Super Baby!!

She looks like she is flying right?!  :)

Cousins on the couch!

My sister-in-law, her husband and their adorable new baby boy were up this past weekend so we took the opportunity to try to get a picture of all the cousins on this side together.  Six kids ranging from age 5 to 2 weeks old :)  Not too bad of a picture, if I do say so myself.  I had to laugh at all the other pictures I too, because in each one of them at least one of the big kids was making a goofy face.  Silly kids!

From left to right:  Leah, Hannah, Caedon, Gabe, Cole and Connor

Gabe holding Cole.  He held him for about 3 seconds and then he was done :)

I love this picture of my big girl holding her tiny cousin.  This kiddo LOVES babies!  She told the other day while we were driving to get groceries that she though we should have 10 kids.  LOL, not so much :)

We tried to get a picture of Leah and Cole together but neither one was super impressed.  They both started to cry, so that was the end of that.  Holding a two week old makes Leah seem so big.  It is crazy to think that she was that small at one point :)

Like Father Like Son

When Nick and I first got married we made a deal about doing the dishes.  Our deal was that I would cook and that Nick would clean up after supper every night.  And I would say that 95% of the time we stick to that deal.  It is FANTASTIC!!  And now, it looks as though Nick is passing this tradition down to Gabe :)  I am sure that his future wife will appreciate this someday :)

 Scrub, scrub, scrub!!

Way to show him how it's done daddy!

5 months old

I cannot believe that my baby is 5 months old already!  It is crazy how quickly the time goes by, and I am amazed at how the past 5 months have literally flown by.  Leah is growing like a weed and doing all kinds of new things every day.  She is sleeping through the night on a pretty consistent basis (YAY!) and takes 2-3 naps a day.  She still really likes the baby carrier, and she also likes the exer-saucer.  She nurses every 3-4 hours during the day now, and I think she is getting close to being ready for solid foods.  She is much more aware of what is going on around her now and she is easily entertained by her big brother and big sister :)  She also really likes her mommy and daddy and will even start to reach out her arms when she wants to be picked up.  We love you Leah and watching you learn and grow is such a blessing!!

Cutie Kiddos :)

I think that my kids are pretty cute :)  Rotten sometimes, but most definitely cute :)
