Mother Dear

Below are some pictures of Big Sister being the little mom that she is. She helps bathe Baby2 , Calls mommy's sling the "kangaroo pouch" and on her own attepted to get her "binky dolly" into it. I tightened it for her, but the idea was her own. She also has been charged by the diaper for how many diapers we've found around the house after failed attempts to diaper her dolls. Well the last picture was what we thought was a very sucessful diapering! In fact, we may have her doing her sister's diapers pretty soon! :) She's definetly the little mom around here.

Mommy tries her hand at blogging

Milk, it REALLY does a body good!First official bath

Baby2 lost her umbilical cord the natural way (in contrast to her sister who kicked her's off on day 4) so at 3 weeks old the last of the cord was gone and she got to finally have a real bath, good buy sponge baths!!

Baby2 is one month old! Time flys so fast. She's bigger and stronger every day and big sister loves her to pieces.

Thanks Auntie!

It was an incredible task to find crib bedding that coordinated with big sister's bed, and thanks to their wonderful aunt the perfect bedding was found. Their room is full of pinks and greens now and the crib finally feels complete.

Now and Then, part 3

When our first was born is was just a couple days before father's day. As we approached June of 2005 my wife would ask me what I wanted for father's day. I insisted that all I wanted was to be a father for father's day. The due date was 11 days before father's day so it seemed like a sure thing, but the baby was a week late and just barely came before father's day.

Here is me with sleeping baby #1.
This time around the baby arrived three weeks before mother's day. We hadn't figured this baby quite so closely with mother's day because the due day was in a different month and my wife was not waiting until May to have this baby.

The proud mother and sleeping baby #2.

We wanted to get mom and both girls in the mother's day shot, but one wouldn't cooperate.In the end we got two of three in two different shots, maybe we should photoshop them all together.
