Guess who???

You guessed 'em and you're right!

I should have made it more difficult and put everyone in their diapers, but sadly, they're not all babies anymore.

BABY #1

Natalie is now 6 1/2 months old. She is on the move, it's not what you call crawling, but she certainly is getting around. At her 6 month check up she was 15 pounds 10 ounces (38%) and 25 1/8 inches long (16%definitively the runt). Her hair is coming in red, which is something new too. She is so fun and those cheeks have continual kisses.

BABY #2

This is me. Christmas time I was around 4 months.

BABY #3

Dallas's big brown eyes give him away. Only brown eyes around here. He is around 6 months in this picture and about 20 pounds. He weighed more at two months ( 16lbs 11oz) than Natalie does at 6 months. Line-backer.

He started Kindergarten yesterday. I was wondering who would have more anxiety over it. It was me. I'm happy to say it was a successful day and he was excited to go again today.

BABY #4

This is Mike and now we know where Dallas comes from.

BABY #5

Isn't she cute. Katie-lady. She was around 4 months here. Her hair didn't come in really until she was two, but at 4 years old and two of her own haircuts it is down the middle of her back.

BABY #6

There is my happy man, Jake. He started 3rd grade yesterday. I remember kissing those cheeks several times every day and I miss them like crazy.

Time goes by so quickly, even through some days are slow (getting through them I mean, our schedule is becoming more of a whirlwind).

I find myself wishing for time to go by slower. With Jake I was so excited for him to get to the next phase, rolling over, crawling, walking, I remember wondering what he was going to look like as a 'little man'. With Natalie I want to keep her a baby, but she just keeps growing. Sometimes I look at my children and get kind of sad to think they will not always be under my wing.

Parenting motto: planting strong roots to withstand all winds and large wings for them to soar. (as hard as it may be...High school is going to be a killer for me isn't it?!?)
