I'm raising a cannibal

Faye was prepped all morning to go to the office to drop off her Easter eggs to Jack&Bridget and then go to lunch with Amy.
"Mine eggs Jack, a go eat Amy."
"Faye are we going to eat lunch with Amy?"
"Yes, I eat Amy."
:-)

i am not a monster, i am a MAN!

 STOP PUTTING MY SISTER'S BOWS ON MY HEAD!

James 2 months

you are 2 months old?! (well, now even older than 2 months!)
that's crazytown.
we love you.
you are very fat & getting fatter everyday! (5 ounces every 2 hours for 4 feedings.. REALLY??)
here you are with your doggie:

you are the same size faye was a 4 months. the resemblance is starting to lessen, sadly. she definitely got much lighter eyed & lighter haired & more girly, but there is still a STRONG likeness in person. i'm kind of sad they are starting to look less alike. although, faye's receding hair line was kinda unattractive, so james has got that going for him! (i guess he has got to enjoy his hair while he has it, right? get ready, buddy, you will most likely be bald at 24...)

 

Video of Labor

http://youtu.be/clNjqVcwzMs

i love this video. i love that i'm playing spider solitaire. just hanging out. i love brad & that he videos things. i'm really in a lot of pain, right? you can totally tell i'm in labor *wink*

i totally support people who want natural births. i think it's awesome. i also support people who do not. i LOVE LOVE LOVE that fact that the last couple hours of being a family of 2 or 3 have been pleasant, happy, snuggly memories with brad. we talk & laugh & play games & enjoy our last moments before our world is rocked with a baby. I loved that with James my epidural was lighter & i could feel more. i also loved that i was at a 5 before i had an epidural this time & really enjoyed the hours of natural labor. i was also glad when i got pain meds when i could no longer enjoy natural labor.

this video is when i have been complete for over an hour, but baby was face-side up so we were waiting to see if we could get him turned the right way. i had to do pushes sitting regular, then turned on my side, regular, turned, & he finally came around & was ready to come out at 10:25 AM.

two babies, one gene pool

brad + lindsey = babies that look like brad.
many people think that james & faye do not look alike. they are mistaken. CLEARLY.
so so so so many times i have looked at james' sweet face, smile, eyes, expression & thought, "you look like your sister!" and then i dance a jig inside bc i think she is very cute & that bodes well for his future. :)
every picture i find of them it's a dead giveaway which is which, besides the fact she is usually wearing pink, is he is FATTER. oooooo my fat baby boy. love them both!

Cute face

James is a different baby. Week and a half on bottles and he is happy, more calm, sleeping longer& just generally more pleasant to have around! He hasn't screamed for an hour( or more) in2 days!
He is weighing in over thirteen pounds (we have his 2 month appt soon, too, for more stats) and has some serious fat rolls going on! Chin, wrist, thighs- so kissable!! I love it!
He loves watching& talking to everyone. He loves Disneyland, or anywhere outside. He puts up with Faye kissing him, putting stickers on his face, piling toys on top of him, & talking too closely/loudly very well. What a trooper!

New member of the family!

Nope, not baby J- a Kia Sorento!
A piece of heavenly news is we got a new car!  2012 Sorento with 3rd row seat is our new family-mobile! Our accord (which we bought to drive into the ground) had too many problems& we decided to get out while it was worth a lot. Instead I now drive around in quiet style & comfort& security of 3 separate 10 year, 100,000 miles warranties!
I bore Brad a son& he bought me a car! :-)

Faye is 2!!

I have no idea how to even start. My baby is TWO. Two!!
She is just as sweet, smart, talkative and a joy as she ever was! My Angel baby has become a sweet little lady!
28 pounds, 35.5 inches tall, barely a size 5 shoe, dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes the exact shade as mommy's, and daddy's even keel personality.
Everyday I love you more, Faye! My baby!

We weren't able to have a party with friends this year so we went to grandma's for cake the Sunday before. Little princess!
In her real birthday we had eggs and bacon for breakfast& played happily all day. Daddy got off with early& we went to Disneyland with auntie coco and the boys (since it's Matthew's birthday the next Sunday). Happiest place on earth!! Great day with a great little lady!!

Sunday afternoon tunnel time

What I love most most most about Faye being 2 is how FUN she is!! It's like having a little fun, smiley, companion all the time. Everyday she is saying new words, using verbs more correctly, and just a joy to have around. I'm amazed at how cute & happy she is. Love her!
