So I Won't Forget

Because I know I will, I'm making a list of things I don't want to forget about you. Life moves so quickly and babies grow up. I wish I could save every moment and everything about you to take out and remember on a not-too-distant day when you are all grown.

1.The sounds you make: You growl when you're hungry and getting ready to eat. You whimper in your sleep. It breaks my heart and yet is so sweet. You are staring to coo and it makes me smile.
2. Little faces: I love your pout right after you were born, the same one you get when you are upset with your little lower lip out and everything. I love your pursed lips, ready for a kiss. You're my liitle baby bird mouth open wide when your ready to nurse. I love your first little crooked smiles.
3. I love your smell, always soft and sweet.
4. I love your soft hair and skin. I love to just hold you close and nuzzle and cuddle you. And I love how fuzzy your hair gets right after a bath.
I love you so!

Carter
1. You have the cutest, softest chubby little cheeks that I love to nibble.
2. I love your deep "manly" voice. So adorable!
3. You love to be the clown and make people laugh and I think you are very funny. I love your little head bobble when you've said or done something funny.
4. You are a mama's boy and I love it.
I sure do love you!

Paige
1. You love to dance, sing, and giggle. I love your personallity
2. You say the cutest things. I love your logic, and I love out talks in the car.
3. You get more beautiful every day.
4. You are getting more and more independent. You have your own sense of style. You choose your clothes and hair style often now. You know what you want and work to get it.  You like to take your time and do things just so.  You can do so much on your own now.  And though it makes me a little sad to see you getting so big, it is so fun to watch you grow.
Oh, how I love you!

Meet EllaBree

EllaBree Jolene Raybon was born to us on December 3rd 2011 at 4:41 PM. She was a sweet little 7 lbs. 1.5 oz. and 20.5 in long.
Labor and delivery was really quite enjoyable. I had very little pain and lots of company throughout the labor. Delivery was a breeze. I also had a great coach (thanks hun), nurse, and doctor.  
The rest of the pregnancy went well, with no problems. This was the most enjoyable pregnancy yet. I was not too sick and got meds pretty early. I was very hungry and so gained a good 32ish pounds. Of course there was discomfort but it was abated by the cherished baby movements, which continued to be somewhat infrequent. She is still pretty content to just cuddle and loves to be held. Ella is a very easy going baby and such a joy to have around. We are all so in love!
