« Previous EntriesHi Momma!
Tuesday, May 31st, 2005Yesterday Annie said “Momma” when she was talking to me. Of course, she has said Momma before but, it was more of a labeling thing. This is big for her. She is very choosy who she shares her language with. We know that she understands language and can speak it. She just does not choose [...]
Eye for Fashion
Monday, May 30th, 2005We’ve discovered a special talent of Kimberly’s: she can look at an article of clothing and tell whether it’s Mommy’s or Daddy’s. I don’t know how she does it but she’s quite accurate.
A Rose By Any Other Name
Sunday, May 29th, 2005Announcing Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K: whoa. I’ll take Apple any day of the week over that name. {via}
Before you know it they will be in college
Friday, May 27th, 2005Last night Bill, Madeline and I went to Bill’s sister’s graduation from high school. (Congratulations Sabrina!) As I was sitting there nursing Madeline, who is compleletely dependent on me, I was reflecting on Sabrina’s education. I have known her since she was in preschool. It seems practically like yesterday that she was starting school and [...]
Time Since
Wednesday, May 25th, 2005The sense of age is one of the features that didn’t survive the transition from PregoBlog to FiveBrowns. If you remember, each entry had The Girls’ ages at the time of the entry and the front page of the blog had their current ages displayed. Sandi’s wanted me to whip that up, but I never [...]
Swimming in the backyard
Wednesday, May 25th, 2005Since it has been so hot out here the Girls have been playing in water in the backyard in the afternoons. They love to use the hose and put water in their kiddie pool. Annie knows how to spray water with her finger over the hose. She thinks it is hilarious. The water mainly hits [...]
Good to see you Mom but . . .
Wednesday, May 25th, 2005Yesterday after the appointment I went to pick the two older girls up from my Mother’s. When I got there both girls ran towards me. Annie, however, ran right past me and over to see Madeline. When she got over there, she started screeching in happiness and hugging the infant seat. I guess we know [...]
One Month Visit
Tuesday, May 24th, 2005We took Madeline to the doctor for her one-month checkup. (The doctor was sick last week when her appointment was supposed to be, but we’re still pretending like this is the one-month visit.) She got the hepatitis-B shot that she was supposed to get at the hospital; she did not like it. She behaved very [...]
Reflection on Breastfeeding
Monday, May 23rd, 2005When I had Annie I had anticipated that I would be able to breastfeed her and her sister Kimberly. Things did not work out that way. Annie could not latch, heck, she couldn’t even latch onto a bottle. Everything I had read or heard said that it was this wonderful natural thing to do. Well, [...]
Hot, hot, hot!
Friday, May 20th, 2005The Girls have certainly mastered the word “hot.” Whenever they touch something that is hot, they say “hot” and then blow on it. It is very cute but it throws people for a loop. Most kids say “hot” when something is too hot. Ours use it more to describe the item. Very cute but it [...]
A pacifier, a blanket and a question.
Thursday, May 19th, 2005I have been reading an article in a parenting magazine that suggests taking away a child’s pacifier by age 2. Since Kimberly is already 19 months, I have been thinking about this situation. Kimberly is very very attached to her “nuk nuk” as she affectionately calls it. I would not be opposed to breaking her [...]
What a difference 19 months makes
Tuesday, May 17th, 2005Children count 19 months ago – 0 Children count now – 3 It is amazing to me how much we have changed since the birth of our first child. And we did it all in record time! Happy 19 month birthday, Kimberly Rose. I would not have missed these days with you for the world!
LOVE!
Monday, May 16th, 2005I am just so in love with my three babies. I love that they are so close. I love that they are mine! I love that I have been trusted to guide them through life. I was sitting here holding Madeline and started crying over how happy I am to be their mother. Madeline is [...]
Poor babies!
Monday, May 16th, 2005Annie and Kimberly are teething their eye teeth right now. The poor things. They look like little daggers puncturing their gums. Hopefully they will all be in soon so that Bill and I do not go crazy from the whining!!!
Big News for a Big Girl!
Monday, May 16th, 2005Madeline is wearing 0-3 month pants today!! She was not able to wear the 0-3 month onesies so she still has the preemie one on but, this is big news! This means her tummy is getting bigger. I can hardly wait for her to be a chunky monkey!
Corny Shots
Thursday, May 12th, 2005We love corn on the cob!
Getting Pic-y
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005I’ve added 44 more pictures to the gallery. I’ve also reorganized the pictures a bit better so that the taxonomy is what we in the industry call scalable. Eventually there could be thousands of photos and I don’t want you to have to wade through oodles of pictures to see what you want to see. [...]
Jump My Loves
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005So Kimberly’s jumping? She wouldn’t do it for me, unfortunately. I know that Kimberly has been wanting to do it for as long as she’s been watching me jump the baby gate at the foot of the stairs or jumping over toys. I can’t wait to see it because jumping toddlers are about the cutest [...]
Jump!
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005Today Kimberly jumped for the first time! It startled her the first time she did it. She has been practicing and trying for so long. I am very happy for her! She is very excited!
3 weeks old
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005Maddie is 3 weeks old today! It does not seem like that long that I was sitting here wondering when she was going to be born. Time sure has flown by! She is still such a good baby and a blessing to our family. Annie is very interested in her. She looks at her from [...]
