Hello, Again!

Nice to see you again! I decided it was time to show everyone just how adorable Gavin is:) His sisters aren't too bad either! I hope you enjoy the videos.


I decided to share this video because I just thought it was so precious.  Gavin is just a few minutes old in this video.  He was still on my chest in the birthing tub when the girls saw him for the first time.  Here is their first chance to get up close.  

I didn't even know Josh had recorded this until I was looking through videos yesterday. The girls are getting so big!
These last two videos are of Gavin. It's the usual 4 month old cooing and babbling but it sure does melt my heart! He is a sweet, happy, friendly baby.

Lillian's New Bed

Lillian is sleeping in a big girl bed now (well for a few weeks now)!  Even though baby brother won't be using the crib for some time I felt like I needed to do something in preparation for the little guys arrival so we moved the crib to his room and I bought a boy sheet for it.  I know, so very exciting.  Since Lillian was still a few months shy of 2 when we made the switch I wasn't quite ready to put her in a big bed.  We found this toddler bed on Craigslist for $45 and I figure we can use it multiple times.  She really likes it and transitioned to it with no problems.  Well maybe once small incident...after sleeping in it with no problems for about 2 weeks she fell out one night.  So now I keep a rolled baby blanket under the fitted sheet along the edge and that seems to do the trick.  It's actually the same we do for Josephine now in her big girl bed.  Works like a charm!!

Lillian is...



21 and 1/2 months old.  I meant to do this post right after I did Josephine's but life got busy so here we are!  Let me start by saying Lillian has the sweetest personality.  But not only does she look like her Daddy she is STUBBORN like her Daddy!!  You might never guess that from those big blue eyes, sweet little voice, and tender hugs.  I'm truly amazed how she can be so stubborn and yet so tenderhearted at the same time.  She is so independent and confident yet at the same time can be very dependent on me.  I guess the difficult part is that it is always on her terms.  That reminds me of someone else I know...lol.  When she doesn't want my attention I better steer clear and when she does want it nothing else will do!  She is going to be a woman who knows (and probably gets) what she wants.  But for now she is my sweet Lily Pie. 

Every little girl looks up to her big sister and Lillian is no different!  Josephine and Lillian have a lot of fun together.  The girls are finally at an age where they can play together without needing constant supervision.  They love to chase each other, color together, and make up all kinds of silly games.  Lillian also likes to do puzzles--like the chunky animal puzzles or other non-interlocking puzzles.  She loves to sing songs with coordinating hand movements.  Some of her current favorites are Itsy Bitsy Spider and Mr. Golden Sun.  She loves jumping in our bouncy house.  And Lillian loves watching TV (also like her Daddy!).  She loves Barney and has also been enjoying Super Why lately.  But with her new found playmate TV time is getting shorter and shorter.

Lillian has been getting more and more verbal which is wonderful.  I've lost count of the one syllable words she is using.  She is saying lots of two syllable words like popcorn, Daddy, hello, cracker, thank you.  She will try to repeat most words if asked.  Of course there are a lot of words that still seem to be lost in translation but we'll take what we can get!

I think she gets the cute tooshy from Daddy too;)
