Six Wonderous Months

During her first week

Has 6 months really flown by since we welcomed our second baby girl into this world? I still look at her every day and can't believe she's mine...that I have been blessed with two children...that I'm a mom. (You'd think that last one would have sunk in by now.)

Whitney Noelle has a twinkle in her eye that I don't see in other eyes. It lights up my day and eludes the camera. Some qualities just weren't meant to be photographed. I'm still going to let Kelly and Kristen try though.

Whitney smiles so big that all you can see is gums and cheeks. Her cheeks stick out farther than her face. All 6 dimples appear. She giggles at the drop of a dime. She belly laughs when you tickle her feet, her back, her knees or blow raspberries on her tummy.

Whitney lights up when her big sister comes near. The girls get along so incredibly well. I can only hope it stays that way forever.

Whitney can roll around when she chooses to. She is pushing up on her knees and rocking, scooting backwards and around in a circle. It wont be long before she is cruising forwards.

We love you so much baby girl and are so glad you are a part of our lives.

Don't Punish Me...

...I'm still here. Blogging unfortunately has not been at the top of my priority list. I've been doing most of my computing from the comfy confines of my nursing perch and on my iphone. I can't even promise that I'll catch up on the last three months worth of fun. But here are a couple of fun sneak peaks at what went on:

Do you think they're related?

Can you guess which girl is which? I swear they could be twins.

Hailey Likes Sesame Street...Really Much

The video is grainy since I didn't have any lights on and it was taken with my point-and-shoot camera. But you'll get the idea of the conversation Hailey and I have every single morning and after ever nap and after dinner, and so on and so on.
