Smiles and grandparents

Here is my lame attempt to capture Stephen's smiles while we chat


And his "talking" where is says "aaaahoooooh"


And he has grandparents in town to chat with now too...he was really "talking" and smiling for them!

Moby Wrap Revival

I broke out the Moby wrap I made when Gloria was a baby the other day since Stephen naps longest on me or in the carseat...and we just can't drive around in the car every day! Mariana insisted that she have one for her baby, so here she is! (It was tricky finding fabric since I packed my sewing stuff already, but we managed).

On the homefront

Sweet sleeping boy




What a guy has to put up with when he has 3 big sisters

"Baby" steps

Gloria is back to teetee-ing on the potty now, somewhat reluctantly. Whew, at least we are making progress here!

Bits of joy

Boxes! What kid doesn't enjoy boxes?! And we have lots of them turning up lately because we are getting ready to move (to a bigger house nearby...not across the country or anything)


Tia Becky finally gets to hold Stephen...she had been sick the last few weekends!


He loves his sisters...especially being held by this one, which means Mommy is running around trying to get some things done while she holds him!


A little relaxation

Happy Baptism Day, Gloria!

We are doing some little things around here to celebrate her salvation today. :-) Definitely worth celebrating! And a nice distraction amid the potty woes.

Baby smiles!

Stephen is smiling today...a lot! Yay! It is so sweet. I promise it is not gas...I can tell! Sorry, no photos. I am not that talented. He cries when I put him down...only smiling in Mommy's arms!

Oh, and thank you Lowe's for un-potty training my 2 year old! We were out on errands Saturday, and the auto-flushers did not detect Gloria sitting there and flushed very loudly 4 times while she was trying to go. Now she is scared to death of potties, even the non-flushable plastic toddler potty. Thank you, Lowes. Sigh....
