Big smile, reminds me that she can be happy when she is not crying b/c I am putting her down for a nap or for bedtime.
Tristen being a healthy girl and eating her carrot (yes that would be a plastic carrot), hmm that's right we are still trying to work with Tristen on keeping things out of her mouth :)
Tristen and mom posing, yes mom is trying to be good and allow her picture to be taken this pregnancy.
Random shot, just made me smile
A few friends at my baby shower reminded me to dress Tristen up nice that way on bad days I would be less likely to kill her....that advice cracked me up at the time, but boy there is definately an ounce of truth in it. I guess for me looking at pictures and thinking of the fun times togther helps me get through the rough patches. One rough patch being this past week and a half, yes Tristen decided that she doesn't want to take naps and that she wants to be up multiple times during the night...and not to mention she has to have mom and dad around her when she does decide to go to sleep. Oh well, that is what being a parent is all about. I love her to death, but being in my last trimester with the lack of sleep and patience at times, I swear she will be my death. But on a brighter note she had a better day today :) If Tristen has a good day so does mommy. My hats off to my own mother who had nine kids and put up with all our crying and sleepless nights and to all the other moms out there who are lacking a little sleep in their life.

i love the comment about making sure your kids are cute so you are less likely to kill them. don't know how well that would work with my boys but i still love the idea. -oh, new stages, don't you just love them! no naps-drives me crazy when i coudln't get them to take naps anymore. we put the locks on the outside of the door so now we lock them in. yes, it's probably not the best parent idea, but it sure does save lots of headaches when they continually come out. mostly they fall asleep within 5 minutes of crying and then i unlock it so they can get out. works great for time out too. --well, i have to say you are way ahead of me on the baby name. i have one in mind and i keep telling the boys so they will program keith it's the name we want but nothing has been discussed-or debated-however you want to look at it. you look great-though i'm sure you feel like a whale in the ocean because i sure do.
Nine kids? Mamma mia!
