4 years
Since I will be in the hospital next week on this little girls birthday I wanted to do a fun post for her before. Oh Bella! What can we say about you !?! You keep us all on our toes with your comments and attitude! She is turning into quite the big helper since her older sister is at school all day...she is always coming to me saying " dont cha know...". She loves to sing...she likes to make up her own songs....its pretty cute! She was helping me make brownies on Sunday and said " I wish I could be the mom," when I asked her why she said "because then I could have a baby in my tummy!" The only thing she wants to do for her birthday this year is go swimming.....so lucky her her daddy is going to take her while I make the pink cake!
Heres a few questions I asked her
Whats your favorite food? - spaghetti
Whats your favorite color? - pink and purple
Whats your favorite toy? - little people and babies and polly pockets
What do you like to play with your friends? - dress up
What do you like to do with mom? - paint toenails and find stuff
What do you like to do with dad? - get piggy back rides cause its so fun
What do you like to do with Liv and Ezra? - play with them
We Love You Bella and are so happy you're a part of our family!

18 months
18 months! Wow! The crazy part is, is that I have been pregnant with this brother for half of his life! He is such a joy in our home! He is in the 20th percentile in weight and 75th for height. He loves trucks and balls and hats (thus the hat on his head)! He loves to find his daddys stinky work hats and put them on. He melts my heart when he puts his arms around me and squeezes me tight and gives me loves. He loves hugging my belly and says "aw" and "baby". He adores his sisters and likes to hug them until they fall to the floor. His favorite words are bella (you should hear the way it rolls off his tongue, its so cute) , more dink (drink), truck, ball, dad, mom, b for bink and blanket....we get to try and guess which one, baba for bottle, li for Olivia, bubbles, baby, out, sick, and any new ones we can try and convince him to say. He loves to walk around and copy whatever his dad or sisters do...its quite funny. He loves shaken his thing to music! It makes me so sad to see him grow up so fast. He has been my best baby by far, and you wouldn't even guess that he had a raging ear infection in this picure...hes a tough little guy that likes to show us his muscles. We love you Ezra, and even all of your crazy jumping around at night time!

Needing a Breath of Fresh Air
After being couped up in the house for days on end my girls decided they needed a breath of fresh air, or not so fresh if you live where I do. So we ended up on the back porch while Ezra was taking his nap. We didn't last for long...it is pretty chilly here.

Names
Okay so this is the last venting session of the week I promise!!! I find it very interesting the way people respond to you when they ask you what names you are thinking of naming your baby.
You get responses like
"oh"
"oh that's interesting"
"oh my hell"
"hmm"
"have you thought of this instead"
"wow"
"well I have heard of worse"
(yes I have had all of these said to me not just during this pregnancy but previous ones as well)
And then you get looks on faces that tell you pretty much the same things as the responses above.
You know, wouldn't this world be boring if we all liked and named our kids the same names? Some people like the old fashioned, the trendy, the made up names, the plain jane names, the usual and unusual, and I think its great. It wouldn't be very fun if all of our kids went to school with the same names. And chances are if you don't like my names I don't like yours. But, thats what gives us identity and character and makes us who we are. So if you don't like my kids names thats ok! Just give me the same respect about mine as I do about yours!
