I'm crazy about this little girl... CRAZY about her. I'm pretty crazy about my little boy too.
It's about impossible to get a photo of them together where I can see both faces.
Haley loves playing with june bugs after dark.
Daddy is currently her favorite.
She likes to pretend she's flying.
Teething = drool. And more drool and more drool.
Haley likes coloring on the window (this is what happens when I leave the play room for a minute).
I love love love my babies' eyes!
The cat's eyes are pretty too.
Blake makes silly faces.
And sleepy faces.
Frogs can be cute.
But not as cute as our little girl sitting in a box or wearing Daddy's shoes. :-)
And lastly... I'm not worried about getting older if I get to do it with the ones I love. Happy 82nd birthday, Pop!

boobs

I'm a very private person - anyone who knows me knows that. There are things that I just don't talk about. But this seems to be the month to talk about boobs, so here it is...
I know some amazing women who have battled breast cancer. It seems like more and more people are aware of national breast cancer awareness month (possibly thanks to the "what color is your bra" or "where do you put your purse" games on facebook... or not...). I've read numerous articles about how breastfeeding (especially extended breastfeeding) reduces the risk of breast cancer - for you AND your baby! Don't just take my word for it... linky.
For this reason (and many others!), I'm so thankful I was able to breastfeed both my babies. Haley breastfed exclusively (no formula, solids, etc) for her first 6 months, and Blake will too (he'll be 6 months in a couple weeks). I had to pump for Haley - she refused to nurse during the day when she was 3 1/2 months old. I think that had a lot to do with her speech issues, but that's a different story for a different day. I pumped for her till her first birthday, and she continued nursing at night until she was 2. Since I don't have to pump for Blake (and hopefully won't have to!), he'll nurse as long as he wants - within reason of course. It feels good to know that I'm doing what's best for them. There's a (deserved) pride that goes with knowing that your child is not only living on just your milk - but he's THRIVING on it. It really is a great feeling!
In a couple weeks Blake will be 6 months old... Where did the time go?! Wasn't he JUST born? We'll start feeding him "solid" food when he hits 6 months. Just like we did for Haley, we'll be making his food. Just doesn't seem logical to buy baby food in jars when it's cheaper, healthier, and not too difficult to make. We already have his peaches and sweet potatoes ready. We (well Seth) steamed and pureed them, froze them in trays, and stored them in gallon freezer bags. We have his carrots and peas ready to do, probably this weekend. He'll probably have the sweet potatoes first... we won't shock his taste buds with peaches yet! :-)
I got my hair cut... it's short with blunt bangs. I hate having my hair in a pony tail, but that's how it always ended up. I like it like this. :)

If I didn't look like a dude, I'd rock the pixie cut! Maybe one day, if I'm brave enough.
Enough yacking... some recent photos...

help help!
Fri, Oct 1 2010 12:54 | Permalink
One of our favorite Haley phrases is "help help!". She says it in the cutest high-pitched girly voice when she needs help with anything. Sometimes she'll "fall" on the ground and hold out her hand for you to help her up - and she'll say "help help!".
It's SO cute. :) She also says "ew" in the funniest voice... I don't even know how to describe it. Maybe I can get it on video sometime.
We have REALLY been enjoying the weather lately! It's so nice to be able to step outside and not feel heat. Mornings are the best, when it's actually a little cold. :) Makes me want to sit outside with a blanket and some hot chocolate.
It's still pretty fun inside too...
My mom has a thing with Pooh Bear. Everyone has their thing... I take too many photos. She has a Pooh Bear obsession. :-p Anyhow... She gave Blake this outfit - which I agree is super cute. But... he will outgrow it before he needs the jacket. I had to make sure I got plenty of photos of him in it while I could. Enjoy, Mom! :) (He's also wearing/eating his first shoes, but there will be plenty of time for more photos in them.)
I had been bathing Blake in the 'newborn' side of his baby tub... I know, I know. He's way too big for that!
I switched him to the 'infant-toddler' side, which he seemed to like better! He's still a bit too big for that too though.
I decided to give up trying to hold onto that little bit of baby-hood and just put him in the big tub. He loved being able to splash freely! (I have to add that it's so hard to get the color right in bathtub pictures...)
He had just kicked his feet and splashed water in his face. haha!
I better stop there. I'll save my next 1000 photos for the next post! :)

