Fun in the Sun

We had such a blast at Luke's
pirate themed birthday party. Splish splashing around in the pool at the LeBaron's new house, Katie didn't want to leave. She said when it was time to go "I don't want to go unless you let me stay for 5 minutes and have a sleepover with Isabella." Hmmm. Where does she get this deal making from, I wonder? I couldn't help but smile. (and, for the record, she did end up leaving, and later I did get suckered in to the sleepover with Isabella).

Four Months Old with Two Teeth

Yes, it's true, my four month old has two teeth! He is developing and growing up so well, and I can't believe how proud I am of him. I love him more and more every day. I love his chomp on my finger to ease his discomfort from teething. I love the drool dripping all over my clothes as I carry him. But most of all, I love his big grin that spreads throughout his whole body when I congratulate him on doing such a great job growing up. Love you, Bubba Bear!

Sisterly Love Letter

There's something about sibling love, especially of course, with my own children, that touches me so deeply. When I found a note in Katie's room titled "Katie's Songs" with the following lyrics, I couldn't help but tear up with proud Mommy tears:


Baby Aiden is so handsome.
I love him and I will forever.
I will never forget him.
He is so nice to me.
He is so nice to me.
He is so nice to me.
And some day he will give me kisses, and kisses, and kisses.
And he loves me. He loves me. He loves me.
And he loves you Mama.
And he loves himself.
Yeah, himself.
He loves us, yeah us.

Crazy Mommy Songs

I don't know if this happens to all moms, but I find myself singing the craziest songs! Today I was singing "Good job on your big poop, Bubba Bear. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Good thing we have lots of wipes, Bubba Bear. Ooh, ooh, ooh." Is this normal? :)
