Seven Months And Growing

Jewel has a mind of her own when it comes to food. I gave up trying to get the spoon back by force and just waited for her to drop it. Then I give it back to her with some more food on it.




Starting her on Veggie Tales already. Of course she just wanted to eat the DVD case.




With a pilfered blow pop. She's got fast hands.

Hazards of Being A Younger Sibling

Your older siblings will decorate you.



Words fail me on this one.



Ethan was similarly decorated. I don't know if it was his doing or Sophia's.



Jewel eventually saw the humor in this too. Ethan and Sophia were jumping up and down to show her how to jump in the command center (so named by a friend of ours). This she found funny enough to laugh at.

Isaiah

The boy formerly known as the ghost is getting a little more comfortable around cameras.

Apple picking in September.


Getting ready to take off after inspecting big brother and the baby.


Covetously eying the paint, as hubby says, in Sophia's now purple room.


Mmmmm chocolate icing. For his next birthday I'm just going to pop open a can of icing and let him have at it. He never eats the cake.

Jewel

For those who asked here are some new pics of the latest addition to the clan.

The ultimate big brother holding baby sister.


Caught the smile on camera. She's about 7 weeks in this picture.

An Exercise In Avoiding Going To Bed

What better excuse is there for avoiding going to bed than admiring your new baby sister? Isaiah is absent form these photos because he actually goes to bed when we tell him it's bed time (most of the time).

New Addition

Jewel Elisabeth a few minutes old in L&D.


A few hours old in Maternity.




First day home with big sister. Funnily enough Sophia had a similar look on her face to Jewel's when we brougth her home to Ethan and Isaiah.