good bye summer
Sat, Sep 25 2010 09:37 | Permalink
Thursday Blake had his first stuffy/runny nose... it wasn't too bad and didn't last too long. I'm thankful we got off easy with his first one! Haley's nose is stuffy this morning - maybe hers won't be too bad either.
I guess Blake needed extra sleep to get over his. He normally takes 20-30 minute naps, but yesterday he took a 2 hour nap. THEN... I laid him down for a nap at 5, and he slept till 6 this morning! :-o He rolled over to eat and went back to sleep every few hours as usual, but still! I think his little self just knew he needed some extra sleep to feel better. I wonder if Haley's little self knows the same thing? Maybe the unthinkable will happen today... maybe she'll nap!
So SUPPOSEDLY today is the last hot day. Supposedly. Fall is my favorite time of year... I love everything about it. Summer was fun, but I won't miss the heat!
Blake is growing up so fast! He's close to sitting on his own, and he can stand propped on his own for a while. We got the high chair out, and he seems to like it. Once he's 6 months old he'll get to eat big boy food... just a few more weeks! We'll be making his food just like we did for Haley. :)
Haley likes to play with Blake's things.
And she lets him play with her things.
They're so sweet together. ♡
What's happening photography-wise? It's getting there... I would love to do more photo sessions, especially now that fall is here! The colors are beautiful, and it's not too hot or cold (is that even possible down here?).

Haley has been showing interest in my camera lately... She knows how to make Mommy smile. :)

new words
Thu, Sep 16 2010 04:27 | Permalink
Haley's speech has improved SO MUCH. She can pucker to blow and kiss, and she can blow bubbles. This is a HUGE improvement from the side-mouth-blowing she used to do, just a few months ago!
This was in June:
Then we worked on getting her to do this...
And now she can do this!
Because of that, she can say things like "go".
That's just the beginning. Since we've started mouth exercises and different techniques her speech therapists gave us, she's added new words! We're so excited and so proud of her.
Her current list of spontaneous words (words that she says on her own with no prompting):
uh oh
buh buh (mama)
dada or daddy (she alternates)
baby
no (ooh)
yes (sss)
please (ssss)
cheese (eessh)
up
down (oooh)
high
low
open ('oowah')
close (ose)
stop (op)
go (ooh)
ew
*editing to add a couple I forgot: help and more (mmmaa)*
She likes "Wow Wow Wubbzy" - a cute cartoon on NickJr. On a lot of the episodes, one of the characters wriggles his fingers and says "that's cooky". Sometimes she'll randomly wriggle her fingers the same way and say 'ooo'. :)

She attempts lots of words if we ask her to, but these are the main ones she says on her own. It's a HUGE list, considering she didn't make ANY sounds 6ish month ago!
Other than speech, she's doing great. She still doesn't nap (bless my heart...), so she's pretty whiny by the end of the day. It's nothing we can't deal with though. She's shows no interest in potty training, but we'll get there.
Blake is doing great too. He's a terrible napper, and he hates riding in the car. Otherwise he's a great baby! He's so much fun and so sweet. I love watching his personality emerge. He seems to be freakishly close to sitting on his own - he's not even 5 months old yet! He can 'tripod' (prop himself with his arms) for a couple minutes at a time, and he can sit without propping himself (not straight up) for a minute or so at a time (when he doesn't lose his concentration or balance). That can't be right, can it?
I've been taking a LOT of pictures lately. I really do try not to take so many, but I can't resist!

what sleep?
Sun, Aug 22 2010 08:12 | Permalink
It really amazes me how you can manage on consistently very little sleep. Before kids, I thought I needed a good 7-8 hours to function... haha! That literally makes me laugh out loud now. If I get a few hours straight I'm doing good. But it doesn't really bother me - I guess you can get used to being a walking zombie.
It's partly our fault though... we stay up late watching tv. I know we shouldn't, but we enjoy that down time together to end the day. We never got into the show Lost when it came on, but we decided to start watching it on Netflix. Man... how did people wait a week between episodes?? The show is crazy addictive. We're in season 3 now. I can't wait till tonight... Kate and Sawyer just got away from the others, and I'm curious to see how everyone will react to their situation. Ack! Anyhow... we might get some sleep if we weren't addicted to that show. :)
Haley has started saying 'baby' (not 'buh buh' or 'baba' - 'ba-by') and 'uh oh'! It's so cute. ♥ She said 'night night' once, with the N and everything! She's consistent with 'dada' for Seth and 'buh buh' for me, and with yes ('sss') and no ('oooh'). If she's in the mood, she'll try to repeat anything we ask her to. She has made remarkable improvements. We'll have to get a new video soon - we're SO proud of her! And Blake? I'm pretty sure he'll be giving speeches by next week.
Some recent pictures...
We're about to upgrade their car seats, so I had to get a picture of them in these.

