Breakfast Conversations......

Laila: Nathan, come get your opi-done! (like cone, not dun)
Nathan: Laila, it's not opi-done, it's oat-meeeeeaaalllllll.
Laila: (matter of factly) No, Nathan, it doesn't have a 'T' in it. Opi- doooooone. It just has an 'n'.

I love that she still calls it opi-done!

Speaking of babies.......

I had one!
May 29, 2010 at 1:33 pm
He was 21" long and weighed in at 9 lbs. 9 oz.

Meet Everett Luke....

He has been busy.....meeting his family...

spending lots of time with mama....

and Grandmas.....
(thank goodness for Grandmas and living nearby them!)

being forced to wear ridiculous (-ly cute!) outfits for pictures...

figuring out who he looks like....see the resemblance?

getting ready to come home...

coming home!
We should have taken a picture of getting the car seat in the car....we looked like first time parents, a passerby even offered to find some hospital staff to come and help us! haha! The problem was more that we are third time parents....we didn't have the car seat installed in the car before we came to the hospital. We just ripped the tags off in the hospital room and stuck him in it right before we left the hospital.

meeting the competition.....

and some more family....

looking stinkin' adorable....

participating in story time for the first time...

discovering that he and daddy have a matchy-matchy outfit!

having meaningful conversation with Grandma...

enjoying being held and loved by all his aunts and family...

looking stinkin' adorable...again....it's not hard for him...it's in his genes!

being loved by his sister who shared her most prized possessions with him...

catching a few zzzz's with mama....
Looks like I got a little reminder of what having a newborn does to you!
( black eye or just dark circles? Hit by a truck, perhaps? You be the judge!)

but, look at that sweet face......

I mean it, look at it!
How cute is he?!?!

So far, so good!
He is the least spitty out of my kids- he has had the most hair, I think- no allergies to report- and thank the heavens above, the most mild mannered.....
I have my hands full with the other ones, so let's hope this little guy stays tame! Fingers crossed!

Ah, well, doody calls! Until next time!

Cherry Babies......again!

About a month ago these babies decided to get together to celebrate another year of cuteness!

and they don't look like babies anymore......gone are the matching cherry dresses, gone is the awkward mullet stage of toddler hair, gone are the chubby little cheeks and thunder thighs....well, mostly anyway...(wink!)

In it's place is.....

sugar and spice...

and everything nice....

and princesses and pigtails, (and sometimes fierce independence!).....cause that's what these little girls are made of.
