Lorelei’s first haircut

Lorelei’s first haircut

Lorelei has had a big week! First she became a big sister, and then she had her first haircut. Chris was cutting the boys' hair and Lorelei insisted that he cut hers too. I had to take some pictures to mark the occasion, even if it was just a little trim. It's a...

The last photo of Lorelei as a 2 year old. How can it be that my baby girl is about to be 3?! And yes, she is still addicted to the paci. I am hoping to have that addiction cured before she turns 4. But with a new baby on the way, it's not something we will likely...

Lorelei’s 2nd birthday

My sweet baby girl is somehow 2 years old already--this life of mine is flying by so freaking fast. Every time I sit down to add to our blog, I get so nostalgic and sometimes even sad that time is flying by so quickly. But it's helpful for me-- to put things in...

Lorelei’s 1st birthday party

Our sweet Pea-pie turned one year old on 3/14-- did you realize that Pea-pie was born on Pie Day? Well, she was! Which is why her nickname "Pea-pie" is so funny to me! Anyway, Lorelei's day started like every other--snuggling with brother while Mommy sneaks out of bed...

On the eve of Lorelei’s 1st birthday

My sweet tiny baby turns a year old in just a few hours. *sniffle* I still remember so vividly sitting in that birthing tub in my living room holding her tiny body after I pulled her up out of the water. Not yet knowing that she was indeed a she. Just feeling so...

Lorelei’s first food

Lorelei’s first food

Sweet Lorelei is almost 7 months old so we decided to try out some solid foods. She hasn't shown much interest, but we decided to try anyway since Grandma is staying with us. We wanted her to be able to take part in this milestone.  But before the food photos, here's...