warning: super mushy post ahead
Wed, Aug 18 2010 02:11 | Permalink
I've been thinking a lot lately about what I love about my family. Sappy, I know... But it is what it is.
I'll start with Seth. We've been together almost 12 years (married for 7). We were 15 and 16 years old when we started dating. That seems crazy young thinking back... my sisters and brother are that age now. I guess that's what happens when you get old - younger ages seem much younger. When you're 15, 30 is like 50. When you're 30, 15 is like 10. Or something like that.
So what do I love about Seth?
• He loves me. That's not an easy job I'm sure!
• He's an incredible husband. I can't even put into words all the things he does for me and our marriage. He just - is - a great husband. Period.
• He's so kind.
• He's a super daddy. I love watching him play with Haley and Blake, and the way they are with him - it's nothing but love.
• He's a hard worker. He's great at what he does, and he's passionate about doing it right and well.
• I could go on and on, but I think I got my point across (and I haven't started on the kids' lists yet!). He's a great man, and I'm so blessed to have him.
What do I love about Haley?
• She's SO sweet. I'm not just saying that because I'm her mother - she really has a very kind heart.
• She always makes her babies/dolls hug and kiss. Barbies, army men, Yo Gabba Gabba characters, farm animals, dinosaurs... they all have to hug and kiss. The ones with arms are best.
• She loves her brother and tries to include him. This morning Haley and I were kind of dancing, bobbing our heads to a song. She put her hand on Blake's head and carefully helped him bob along too.
• She's a great player. She sits with her toys for a long time and plays so well. She makes lots of noises with her sweet little voice - it's so fun to just sit and watch her.
• Sometimes at night she wakes up for no other reason than she wants one of us (Seth since Blake was born) to sleep with her. So sweet!
What do I love about Blake?
• The way he looks up at me when I'm feeding him... It's perfection.
• Sometimes he sucks his thumb. It's so cute!
• He's really talkative and animated. I could sit all day and talk to him and make him laugh.
• He's a pretty good sleeper at night. He doesn't sleep through the night - I don't expect him to. But he does sleep a pretty long stretch, and when he wakes up to eat he usually goes back to sleep very quickly and easily.
• When he's upset, I lay down to feed him. He cuddles into me and settles right down. That alone makes me so happy to be his mommy.
I could go on and on and on about all of them. They are my world, and I would not be who I am without them in my life.
That was probably mushy enough. How about a few pictures. :)

family portraits
Tue, Jul 27 2010 09:19 | Permalink
We wanted family portraits with each of our families. My brother was home from Afghanistan for a couple weeks, and Seth's brother is about to move to Savannah. It seemed like a good time to get a portrait with each family.
This is my family, minus my older brother.
This is Seth's family.
We're blessed to have such great family close by.
Random thought... Last night I dreamed we were ready to try for another baby. I must have ingested something toxic before bed. Ack!
More pictures? Sure! :)
Their eyes make me melt. ♥

big update

It's hard to find computer time these days, hence the lack of blogging the past couple months. I'll try to keep this thing more up-to-date. I'm thinking about trying a photo blog type thing. If I do I'll add the link to my sidebar. :)
Blake is such a good baby. He got super fussy there for a while, and his pediatrician prescribed Zantac for him. That helped him a LOT, and after 2 weeks of that we decided to see how he does without it. He hasn't had it for a couple weeks now and has been fine. Seems like it was a temporary problem. He's not much of a napper... he cat-naps all day. But I don't' worry about it since he sleeps pretty well at night. He's such a talker, and he's so happy! It's really easy to get smiles and coos from him. His ability to talk reaffirms Haley's speech problems - she never cooed like he does. Another thing about Blake... he HATES riding in the car. That makes it pretty hard to go out anywhere. Haley hated the car for a while too, but she got better. I know he will too.
Haley's been seeing a speech therapist through the early intervention program, but we also got with another speech therapist who sort of specializes in apraxia. Haley's too young for an "official" diagnosis, but everyone seems to agree that it definitely looks like that's what she has. We've been working on different things, and she's made a LOT of progress! She can say 'dada', 'buh buh buh', and 'eesh' to try different words. She's doing so great and trying so hard. We're so very proud of her.
So how is it having 2 little ones? I won't lie - it's not easy. Housework and showers are luxuries that don't always happen every day. (Did I just admit that publicly? Ugh...) I spend my days changing diapers, feeding them, cleaning after them, helping Haley with mouth exercises, helping Blake learn to roll over, getting Blake to sleep, playing with either/both of them, watching Dora, dealing with tantrums, playing outside when it's not too brutal, etc etc etc... Does that sound fun? It doesn't to me just reading it. But overall I REALLY love staying home with them. Yes it's hard, yes there are things I'd like to do that I can't right now (start a photography business, take a random spur-of-the-moment trip, have a relaxing meal out, type with 2 hands, etc...). But I wouldn't trade my situation for anything. It's so fulfilling taking care of them. Before we know it they'll be in school and I'll miss the days of trying to appease 2 crying babies at once.
How about a "few" pictures? :)
