Am I vain?

Are blogs vain? Am I being vain or raising a vain child because I think that others would want to read about myself and my family? Well, I do enjoy reading other people's blogs...um, some people's blogs. I suppose we'll just have to live a more exciting life so people will enjoy our blog too...
Am I spelling vain right? It's not vane, is it? I'm too lazy to look it up.

Ok, fine, I looked it up...
Vain - Excessively proud of one's appearance or accomplishments; conceited.
Hmmmm, maybe I am?

As promised, I will introduce Alisha Isabel and Angela Marie, born yesterday at 1:51 and 1:52 pm weighing 5 pounds 4 ounces each. Big sister Alexis is doing great and we are so excited for their family. Here they are:

Angela is on the left and Alisha is on the right. They are both beautiful little girls with enormously long fingers! To be honest, all these babies bring bittersweet joy. Of course part of me wishes it were me, but I know it is simply not my time. And, until it is, I will relish in the happiness brought by all these precious little ones. I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends with such amazing families...(By the way, can someone please have a boy! Poor Nathan is surrounded by all these ladies...I suppose it will make him an extra sensitive man, right!?)

Why I'm doing this and 2-year check-up

Yes, I'm giving into the blogging gods and starting one of my own. The peer pressure was too much! Actually, we are so blessed to have many people all over the world that care for Nathan and want to watch him grow. So instead of messing around with myspace or facebook, I thought a blog would be a great way to share pictures and updates on my favorite little man.
Anyways, I took Nathan in for his 2-year appointment and all is well. He is 37 inches and 33 pounds which keeps him in the 95 percentile. He's following his curve perfectly. We discussed his language delays, but due to his latest burst of words, the doctor isn't too concerned. We both agreed that my 6-week break from school will be an ideal time to watch and observe him for any concerns developmentally. After a quick Hep A poke, we were on our way. Nathan spent the day showing strangers his camouflage bandaid and saying, "Owie". Too cute!!

Off with a BANG!

So, I decided to start off my little boy's blog with a bang. Last night, as Nathan was running into the bathroom for bath time (yes, it's an exciting time in our household), he caught the rugged, slipped and fell mouth first on the toilet. Not a sound a mother wants to hear! And now my perfect little baby has a chipped front tooth!

The pediatrician said to get it looked at. But now my son is gonna look like a hill-billy until elementary school! Help!!

On another note, I got to meet my good friend Katie's brand-new baby girl. Seriously, this baby is adorable. No scrunched-up ugly face or cone head, just pure beauty. Rare when it comes to newborns. I was able to spend a few wonderful hours on the couch cuddled up with her today. And now I will introduce the first of many babies to come...McKinlee.
Like I said, the first of many...Alicia and Angela made their entrance into our world this afternoon and I will meet them tomorrow. Don't worry, there are 3 more babies on their way (that I know of!!). I'll post pics of the twins tomorrow after our visit.
