The Rivera Family blog: Newest Edition to the Rivera Household

Well it has been 5 months since we were blessed with another beautifuly baby boy, and it has been about that long since I have posted on this blog....coincidence? probably not. Kian was born on May 17, 2012 at 1:25 am. We thought he was going to be born on the 16th, but he wasn't ready. He was 7 lbs 4 ounces and 20 and 1/4 inches long. He was born 2 weeks early. He looked a lot like Kai at birth except he had a full head of hair and I do mean a full head.

He has brought so much change to our house, but with that came lots of happiness, joy and love. Big brother was so curious when he first met him at the hospital and continues to want to know what is going on, how he can help and he truly can't wait until baby brother gets bigger and can play legos with him...lol

We were blessed with visits from Grandma Carmen, titi Liza, uncle Anthony, cousin Brianna and Ba ngoai and not to mention the local family members, the Edgars and titi Lisa.

The first 3 months were quite a challenge for us. We had to get used to the lack of sleep, the constant need for either the baby or Kai. And to top it all off, Kian was colick and had horrible gas that would wake him up every morning at 4 am and make him grumpy evey night around 4 pm. I also had some minor complications after he was born and ended up having an outpatient surgery.

Kian continues to grow and amaze us. He is such a happy baby and loves to babble all the time. He is very intrigued by big brother and watches everything he does. He constantly laughs when big brother does something silly or is just playing with him. It is truly precious to see the two of them interact. It will be interesting to see them grow up together.
