Little Angel just said, "Momma you should have a baby-you love babies so much you should have one. I think you and Daddy should go to bed tonight and have a baby." Ummmm. Hopefully she does not grasp what that means...

"hey everybody"

holding the little man the first time
"Ahhhhh!"

poor guy had four of these blow outs-all in MY arms :)

he loved his bath-especially when his belly hurt :(
me and my cuz

These are the pictures I stole from my cousin's page. I had a wonderful time hanging out with Linzy and baby Stone. He was such a pleasant baby until he started getting gassy the last few days. I pretty much took him from Linzy every chance I got. The only I didn't-and couldn't-hold him was when he was breastfeeding. He was an absolute doll and I enjoyed every minute-even the hours he spent crying over his hurting belly.

I would go steal him from Linzy around 7-after his first feeding and go take him to her when he was ready to eat. She was trying to do Baby Wise and feed him every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. However, we did not abide by the "fall asleep on own" while I was there because I held him :)

I insisted on carrying him in and out of the car and stores. I even carried him in his sling every chance I got. I may be the only person who loves toting around the car seat.

Linzy and I grew up right down the street from each other so it is hard to be so far apart now (she is Washington and I am in the south) I am so excited about my sister moving so that our kids can grow up together and stay and my parent's house together. All four of the girl cousin stayed with my grandparents and loved it!

I some of my 250 pictures on here a few at a time....

This is at Little Angel's splash party on Saturday. They played in the sprinkler, water balloons, and water guns. Charlie tried to join in on the fun too :) (you can see him in the left corner) These girls are the daughters of Eddie's good friends from way back. They have been real nice to me and accepted me too. Their girls play with Little Angel when we lived closer.

We are no longer the "free baby sitters" anymore! Yesterday we got permanent custody of Little Angel. As Little Angel puts it, "The man went *bam bam* now you are gonna live with your Daddy from now on!" She seemed excited about spending Christmas with us and getting some professional family pictures since she was gone for all that last year. I genuinely think she is relieved that it for good now. I talked to her about how when I said that before we did not have custody but we thought TaTa wanted us to but then she changed her mind. However, having custody means that there is no changing it!

When I picked her up today I was a little later because it was really storming. When I walked in her teacher walked her to me (which she never does) and I saw that she was hysterically crying. Apparently she pinched a mean girl and has been crying ever since. I had the "motherly" talk in front of the teacher but had a more heart to heart later. I know that little girl she pinched was mean but I told her that is never the answer. lol. I know she knew it was wrong. She has just been really emotional lately and just had a slip. I think the way she was crying made the teacher think she was going to get beat or something. When the teacher asked what happens when she get in trouble Little Angel said, "I don't know...I don't get in trouble." She really doesn't!
