Best Shots: Oct. 8th

One day this week Em decided that she didn't want to nap when the big kids did. So while she sat in my lap talking to me, I pulled the camera out. The little stinker thought the lens cover made a great toy and just had to hold it if I had the camera near her.

My favorite picture of the week is not a great picture if you go by photography rules. To be able to get decent lighting, I had to really up the ISO which made the picture quite grainy. The story behind the picture is why I love it. Here's it's story, Wednesday morning I had gotten up after nursing Em back to sleep and was in and out of the room as I got ready for the day. Sometime during this Sean had gotten up and quietly gone into the room. I walked in to find him kissing his baby sister. I of course quickly went and got the camera. He was still kissing her when I got back so I snapped the picture below. He then just sat there watching her so I told him to just be quiet so not to wake her and I stepped out of the room again. As I walked out, he started kissing her again. Shortly later I hear her wake up. As I walked in, Sean told me, "I guess I kissed her too much".

Week in Review: Week 10

Even though it seemed like we had a busy week this week, I really don't have much to report. It felt like a busy week mostly because it was a week of adjustments as one of my daycare kids went full time. To make up for the lack of updates, I have more pictures to share than normal. 

Over supply/over active letdown = an occasional milk bath

  Sean's solution to "boys can't nurse" is a sling and a bottle in the pocket

Smiles!!

Sibling love! They just had to join sissy.

Week in Review: Week 6

I was beginning to think I wouldn't have much to write about this week then Maddy decided she wanted to be a big girl. First, let me go off on a little side note. A few months ago hubby was working his first night at his second job. It meant I had to get both kids to bed by myself. At that point Sean was in his own room and Maddy was still in our room on the little bed. Both had to have hubby or I in the room while they fell asleep. I can't be in two rooms at the same time so I asked if they wanted to have a sleep over in Sean's room. They agreed and both went to bed very easily. That's been the sleeping arrangement since then. At the beginning of this week they started fighting each other in bed and Maddy said she wanted to sleep in her room like a big girl - her words. And with that, they are sleeping in separate rooms.

The idea of being a big girl must have got the ball rolling because Wednesday afternoon Maddy informed me that she was a big girl and she wanted princess underwear. I had been thinking of starting potty training but I didn't want to start too close to introducing Emily to the family. Maddy had other plans. After nap I gave her some underwear and told her that she needed to keep them dry and go potty in the potty. She had a few accidents that night but the next couple of days went great. She woke up in the mornings dry, woke up from nap dry and only had a few accidents each day...each day getting a little better.

Week in Review: Week 4

Our week this past week was not all that exciting so there's really not much to report. The kids have taken a liking to looking at the stars before bed so that's turning into part of our bedtime routine.

I captured a brother/sister moment earlier in the week.

Then about midweek, Maddy decided to take up fashion design 

and came up with this outfit:

Week in Review: Week 3

This week was pretty uneventful for the most part. It was another half week for daycare but this week I had no help. It went very well. My daycare kids were angels but my own older kids misbehaved. Then came Thursday. Thursday evening I had to make an emergency dentist appointment.

Now for the pictures:

Sisters:
 

Isn't this just the sweetest!? Maddy absolutely loves her new baby sister. She loves giving hugs and kisses and loves talking to Emily. I love that she loves her but I have to put limits on all the touching because she just can't keep her hands off of her.

And just for the fun of it, baby fingers and toes:
