Picture extravaganza

I have been a little camera-happy lately what with having a newborn n the house and an extra set of hands around... So here goes...

Wearing her ballerina slippers from Grandma and her ballerina skirt from Gigi and looking "so pretty" (her words)

Getting "big air" from Daddy

"More, More air!"

Cuddling his girls

They can't get enough of their dad! I don't know how Blue is going to take it when he goes back to work!

I just came back from getting my hair cut and she insisted on combing it. I know I immediately mess with my hair after getting it cut, but I didn't know that was programmed at such a young age??

My precious girls!

Blue has been so amazing with Carli! She has been extremely kind and gentle most of the time

She is always interested in being close when Carli is on her belly

Sacked out!

We had a snack of apples and peanut butter and Blue just ate all of hers AND my peanut butter. How sweet of her to leave me the apples :)

So proud to hold baby sister. Check out the different skin tone!

Check out that cute ruffle booty!

We had to do some things in the basement so we bundled her up!

We asked Blue to put on a hat too...

Helping mom make no-bake cookies- yes, that is an ice cream scooper. I figure proper baking utensils is a later lesson...

Carli is helping too?

Playing with her "paper doll quilt" I don't remember what I did to deserve that look. I think I just asked for her best smile?

Carli got to wear one of the dresses too! Thanks big sister!

So many kisses for sister!

Love the booty pics!

I think she is always running these days. And often with a baby and a drink in tow too

One of the few babies I know who seems to actually seems to enjoy tummy time

Time to get dressed

My 20 month split twins

So tiny!

Her dad likes to sleep with his hand on his face too!

Having fun with the head lamp

Rocking my girls

More cuddles with dad

I love the post-feeding, so relaxed, like a sack of potatoes, baby

Kisses?

Trying on Carli's snow pants for next winter

She was so sick of being in the house all day one day that Mark was doing anything to keep her amused- even letting her shave him!

Putting her baby on the bilibed!

So precious!

Just chillin in the tanning bed (as we called it)

Our little glow worm! I was so glad to see that thing go so that I could hold my baby! She fussed for a second and you can see that Blue brought her blankie to make her feel better :)



Whew- lots of pics- all in just one week! Wish me luck as I lose my extra set of hands and have to take Carli in for shots this week too :(

I feel ya sista!

Feeling a little like this...



Wish I could be doing more of this...




But, I wouldn't change a thing.

Carli Grace

She is here!

Weighing in at 7 lbs, 7 oz born on 1/11/2011 our little lucky charm has arrived!

Ah the beauty of the epidural- here I am chillin through labor!


She was sooo excited to see baby sister!

...and then all she wanted to do was push all the buttons

I missed her!



We haven't seen those little peepers too much yet...

Has had to be on the light bed for her jaundice :(

And she doesn't like it either!

I think poor Carli is going to get kissed to death in this family!

The proud Dad

So cute and tiny! Just about the most content baby ever


Ready for her first doctor's appt

Our family!



And in case you are wondering... (because I know I was!)

Carli Grace

Eliza Blue

Did I just have twins 20 months apart? I am going to have to be sure to label their baby pictures!

Baby sister

How does 1/11/2011 sound?

Berbert Christmas Party

This year we got together with my brothers and their families on Christmas Eve evening. We had a ton of fun hunting for the pickle on the Christmas tree, acting out the nativity, pinning the nose on he snowman and celebrating Grayson's birthday.

Our little family

Blue loves playing with her cousins

She gets to play with cars and other 'boy' toys at their house!

Waiting patiently for cake?

Yum! She fell asleep singing "Happy Birthday to you!" that night
Check out those adorable cousins all in their pajamas! My oldest bro Mike has all the boys and then Chris has 2 girls and then there is Blue- All 8 under the age of 8, with 2 more on the way in the next 6 months!

We thought they looked so cute all in their pajamas, we had to take a picture, but it sure was a little work!

The older kids started to gather...


The younger kids were wrangled up

I have no idea what the person to my left did to get all the kids to look- apparently it was not smile-worthy though!

The little kids started to wander off...

so some were bribed to sit back down...

But Blue wanted a piece of the action

And her cousin was not having it!

I took probably 20 pics of the process - made me laugh to look through them in order!

Pidcock Family Christmas party

We had the famous Pidcock family Christmas party on Saturday. It was so much fun! Here are some pics...

Blue checking out the tree

The boys with 'Grandma'

and the girls with 'Grandpa' (I am the only one looking at our camera!)

I don't think Blue knew what to expect when she was given a huge present-

but she sure was excited to find a toy inside!

She loved following her cousins around and checking out all their toys/games. In the car on the way home she kept saying "More, more!" I asked her what she wanted more of, and she said "More cousins!"

A lot of the girls

A cute pic of Mark and his bro!
