I’ve been going through some pictures of the kids over the past year and I found a lot that didn’t make it past my critical “my-kids-have-to-look-perfect-’cause-i’m-lame” filter, so I thought I’d share them now. It’s really just for me, for a laugh.

That’s a very small pacifier and the hat just fits over my fist. So tiny they were!

This is about when the stealing of pacifiers started.

And this is when I ignored my nervous doctor and put the bumper pad back.

Don’t worry sweetie, we aren’t going to exchange you for another baby.

My niece took pictures but never gave me the crying ones. I took this one myself and I treasure the reality of it.

It’s rare they both look at me at the same time for a picture. Wish it wasn’t blurry.

She was is always crying. She’s my strong-willed child.

I didn’t notice this one until just the other day. She stole sissy’s book when she wasn’t looking.
