Monday Ellie was sick all day - she had started throwing up Sunday night and threw up much of the day on Monday. She wouldn't drink anything and was screaming a lot, which is unusual for her, so I'd been on and off the phone with the doctor's office throughout the day. This should have been my first clue that Tuesday's "well-child visit" wouldn' ( Read more... )

We moved the nursery upstairs about a week and a half ago.  My three precious babies aren't just three steps away from my bedroom anymore.  Seth is in heaven; I am traumatized.  I thought I'd be over it by now, but I'm really not.  I admit it's nice having all four kids upstairs together.  It's nice having our own space downstairs, as we'd intended ( Read more... )

Abby has this adorable new behavior, she throws these cute little temper tantrums when she's not getting her way.  She throws herself flat down on the ground, screams, pounds her little fists, looks up to see if you're watching her, and then goes back to screaming.  If you're not watching her (or you don't appear to be), she sits back up, wimpers, ( Read more... )

The babies took their first bath TOGETHER today. It sure was an adventure for Eema and Abba. I don't know if we'll ever be quite the same again, and I certainly don't know if we'll repeat the experiment again. The babies sure had fun, though. Abby was very calm through the entire bath, though didn't love that Sam and Ellie kept crawling all over ( Read more... )

Eleven months ago today, my babies were born. *sniff* They're hardly babies anymore, they're little people now, growing up too fast. I don't understand why some parents are so eager to get to each new milestone - to me, moving to the next milestone means the passage of time, and I want to savor each moment with these beautiful babies - not just ( Read more... )
