Cute Pictures

This is one of my favorite pictures...

my little monkey!

Gotta love that smile!

No bottles, please.

Okay, we are trying to get Lilly to take a bottle and it's just not working. I guess we waited too long cause she gets really, really mad every time we try to stick the bottle in her mouth. You would think I would know better because I had the same problem with Annabel, but she has been doing so well that we just never tried until just recently. And now, believe it or not, I want to be able to leave her with someone for more than two hours. I love breastfeeding and I would never trade it for straight bottle feeding (right now anyway), but I need to find a happy medium. Wesley is a perfect example...one bottle a day. I think Lilly may be a little hard-headed because she is not giving in, not even a little bit. But, we will keep trying because I am in need of a date night and a girls night!!

My First Blog...The Introductions

So, I decided to start a blog to keep up with all the wonderful things going on in our lives right now. Dustin and I have been married almost two years and we are already a family of 6...hey, it is the year 2009. Annabel just had her fourth birthday party yesterday and she is quite the little girly girl. Her gifts included barbies, barbies, barbies, jewelry, lipgloss and various other girly things. Oh yeah, and her first bicycle which is pink and barbie. Wesley just turned two years old about a month ago and he fits the definition of a two-year-old BOY. I used to worry about every little fall, bump or bruise, that is until Wesley came along. Add the "terrible twos" to an already overly rambunctious boy and you have a handful...that is Wesley, but he is just so darn cute, you can't help but love him to pieces. Lillian is not quite 3 months old and is smiling, cooing, trying to grab toys and her feet...I think she is a genious. She won't take the pacifier, but I think she may be a thumb sucker. Nicholas is the oldest of the kiddos and we don't get to see him as often, but I couldn't ask for a more loving and gentle big brother for all my babies. People say kids say the funniest things. I never will forget when Nicholas called the lily pads lillian pads...that is one of my favorites. Well, that is my short introduction to our family. More to come soon!
