Macy singing "1-2-3-4-5...I caught a fish alive"

Macy can sing the entire song by herself but of course as soon as the camera is out she forgets the words! WARNING: Watching this video more than a few times may cause you to sing this song all day!!!

Here are the words:

1-2-3-4-5

I caught a fish alive

6-7-8-9-10

I let him go again

Why did you let him go?

Because he bit my finger so

Which finger did he bite?

The little finger on the right!

I will apologize now if this song gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day!!! But it always makes my day to hear her sing-Have a great weekend!!!

Matthew - 1 Month

Matthew is officially 5 weeks old now and since it has been almost that long since my last post and the kids are both sleeping (wonder how long that will last?) it is about time that I get on here and update everyone on the last month of our lives!

Overall life with 2 kids has been amazing! Sure their have been the sleepless nights, birth announcements and thank yous to write, and the mounds of laundry and dishes waiting in the sink...but as hard as it has been for me I have kept telling myself that those things can wait! And it isn't like they have a choice either b/c little Matthew has really developed a love of wanting to being held all the time. Thank goodness for the lovely sling that my mom and I made- it sure has come in handy...I really need to post some pictures of that on here too.

Matthew has his 1 month check up later today but I'm guessing he is almost 12lbs now. Little man LOVES to eat and I can't believe how big he has gotten in the past week alone. I am nursing and I can't believe how easy it has been this time around....but I find myself saying that a lot lately. Maybe it is because Matthew is more laid back, or maybe it is because Mark and I are more relaxed- who knows?

All I know is that life is really good right now and that God has really blessed our little family!

Just Matthew

I'm having a problem....

Matthew is 9 days old today and I am finding that it is so hard to just take pictures of JUST him! One reason is because I am finding less time these days to take the pictures and second I feel like I am leaving Macy out.

Now I'm sure this is normal and anyone out there that has more than one child knows what I'm talking about but I feel so guilty. I just know some day he is going to grow up and look back at his baby pictures and realize that he has less than his sister...or maybe he won't care as much because boys are not into pictures as much as girls.

Either way, I am trying to make sure that I start taking pictures of just Matthew and push the guilt out of the way!

Having Fun!

Macy and Matthew
