And he's off.....

Little Man is 4!!!

 Bright and EARLY Little Man entered our room b/c he was ready to open gifts. 

He enjoyed all of his presents...but the kit full of costumes was the big hit!  

Daddy and I got him a big boy bike.  It has training wheels but they need to be taken off.   Several weeks back Little Man jumped on his sisters bike and took off!  No training wheels for him.  

I'm telling you, this kid is something!

We had his party at the pool Sunday evening.  

Baby girl missed most of the party.....she was hot and tired :)

But, everyone else had a great time!

Last Day of School 2011

One Month Old

 Baby Girl is ONE MONTH OLD!

Biggest challenge....being motivated to keep up on household chores 

b/c I would rather be loving on her! 

Everyone says she looks like Little Man....

I think she looks like Sister #2 when she was a babe.

She looks very serious most of the time.

I think she is still trying to figure this crazy family out.

She spends about half the day wrapped up and attached to me.
It seems to be her favorite place to be.  (And I love it too!)

I can't wait for the smiles that should be headed our way in the next couple of weeks.

She is just perfect!!

Not sure how to name this post.....

Any suggestions??

Dance

Big Sis had her recital this last weekend.  She did a great job!

She does not look like my "Little Girl" with all that make-up on.

She LOVES the "dark" make-up requirement for show day.
Me....not so much.

3 Weeks Old

Baby girl is already 3 weeks old.  

I wish I could sit and stare at her all day.  

I have such a crush on her!

Here is what is going on

She is waking more in the night than last week...but still sleeping very well.  

She loves to suck.  

She wants her thumb SO BAD.  

To satisfy my Mom I have tried to encourage the pacifier instead....

But, I am not as passionate as mom....so the thumb may win over.

She is having more awake time.  

She does not like to take a bath.

Like her older siblings, she has two friends that she LOVES to stare at.  

(It cracks me up how much new babies love these type of pictures.)

As for me....

I'm tired.  

I'm hormonal.  

I have been crying daily.  

I want to shake myself and yell:  SERIOUSLY GET A GRIP....

but when I am in the midst of the moment I don't seem to be thinking straight.  

I'm not depressed...just pooped. (I promise!)

I obviously am not used to the sleep deprivation yet.  

I even cried to the sweet person that brought our meal a few days ago.  

She must have thought...WHAT A MESS....GOOD THING I AM FEEDING HER FAMILY.  

I'm still LOVING the meals being delivered.  Such a blessing!

We are still getting the sweetest gifts.  

The little clothes.....Oh, it's going to be so fun to dress her!

And the monogramed items....I just love her little initials.  

So many people are checking in with me and being so supportive.  

I really feel like we have an amazing family here in the South.  

Wow...next weeks update...she will be a MONTH OLD!
