For the 3 comments! It gives me warm fuzzies to read little notes from old friends. To Sarah I, wow, I've "known" you since 1999, wow, how things have changed! Back then I was a (homeschooling) high school senior, spending way too many hours on the internet, making wacky friends! Jen, I saw you commented a while back too, how neat that you came to my wedding in 2000. And then the friends I met in the beginning of my parenting journeys ... the WS and various other parenting message boards. I remember back when I shared that I was in college to become a police officer, and the wise ladies "admonished" me right out of that idea! THANK YOU because if it wasn't for your wise counsel, I wouldn't have dug deeper into the Bible and found God's will for my life! And had I not realized God's will, I most likely would not have my two most recent blessings, Serena and Maria. Okay, I feel myself getting sappy so I'm going to quit reminiscing. I promised pictures of Maria’s first bath. Originally I was giving Alayna and Serena their bath, but then figured I’d put Maria in there too. Alayna was thrilled to have two little sisters in the tub with her! Maria before her bath (note the calm demeanor):
“Hey, what’s this? I’m back in the water again?”
And then ... this is what the rest of the bath looked like!
It was pretty funny, actually. Because I remember doing the same thing to Aaron over 6 years ago, and back then, as a brand new mother, I was terrified that I was hurting him in some way. But no, apparently all newborns hate their first bath? My kids never liked baths until they were a few months old. Here are a few pictures of the oldest with the youngest … Aaron REALLY looks grown up now that he’s holding a tiny baby. And he looks pretty mad when he’s not smiling … he gets that from me.
And then I told him to smile …
A little better! And then this morning I gave Maria to Aaron while I took a shower before the kids got out of bed … and she fell asleep with him!
More sleeping pictures:
She’s fast approaching her 4 week birthday … too fast! I want to savor every moment. I love waking up in the middle of the night when she’s still sleeping, snuggled next to me, and I stare at her sleeping face until I fall asleep again. Bliss. J More later! |
