Our Christmas photo shoot.

I bathed both the kids at 7pm on a tuesday night and dressed them all up in their Christmas outfits. The photo shoot that followed took less than 20 minutes and came out much better than I thought. Liesl cried most of the time, we'd stick a binky in her mouth till she settled down then pull it out and take pictures. (I'm so mean) Couldn't resist taking a few of her crying too, afterall that is her normal state.

Overachiever

My little angel rolled over!! Belly to back for the first time before she was even 6 weeks old. At first I thought it was an accident, but she did it over and over again without assistance. Doesn't this baby know that I want her to stay tiny forever. She is already growing way to fast.

Look at ALL that hair!!!

Ever since Liesl was born and people stopped asking me when I was due, it seems the ONLY thing we hear when someone sees her is: "Look at ALL that hair!!"

I promised her that before long someone would have something to say to her besides that. Like maybe...."What a pretty smile". Though at this point it will probably be "Have you tried a pacifier?" (She cries ALOT)

Big Brother Braeden!

Braeden just can't get enough of his little sister! He took her pictures to school and showed everyone including the bus driver.

He loves holding her and feeding her and is especially proud of his "magic touch" when it comes to burping her.

He is a BIG helper, getting extra clothes, binky's and bottles. He even wants to help change diapers!!

Once when he heard her crying in the middle of the night he even got out of bed to see how he could help me. :)

He has been super understanding when I can't get up in the morning to wait for his bus with him, and when we can't play games after dinner because that's Liesl's fussy time. She is very lucky to have such a wonderful big brother.

a child is born.
