Baby Love

The kids have been loving their new little sister... a little too much it seems at times. Sam was being so cute with her when I took this video, and I love that they're excited about her. But it's also hard not to get irritated with all the smothering, especially when I'm trying to nurse her and I have kids climbing all over me trying to kiss her and I feel like my personal space and privacy are nonexistent.

Zack & Wheezie

Sam and Natty came in my room the other day like this and announced that they were Zack and Wheezie (the two headed dragon on Dragon Tales). I thought it was pretty funny.

Natty Mommy

Natalie has been so cute taking care of her baby doll. She bounces her when she cries, puts her down for a nap, fights me for the boppy so she can feed her, and makes sure to take her with wherever she goes so she won't be sad alone. Here she is dancing with her.

More Wheels

I'm embarassed to say my 4 year old is more comfortable 0n rollerblades than me, but I think it's pretty cute.

Goodbye Training Wheels

Nate's been working with Sam on riding his bike, and he is doing so good. He's lucky to have a dad who's a good teacher and who cares so much about spending the time to teach and be with him. This video was about 3 weeks ago - the day before Gabriella was born. Nate had a week off after Gabriella was born, and it was fun to see Sam loving to spend lots of time with Dad riding bikes, rollerblading, llama hiking, working/playing in the yard, etc.
