6 3/4 month Flashback

Sorry, I can’t help it. I think it’s so fun to compare the babes at the same age to look for resemblance (or lack there of), especially in the same outfits!!! It’s curious how the clothing that I put on Genevieve really takes me back to when Alizea was the same age.  A bit of… Continue Reading

Food Art

So as I mentioned previously, all of a sudden, Spicy has been much more enchanted by turning her food into finger paints, body paints or any kind of  messy creative play rather than by its palatable qualities. Frankly, it was really driving me nuts, causing me to lose my patience, get way more upset than… Continue Reading

Six Months!

It’s hard to believe that half a year has passed since your birth…I think if I would’ve had the following image in my mind on January 9th, perhaps, I wouldn’t have used such profane language to curse those wondrous labor pains… Wow, what a darling, angelic, girl you are. No wonder we have given you… Continue Reading

You’re Funny

As I was sorting through the photos and videos I have uploaded recently, I ran across a short video clip I had forgotten about. As I was viewing it, I started laughing so hard it peaked daddy’s curiosity. When I showed it to him, he was belly laughing, harder than I have heard in awhile…… Continue Reading

Deep Cries to Deep

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for   the old order has passed away. Revelation 21:4   This was taken just after some snuggly sister time (in Mimi’s arms) when spicy A accidentally moved too quickly toward sweet G’s noggin, causing… Continue Reading

My favorite part, H – I – J – K – ‘a-n-i-m-a-l’ – P ….ha! along with emphatically informing me… Continue Reading

Self Sufficient

I just can’t get over how darn cute the following is…Maybe it’s because it’s such a seemingly mature, coordinated thing to do for such a teeny, tiny baby and such a teeny, tiny thumb. Maybe it’s because it’s so very different from your pacifier-addicted sister. Or maybe it’s because of your sweet personality that gives… Continue Reading

Chatter Box

A’s communicating has improved leaps & bounds within the last month. Every single day brings a new word or phrase that both impresses Dean and me and almost always gives us a good laugh! It is a very fun time! Our My early fears whether she’d ever speak or need intervention have definitely been overruled… Continue Reading

Funny Talk

It seems as though every time you spend an extended period of time with Mimi, you come back a more mature, independent and communicative little girl! Some of your latest phrases: “No, I do it!” “Davieve (Genevieve) did a humongous poo-poo” (where in the world did she hear that one?) “Mommy, Mommy, I made a… Continue Reading
