Aunt Dee

My sister is home from Dallas (National Guard), and has finally met her nephew! Andrea has been there beside me on every delivery, so not having her there to welcome Will was very hard. I still can not believe all the stuff she went through in Basic Training! I would not have lasted a day! Hell, 2 hrs!!! When they told me I had to sleep out in the woods, check please!!! I'm done! We are so proud of her, and so glad she is home! I love you Andrea, and it is so nice to be able to pick up the phone and call you whenever I want to!

While most of the kids at the baseball game were running through red mud, what were my girls doing..........

Poor Will, he doesn't stand a chance!

Canon or Nikon??

Thank you for all of the helpful comments about Will. I do have the carrier, and it works great. We are doing much better, but he still wants to be held constantly. He has a little temper already :)

I need your help again! What type of camera do you have, and why did you choose it? I can't decide which one to get, and my anniversary is coming up on the 29th! I need to make a decision.

Help!!!

Mallory has nothing to do with this question, but I can not do a post without a picture. And, my girls can not do a picture without the peace sign! Having an older sister will do that to a little one!

Serious question here ladies!!! Will screams until I pick him up. The second I pick him up he stops! THAT IS NOT COLIC!! Do you let him cry it out, and if so, how long do you let him cry before giving in and picking him up? I know he is not wet, he just ate, he just wants to be held. If this was my only child, I would hold him all day long, but I have 4 other children to take care of. What do I do???????? Will it hurt him to let him cry for a certain period of time? I know this is my 5th child, but none of my girls did this! I am lost!

Silly Bands

Are you finding these all over your house too?

Silly bands

Last night I had my first glass/half a bottle of wine, in 9 months, and cut my own hair! I wanted bangs. Taking a picture while holding my infant, must be able to multi-task when you have 5 kids!!
I am wearing a sundress, it is just strapless!!!

Bath time

I found something he loves, his bath! He was so calm, and slept for 5 hrs! This is the first time I used the tub, and it will now be a daily thing! Colic my rear-end, he stops crying the second I pick him up! My husband says he has hold-itis!

Allie Grace and Mallory helped wash his hair!

All clean and ready for bed! He looks so tiny in his crib! Oh yes, and he already rolls over!!

I could not help but laugh when I saw these pictures. He was not happy about the outfit and hat, but it is so darn cute! Thanks Mimi for the cool pants!

Easter 2010

The Canamares

Baby Will in my brothers outfit! It is 25 years old.

Mallory can't figure out why he is crying, again!

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful advice! Things are a little better with the Zantac, but now he only stops crying when I hold him! I am in some trouble!

One word

COLIC

I am so exhausted! Will has reflux and colic. The Dr just put him on Zantac , so we will see. When he is not sleeping or eating, he is crying! I will take all the advice you have on soothing babies with colic. HELP

I will download Easter pictures in the morning, but right now I am going to sleep!

WHC II

I will post more when I start to feel better. Very sore, but everything went beautiful!
Right before they took us back.

Daddy

Here he is 8 lbs 9 ounces 20 1/2 inches long

Big Day!

I go in at 7 am for my c-section. I am so nervous and excited at the same time! I will post pictures as soon as I can, and thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes. I love you guys!

4 more days!

Sorry for my lack of posting, but I have been trying to get everything ready for Baby William. I can not believe I will have a boy in 4 days! I will be sure to update everyone from the hospital. Bill took the girls to Atlanta this past weekend to give me a break, and I was so sick, I couldn't even enjoy the free time. I ended up in the hospital hooked up to an iv! Thank God I am better now! Here are a few random pics, because you know I can not post w/out pictures. Madi and my niece Ava

Silly girls My little sister has her website up and running. Check her out. Lauren is really getting busy with her ads,commercials, and doing the news.

Say cheese

Not much going on here, just patiently waiting on baby Will. 13 more days until my C-section, and even after doing this 4 times, I am still freaking out a little bit!

Bill took the girls to church on Sunday so I could rest, and I tried to snap a few pics, but we all know how that can go...

"NO cam-rah put away Mommy, now!"

"If she would just listen to me Mommy, I am telling her to BE STILL and just smile!"

"Allie Grace, put down the paci, just for one picture"!

"Mommy, just take one of me, because I love having my picture taken"! We all know that Miss Madi!

And what does this picture mean? It means that Saturday I went and got my hair foiled and had a pedicure... ALONE!!!! Too bad the massage chair that the 9 month pregnant woman was assigned to DID NOT WORK! Oh well, it was a nice day. Thank you Bill for being such a great husband and Daddy!

Flashback Friday

My wedding day!

Bedding...check

I ordered the bedding from JavisDavis, and it will be here March 5th. I am so excited, I got one thing done on my list! I also got the cutest blanket and pillow to match! Thank you Allyson for all the great info!

All of my girls have had this yucky cough, so today it was Allie Grace's turn to go to the Dr! This was Mallory's reaction when she found out that it was her sisters appointment and not hers!

Of course, when we got there, she stopped coughing, smiled and laughed the entire time. The Dr looked at me like I was crazy!

Way behind!

I pulled out Ashlyn's scrapbook to show the girls, and realized that it has over 75 pages! Then, I pulled out Madi's (my second born), and it has one! Hmmmm, Mallory does not have one at all, Allie Grace does not have one, and Baby Will is coming March 16th! Wow, I am way behind!

Here are some of Ashlyn's pages. You can tell she was an only child. I had all the time in the world!

Here is Madi's 1 and only page! I will try to do at least 2 pages a week! We will see how that works out!
Time to break out the scrapbook supplies!
