Big Girl

Mary wearing some new pajamas (thanks so much, Ashley!):
Mary is mostly in six-month clothing now (as below). She's ten weeks old. I think my kids must have abnormally chubby arms. The first thing that doesn't fit in any given outfit is the sleeves. Note how Mary's arms are squeezed into her sleeves like sausages.
John being snuggly:

Having Erica visiting is like being on vacation for me. She helps with the kids all the time. She helps me cook (and would do all the cooking if I would let her). She washes all the dishes and puts them away. She quietly picks up toys when I'm not looking. I love her for many other reasons, but her helpfulness is so enjoyable for me too!

  1. THat is so weird about the sleeves LOL!! Totally adorable...baby girl clothes are irresistable!!!!
    I can't believe she is in 6 month stuff!! Ben still wears some 6 month stuff! But baby sizing is so weird isn't it?? He has a few 3-6 and 6 month onesies that he still wears....and he also has some 18m stuff that fits great. I never know what size to buy him.

  2. God Bless Aunt Erica for being such a dear! You are blessed to have her :) Wish she lived closer...
    Mary is gorgeous, and I just love her wide-eyed fetching expressions.

  3. She sounds like my boys! They were both in 6 month clothes by two months and of course the fluffy CD bottoms didn't help! My littler guy has slowed his weight gain now (only 18 lbs. at not-quite-six-months), but he wears 12-18 months because of his bulky dipes!
