little trickster. But really, he is a happy kid who loves learning, music, chasing Neosho and especially motorcycles and trains.

Walter still primarily eats, sleeps, and cries. He is rolling around and finding his hands tasty.

Nic has been an incredible father to these two boys. I love hearing him read, pray, and sing to them. So grateful for life with these 3 boys.


Merry Christmas!
-Nicolas, Julie, Lincoln (2), and Walter (5 months)
