Blessing Day!

Our little family. Sad to say this is the first family picture we have taken.

Molly is quite sassy these days. I think this picture captures her sassyness well.

Grandma and Grandpa Walton's Visit

Molly looks like a little old lady in this picture. She loves her purse lately. For a while, whenever we went somewhere, she had to get her purse, keys (old Tercel key), and cell phone.

Molly at the Park

Just a few pictures of Molly at the park on Friday with Grandma and Grandpa Walton.

Time on My Hands?

Well, you'd think I'd be able to do better than once a month postings with a sleeping baby. But be it known to all, Molly and Foster have something against me. They don't like to nap at the same time. So, between feedings, holdings, playing with my poor neglected 2 year old, and picking up the house every once in a while, I have let our blog go. We take the pictures, we just don't post them like we should. So, we'll give it a try. They are both asleep for now. But I hear some stirrings from the Fos man. I'll hurry.

Life is good. We are enjoying being parents of 2 wonderful children. Molly has been amazing at the adjusting to a new baby brother......until today. Not sure what the problem was but she was down right defiant and onery. I didn't know what to do. So, we have toys up above our computer and the snake is in the closet because she lost privleges of playing with them. Too bad it doesn't really work because she was trying to put other toys into the closet to punish herself.

I'm a horrible mom, I lost it and gave her diaper padded toosh a swat today. Later when she was acting up again, I asked her if she wanted a spankin and she said, "yes". What? this is the child that puts herself in timeout when she knows she's out of line. Guess I should'nt be surprised at her response of wanting a spankin. Does anyone know how to handle defiant children? I'm told Scott might have a had a little of that in him at about the same age. So, we are living and learning.

At the same time, you can't help but absolutely love the girl. She is always making me laugh at the things she says. She loves the mole on my jaw and I try to get her to call it a beauty mark, but she refuses and calls it a mole. So, when doing her princesses names she points to Sleeping Beauty and calls her "Beauty Mark". I laughed pretty hard so now, of course, she says it every time.

Sorry for all the WORDS, but that's what you get.

On to Foster.......he's growing like a weed. Loves to snack ALL THE TIME! He gained a whole pound at his two week appointment. The doctor was shocked and said we might want to try a bottle to give me a break. He's as cute as he can be. We ALL love him to pieces. He sleeps a lot, eats a lot, messes his diaper A LOT, and still has his nights and days backwards. But, hopefully soon, we will all get it figured out. Here's some recent shots of the little man.

Lovin' on "baby brother"

Our "little" girl doesn't look so little anymore.

Due Date

It's hard to believe today is the actualy due date of Foster. We can't remember what it's like to not have him around. I can't imagine the last 12 days without him. He's so sweet and precious. We are absolutely enamored by this little man. What a blessing he is in our lives. It's crazy to think life existed without Foster. He doesn't have any tricks yet, he just likes to eat, sleep and mess his diapers. We've got to get Molly potty trained soon or I'm going to have to go back to work just to afford the diapers of 2. Molly continues to adore her "baby brother", constantly giving him "big hugs" and "little kisses". Thank goodness she's somewhat gentle.

Some Things Go.....

....by the wayside. Some things we used to not let Molly do, are o.kay these days. Whatever keeps her from tackling her little brother. This was totally allowed one day while I was getting ready. I was trying to teach her proper application of the makeup, but she insisted on mixing things and putting whatever wherever. What are ya gonna do?

I feel pretty....oh so pretty...!
