Giggles and Coos

Maddie is 7 weeks now. Its so hard to believe how time is flying already! She still has her days and nights mixed up, but I'm hoping that by the time Stacey and Brandon go back to school, (Monday!) she will be be on a better schedule.

Maddie has been smiling up at Nick and I for a couple of weeks now. It is just the sweetest thing in the world. She just looks up at me and gets this great big grin on her face, like she is saying "Mommy I love you so much, and I'm SO happy to see you!" That certainly makes things easier when she is wide awake at 3am!

She is getting so big too! She is wearing 3-6 months already!

Last night she started to coo, she is really working on finding her voice.

I'll be posting more pictures soon, just have to finish getting my new computer set up!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

To all the Mom's in the world, this says it all!

Santa Babies

When getting out the Christmas decorations today the kids found one of our Santa hats.

What's my name again?

I'm sure you have noticed I'm still MIA. Maddie seems to sleep the longest in the afternoon, AFTER I have picked Stacey and Brandon up from school. She is awake long enough in the morning that if I were to try to go to sleep I wouldn't wake up in time to pick the other 2 up. She is waking up every 2-3 hours through the night as well.

So, needless to say I'm not getting much sleep! That does make it a bit interesting around here, I have been doing things like finding the car keys in the fridge.

But I guess I can sleep in another 4 years or so once she is in school! LOL

This little face makes it so worthwhile!


How I feel:

Who Is That and What Have You Done With My Son???

Well after 3 years Brandon has finally had his first haircut.

This is a before picture:


And from behind:


He did wonderfully, sitting still while she cut his hair. He did squirm a little, the clippers kind of scared him.

When she was done he looked like a totally different child.





And just because he is so darn cute!!!

A Comparison

I knew that I had this picture of Brandon:



But then I was going thru the pics of Maddie that were taken the day she was born.



Its simply amazing how much they look alike!
