Cameron propping up on his forearms and elbows for the first time!




Parker and Katelyn smiled for the very first time today while Mama was talking to them. Parker just flat out flirted with Mama over and over and over while cooing and smiling! It was absolutely precious and just melted Mama's heart! It was so refreshing and reaffirmed that everything up until this point has been totally worth it. All the sleep deprivation, making 3 pitchers of formula a day, going through 3, 25 oz. containers of formula per week, 25-30 diapers a day, 2-3 loads of laundry a day, tons of swaddles, burp cloths, blankets, etc., washing bottles over and over and over again, feeding 3 babies 6 times a day, putting them in the bed, floor under the activity gyms, bouncy seats, swings, etc. all day long all while entertaining and feeding Savannah and then trying to get a shower, eat, or even drink some water or Gatorade if you can fit it in! Whew! That makes me tired just typing it out! It is exhausting, and I'm usually totally wiped by about 6:00 p.m., but I wouldn't have it any other way! Just look at these precious faces!
