9 months!

July 28, 2009

Our Oso

My baby boy is 9 months old today. These last months have gone by so quickly. I think it's worse when I think that he might possibly be our last. That just makes me want to go back and live the last nine months all over again, sleepless nights and all...He is such a precious little man. He has just learned to sign "please" and he blows raspberries ALL the time (I think he gets that from his sisters). He has a ticklish spot, his belly. He loves sweet potatoes and puppy kisses(much to the disgust of his daddy). He loves to ride in the swing in the front yard; well, any swing for that matter. He hasn't said anything yet, but you can tell he's thinking it; he's got the greatest expressions. He wants to talk, just hasn't gotten it out yet. He gives me the biggest smile when I walk into the room that makes my heart swell. Everyone said that there was something about a mama's relationship with her boy, but I thought "No, not me, I'm not raising a Mama's Boy." And I'm not, He's Mami's little Man.

Princess Photos

Leyni's Beautiful Smile

Some more of Our Princess's photos. The weather has been so nice we have been going outside a lot more often (before the invasion of the mosquitos). It really kills me to go to work on those perfect spring days. The more I spend outside, the more I feel inclined to do yardwork(normally an area that Oliver has commandeered). I've actually gotten a few things planted, we'll see if they grow! Tía and Our Oso swinging in the yard. He LOVES the swing. (please ignore the fact that the cushion is on backwards and is covered in pollen...I said I started, but have not accomplished very much :op)

Puss....In Birdbath

Merlin, our newest little man...9 weeks old now

Spring Pictures

Just a couple of pictures our good friend Miss Grace took for us. She always does such great pictures of the kids and I know having a professional camera helps, but she really does have talent at grabbing that perfect shot! We decided to go to Gahagan park because it's a favorite of the girls and really is a lot of fun to try to get pictures. It really is a blessing to have Grace as a friend and an even bigger blessing that she is willing (and even calls me because she wants) to take pictures!

Easter Sunday 2010

Easter Sunday is always very busy...we go to church (of course). This Sunday we had a guest preacher, a brazilian missionary to Cuba, Gleysi Raoul. It was the first time I had been in a church service since probably before Christmas. I've lost count. It was such an inspiring service. Of course we didn't leave church until almost 1, had to run home to let the puppy out and get our food, then head to Maga's house. We always have a great Easter dinner and then a HUGE easter egg hunt. The girls made out like bandits!
