My latest "baby fat" photo

I took this in the morning light with no flash. (I find that flash usually destroys pictures!)

Got to love the FAT!

Nick is the cutest baby boy! I love his fat! He is 18 pounds now!

When can I walk again?!

June 3, 2009
I waited my whole pregnancy to repair my knee and I've been on crutches for too long. Call me a whiner if you want, but this is ridiculous!

I can't walk for six weeks! My doctor says it will be a toss-up as to who runs first: Me or Nick...

Patrick's Birthday

Patrick had a birthday June 1st and he got a shirt and a baseball. The ball was signed by all his kids. He loved them!

Glasses?!?

April 30, 2009
My little guy needs glasses and he's not even two months old!

He's farsighted and that's why he doesn't look at anyone's face. He looks at the TV and out the window most of the time.

We knew to look because Spencer has the same problem. In his case, we didn't catch it until his eyes crossed when he was 2 and 1/2 years old. Poor baby saw everything blurry for his first years! He has since had eye surgery. We're hoping to avoid surgery in Nicholas' case.

My Singing Baby Boy

Nicholas loves it when his daddy sings to him. He makes long noises like he is singing along!

His favorite is "Goodnight Sweetheart."

After singing it a few times, Nicholas goes right to sleep!

Visiting the Twins

April 7, 2009
When Nicholas was 3 and 1/2 weeks old we hopped on a plane for his first airline flight. (It was my first airline flight, too!) We were off to see Katie and Matt and their new twins, Jackson and Kennedy. I wasn't able to be at their delivery in January because I was too high-risk to travel.


John and Beau came up with their kids. It was great to put all the babies together.
