I had to play dress up this morning....not many of his clothes even fit him yet. Like this outfit...the pants are pull up to his nipples and the shirt looks like nightie...but hey, its really all about the hat and the shades man!
Alannah: Mommy look, he doesn't even fit in his skin!
There has been many more interesting things from the mouth of Alannah since having Reuben....here are a few examples:
Gary brought all the girls to see me at the hospital and Alannahs eyes were the first to see the catheter bag and tube...I watched her eyes travel up the tube and then she stood there processing what it was. Here is her comment: Oh my gosh.....that is so embarrassing!
Then we took them in to see Reuben. Gary was changing his diaper and they were all watching. As soon as his little boy parts were exposed Alannah blurts out " Look Dad....It looks like an elephant seal!"
A few days before Reuben was born, Elizabeth was on our bed in the morning telling me that the baby is going to come out my eyes when it comes out. I was explaining to her in very simple terms how the baby really comes out...yet she still insisted that it would come out my eyes...in the middle of this Alannah had made her way onto our bed and was now ready to insert her 2 bits....
Alannah: No Pinky, the baby can come out 2 ways....the doctor either cuts it out of your stomach and then you stomach is ruined forever or the baby comes out your butt and then your butt is ruined forever!!
O.K. here is the last Alannah comment for the day...(its milking time...)
Alannah: (during a diaper change) Look Mommy his DILLY DINK is bigger then is leg!
DILLY DINK!!!!!!! Where in the world did she get that one!?! Thank you public school and the children in it! And just for the record...our son's "dilly dink" is not as long as his leg!
Here is the newest creations of Emily and Alannah's...... They are off of the movie Flushed Away. I am pretty impressed.
Life is starting to feel a little more normal now. It is very nice to be home......
Our little boy is doing well.....my midwife was here on Saturday to see him. He had gained 2.5 ounces. Not alot, but pretty good for a little guy! He now weighs 5.13 pounds! Not quite at his birth wieght....but getting close!
I leave you now with some pics of the cutest little boy....and his very cute sisters!
O.K.......Here are some more, cause he is pretty amazing!
You have to have the classic "bath in the kitchen sink" shots!
He loves his baby swing! Thank God!!
