Little Tie-Maker...

Well i gotta say... it's kind of a big deal around here. :) Nearing the halfway mark with this little one and going crazy trying to think up the perfect name.
We thought he looked a little bit like Gage when we watched him on the ultrasound.
What a miracle...

why gagey is never bored

i love how my bare belly is exposed & my hands are down my pants. classic. Focus on the cute children if you can...

i wonder how many hours gagey has listened to me yelling & banging :) i love his reflection in the piano - (if you can see past the fingerprints :)

where did baby go?

Pure Joy

A series of photographs titled "Pure Joy" by the photographers, Sloanie & Cairo...
i know, i know... i never post on the weekends, & here i am bloggin' on both Saturday & Sunday, but i'm lonesome beyond belief, so either you can do like the vast majority of the universe does & ignore me - or you can gaze with wonder at my miracle baby.

In this series of photographs, the subject was asked to "smile".

He performs beautifully, doesn't he?

Psalm 91 - i'm covered in feathers

k, *honestly*....



Every single time i go to download my pictures, i forget to check for all the crazy shots added by the littles... i wonder how many movies Peyton made, or pictures of Gage Sloanie took... harumph... Guess i'll wait & see when they're all uploaded...

So, little Gage is still "ebf" (exclusively breastfed) & yet, he's cutting his 4th tooth & is very interested in food, so mealtimes are getting interesting with him grunting & reaching for everything & gnawing on everything in an effort to relieve his teething. i gave him a huge carrot to rub his teeth on, but he quickly got sick of it, & so in desperation tonight to get a few bites, i gave him a pickle. HE LOVED IT... but he was also very very tired. Soon he was nursing on the pickle and drifting off to sleep... Neil captured it on video, so here 'tis. (post script: The pickle was whole when i pulled it out of his mouth, just a little less round... no, he wasn't a happy boy when i took it out of his mouth...)
