Day 39 - Babysitting!

You remember Eliot don't you? From my Day 36 post: "My Buddy!" In a day over one month, he has already grown! How cute is he now? I babysat Eliot today! Lucky me:)

This is Selah,  my dog. I've blogged about her before too. She came and slept next to Eliot. She even put a comforting paw on him to keep him happy. And happy he was! He was giggling and smiling the whole time. When she left after being there for a while, he actually started crying. No joke! How adorable is that?

Day 36 - My Buddy

If you remember, I went to Milwaukee for the Bead and Button show. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I got to sit next to a baby the whole time! (This is a good thing;) ) He was the cutest thing and he cried only one time! Seriously, he may be the cutest baby in the whole wide world! Oh, and his name is Eliot.

Thanks Eliot for being such a fun car buddy! I would have been bored in the backseat without you! 

Day 9 - Happy Birthday Tahlia!

Today is April 21. Go figure. But today is not just ANY April 21. Today is a special day because on this day 9 years ago, my little sister, Tahlia, was born! I remember a few weeks before she was born, we went to Hobby Lobby and bought white T-shirts and T-shirt glitter and then decorated a bunch of shirts to wear to the hospital when she was born! (That's my mom for ya! Always thinking about crafts even when she's pregnant)!

On the front they said "I'm a big sister," or "I'm a big brother," and on the back we drew out all of our family (stick figures of course. Then we drew a tiny baby at the bottom of the shirt! I think I may still have my shirt somewhere...

This is her now. She's SO cute and I love her so much! One thing I love about her is that she's extremely crafty...like my mom! She always wants to make something. And I mean always! She's also very one-track-minded. Starting exactly one week from her birthday, she would run to the mailbox everyday to check whether or not she got a card in the mail. She'd be really disappointed if nothing came, but then she'd just think about tomorrow! Like I said...one-track-minded. Hhmmmm. I wonder where she gets THAT! 

So I just wanted to wish my lil' sis a happy birthday! I love you T!

Day 8 - My OTHER (Second) Cousin

So on Friday I posted a picture of my new second cousin. Today, my mom, my sisters, and I all went to babysit her. And her mother and her big brother as well. Today, I'm blogging about him:) His name is Will...short for William. I don't think he quite realizes that the newborn baby is his sister yet, but I think it will sink in soon. 

Will got some jelly beans from Grandma today and he decided that he likes to eat them by licking them. Not actually chewing them, but getting colored slobber all over everything! It was really sticky and all over everything and...we had to clean it up. But it was cute. :)

Day 4 - New (Second) Cousin

On Wednesday, April 13, 2011, my cousin gave birth to a baby girl. Her name is Helena and she is such a beautiful baby! We went to see her today in the hospital. I got to hold her and take lots of pictures...but this is my favorite one! 

I realized how much of a miracle babies are today. The fact that they grow INSIDE another person is amazing, and then when they are born and actually breathe on their own...it's truly a miracle. It's even more amazing that God thought up the babies and their births. Babies are truly living, breathing, miracles!
