Lilly is one month old.

It has been a pretty smooth first month. Lilly is a very mild mannered baby. She is so go with the flow just as Ellie was. She is eating well but does spit up quite a bit. When we were at the dr. last Tuesday the 29th of September she weighed 9.9lbs. The dr. was just hoping she would be back up to birth weight, he was thrilled. She is sleeping well during the night, only waking once to eat. She usually wakes somewhere between 3:30 and 5:30. We had a little mommy needs to better her photography skills photo shoot this morning at the house. I think I took a little over 200 pics but I have put the best ones one here, facebook and flickr.

Excitement is welling.

Kendall Payne's album is coming out soon and I am getting very excited. Here is a song from it that I liked.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOURSELF?
(Kendall Payne)
What are you doing to yourself?
What are you doing to yourself?
What would it take to make you tell?
What are you doing to yourself?

Are you bent on breaking down just to see if you still hurt?
Are you looking for yourself to know what you are worth?
But you don’t want to see the truth, you don’t even want to try,
‘Cause then you’d have to say goodbye.
But tell me truly are there any tears you’ve got left to cry?

What are you doing to yourself?
What are you doing to yourself?
You can’t be fine inside that hell.
What are you doing to yourself?

Now, everyone gets turned around at some point in their lives,
Some for better, some for worse, we only tell in time.
Are you running from a life you know you don’t deserve?
Or maybe you don’t have the nerve?
But tell me truly are there any lines that have not been blurred?

Love will you come home?
You know that home is where the heart is.
Home is where your heart is.
Love if you come home, I will show you just what love is,
I will show you where your home is,
It’s right here with me.

Now, don’t pretend you never knew that you could break my heart.
Don’t you make excuses for the way that things still are.
‘Cause if you really want to change you know what you gotta do,
And that would tear your world in two.
Now, tell me truly will I ever mean that much to you?

Happy National Talk Like a Pirate Day!

My Babies

These were all taking in the hospital. Can you tell who each picture is of?

LillaB is 1 week old.

My sweet LillaB is one week old today.

I can't believe it's only been a week. It feels like she has been with us so much longer.

Oh, Silas

I love my little boy!

Silas is leaving to go to Nanny and Pops for the week.

He said "Mommy where are mine shoes." and I replied "Can we cuddle a little before you leave." Silas "yes"

We cuddled and then he looked at me and "said okay you done now. I do love you"
and I said "I love you too"
Silas looked at me and said "I am going to pops and you don't worry about me."

He's growing up, sniff, sniff.

I love my little boy.

Ain't about how fast I get there

I'm not a fan but the words to this song are really good.

"I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll Never Reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb.

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking."
