SEVEN

This above shot is the way pictures turn out when Brian isn't home and I'm wrangling the kids together for a "photo shoot"!

When I looked at my calendar today at work I gasped. My baby is getting too big, way too fast.

Seven months old makes me feel like she's going to be a year old before I know it. I'm not ready for her to grow up! It's all happening too fast! Ugh.

Elin has two little bottom teeth that painfully made their appearance Father's Day weekend. They are so cute! She loves to blow raspberries, and has been pushing herself up onto her knees, and then flinging herself forward to get where she's going. She really beginning to like baby food, and goes through a serving in no time! She's at the age where EVERYTHING she picks up goes into her mouth immediately. I've been making sure to keep cold teething rings handy. She is still the sweetest little darling I could have ever hoped for. I thank my lucky stars every day for my 3 amazing kids!

I love Tot's smile in this pic!!

And, as always....Carson before he was my little Shrek watching, train playing, peanut butter sandwich eating, big boy potty refusing stinker!!!!

Vico's B-day Party

A bunch of my girlfriends and I got our kids together to celebrate my friend Juanita's son Victor's birthday. Vico doesn't actually turn 3 until Sunday, but we decided to have a little get together today. Our kids having been hanging out ever since they were born...many within months of each other! A lot of fun was had by all. We had lunch, and yummy cake pops that Mary had made for us. Holy cow were they a hit.

We had every intention of getting a group shot...but it just didn't happen! Too many toys to play with, and friends to visit. Everyone had a great time! Happy Birthday, Vico! We love you!
