Some Photos

Our young chunk is continuing to grow. He is starting smile more, sleeps through the night, chews his fist with vigor and is definitely the most docile of all our kiddos. He has such a good nature - I feel blessed.

A list of his nicknames are:
CJ
Mr. Grumpy Pants (when he's grumpy)
Mr. Stinky Pants (when he's stinky... you get the idea)
Sir Topham Hat
Mister

Some photos for your viewing pleasure.


Bub asked me to take this picture of them snuggling, but then wouldn't open his eyes!

Mom, why am I in a pink chair?

Well, it's a little embarrassing, but I guess I'll hang out here for a while.

Okay, I'm getting the hang of this and kinda liking it.

Hats and Hair

It sometimes amazes me to watch my children grow up and see them develop their character, their sense of style, their likes and dislikes. I can definitely see some of myself and Stephen in them, but they also have things that are so distinctly their own. Tory has a love for hats and she really does look good in them. She is also good at picking them out and knows what will look good on her. The picture above is her most recent acquisition.

Speaking of style, we all got haircuts recently. I am not so fond of mine - they never, ever get it right, even when I show a photograph of what I want. So frustrating. Anyway, Shelly got a trim, as she is growing her beautiful hair long (picture coming soon). Tory went for a new look and I think her haircut turned out looking quite nice.

Sir Topham Hat

Our young chunk now weighs around 7 kilos and has many rolls. He is more placid than our other babies, and actually sleeps most of the night! Hurray! He is also extremely serious, and hardly ever smiles, just studiously studies the world around him and he lifts one eyebrow and smirks sometimes, which is kind of funny! We have nicknamed him "Sir Topham Hat".

Overheard...

in the kitchen this morning, Ethan's alligator and hand talking to each-other.

Alligator: Be careful with me, I'm a very delicate alligator!
Hand: Oh, Okay.

A minute later...

Hand: Help, help (halfway down said alligator's throat.)

A very DELICATE alligator? Please!
