1 month old

When I was born mom was so happy I was growing well and she was surviving motherhood that she celebrated every month with a cake. I now started this same tradition. I did it with Dacian every single month. Here is her 1st month cake. It was very yummy.

Lavinia's blessing

On the 14th we had Lavinia blessed. It was such a special day and we were glad to have close family and friends come for her blessing. We had a great time eating yummies afterwards and just catching up. We love this little girl so much. She is doing great, she has started to smile and gurgle and is so alert. She is still a good baby for mommy and gets 6 hours of sleep at night before feeding. After that she sleeps some more. I hope she keeps this up since I have to go back to work after the holidays. :(

All tuckered out

Momma and baby right after birth.

Sweetness!

New family of four.

It's a GIRL!!!!

Born November 1oth at 3:03pm Lavinia Ariel Sanders has made her debut a day early. Yahoo! We are so excited she is here with us, healthy and cute. She was 8lbs and 20 inches long. We are all doing well, tired but in a good way. Dacian is doing OK all things considering and of course he wants to be a big brother and help his sister out in any way he can.

Sweet siblings.
A little embarrasing but cute nevertheless.

Baby come out!!!

OK, I am so ready to have this baby. I am big enough that at 38 weeks I probably have an 8 pounder in there. I am even embarrased to post pictures of myself. Not that I gained that much weight but the baby sure did. Anyway, everyone please pray for me that this baby comes soon and also advice on getting him or her here soon would be appreciated.

At the Zoo

The weekend Logan was in town we got to go to the Zoo. As you can see the cow is a hit. He would be such a good farmer. He loves animals and can't get enough of them. Also here he is as a little turtle. I just love this little boy. He always says he loves me too, plus he called me a "sweetie pie" the other day. It's so much fun to have him talking. I am getting a little sad for him to not be the only one anymore. I never thought I would feel that way and the purpose of number two was to have a friend for him but in a way I am a little sad he will most likely have a rough time and not feel like number 1 anymore.

Cousins

Here's all the Sanders' cousins. These guys are the cutest kids and soon they will grow a little older and will really get to play with each other.
Here they all are after our party for Logan (in red shirt) at our house. We had so much fun; the food was great and we got to play fun games. Dacian even got to blow the candles after Logan. Happy second b-day Logan. From left to right, Lily, Dacian, Alexis and Logan.
