-Baby spraying herself in the face with a loaded nipple because she decides to let go, turn her face and cram her hand down on it.. way to go kid! -Continually calling each kid by the wrong name. -Trying to decide what color the baby’s hair is. -The older kids going ‘AWWWWW’ ALL.THE.TIME. -The toddler … [Read more…]
I guess she’s not a baby anymore! Happy Birthday Casey!
I’ll be honest, the last nearly 2 weeks of posts are back-dates. I was just too busy and the baby too ready to eat to get to the computer in time to blog every day, but I did end up with a post for every day, and they ARE real posts! It just took me … [Read more…]

Today we had our 1 week check with the doctor, he was I think a bit surprised she wasn’t back up to her birth weight and suggested we wake her to feed her every 3 hours during the day, but no jaundice, no other issues, etc. I went in while Matthew kept the other 3 … [Read more…]
