Some Pictures from our Christmas photoshoots.

The Tiny Princess

I really need to catch up here!

Little Miss Julie just turned ten months last week. She had a weigh-in, which she has every month, due to her failure to thrive.

Current Stats:

Weight: 14 lbs, 4 oz.
Height: 27 inches
Head cir: 17 1/8

That is up from 13 lbs, 9 oz, 26 1/4 inches at 9 months.

Unfortunately we saw a different doctor than the one I like, and this woman was pretty bitchy. She said Julie's whole problem is I don't feed her enough. That mixing formula powder in her cereal could never work because it would make it too thick. That Julie shouldn't be on any table food, just cereal and the Gerber dinners(meat and vegtables). That would be fine except she won't eat them and I don't blame her.

But at least she is growing, even if it is still slower than normal. She has another weight check in a month. She may be tiny, but she is developing on or ahead of normal! She can stand up without pulling up, and we expect her to walk anyday now.

Welcome Baby Julianna!

Life is busy with two kids!

Baby Julianna arrived at 10:44pm on Groundhog's Day, February 2nd. The labor was short, only 5 hours compared to Zachary's 16 plus hours. The epidural worked this time, and it was heavenly. Only 4 or 5 pushes and she was born. It probably helped that she was nearly a pound and a half lighter than her brother was! She was 7 lbs, 3 oz and 20.5 inches.

She is still a petite little princess, although she is growing fast. She has started smiling and cooing. Her big brother adores her :)

Most importantly she sleeps 6 hours straight in a nice 11pm-5am block every night!

Zachary's Baby Sister

Baby Version 2.0 is almost complete. She is due in 3 weeks and 5 days. Everything is looking great, and my midwife is confident that she is smaller than Zachary was (he was 8.5 lbs, 22 inches, born at 39 weeks).

I spent today hauling baby things down from the attic, sorting through little baby clothes and setting up the baby cradle. We are nearly ready, in a physical sense anyway.

Photos From New Year's Eve

Zachary in his new bike helmet....he loves this thing, he got it for Christmas and insists on wearing it nearly everyday :)



Playing Playstation 2 with the boys:







I have dozens of nearly identical pictures of him playing Playstation, he was totally engrossed in the car racing game. His controller wasn't actually attached to anything :)

Just a cute picture of Zach on Jeremy ;)
