Well we had some portraits made today. He is 6 1/2 weeks old. My how time flies. His personality was really showing thru during the photo session and his photos are so expressive. So I hope you enjoy some of my darling mans photos.





Now I love his little feet and hands and the photos on his tummy. He loved being on his tummy and kept pushing with his feet and almost pushing himself over or on his face but he just kept trying. Seemed to have an attitude of I know that if I just keep trying I will be able to move from here. LOL
I just love my little man.

Okay I never intended to cut her hair this soon. I have never cut Katie's hair. But Arabella's hair kept falling in her face, in her eyes. She looked like a sheep dog with all that hair in her face. I would put it up in ponys, pig tails, clip it back. Well she started taking everything out of her hair. I would tell her no when I would see her try to pull it out, would put it back in when she took it down, but it kept happening and well lets face it I can't follow after her every second of every day to make sure she isn't taking it out. I do have a new baby to care for. So my cousin made a suggestion..."What about bangs?". Bangs I don't want bangs in her hair. I know how hard it was to grow out my bangs when I was very little, because I just didn't like bangs. But one night after I finished feeding the baby, I just had it with her hair. So I got out the scissors and cut bangs in her hair. I have NEVER cut bangs in anyones hair. In fact the only hair I have ever cut has been Cedric's and the boys and I just shave there hair. I think it looks okay even though I see all the places it could be better. Of course, I don't really know how to fix it either. So this is her new look and it has grown on me. I really like it. I think it makes her look a little older, although that could also be because she now has a baby brother and she also just turned 2 on the 28th. I can't believe she is 2. She is a sweetie. She is talking more and more although I am not quite sure of the language she is speaking. Some is english and some is some baby language that only she seems to really know. LOL She loves her baby brother although she also loves to poke at him. She is so different than Katie. She is more quiet & reserve and seems to observe the world. Happy Birthday Bella Boo We love you!

My little man, Noah is now 5 weeks old. I can't believe it!! Where has the time gone?!! He is changing so much. He smiles alot and is just the sweetest thing. So here are a few photos from the last 5 weeks.

One Month Old
Katie aka "little mommy" (so she thinks)

Okay sorry guys that this post is so late in coming but things have been crazy here. Noah David Spencer was born on June 24, 2009 at 12:49pm. He was 8 lbs 7 ozs and 20 inches. Funny story though in the delivery room he weighed 8 lbs 5 ozs, but when they got him to the nursery he was 8lbs 7 ozs and they say that is the official weight. LOL Anyway we both came thru well. He is adorable has a wonderful head of hair. Katie absolutely adores him!! Of course, did anyone doubt that. She wants to be a little mother to him. Arabella loves him and is so sweet to him, but is insecure about his arrival and is just upset with everyone else in the world. Although she is begining to get better with this. All of his brothers adore him too. Arabella hates for him to cry. She runs around saying "crying, crying, baby crying" in her cute little girl voice. Daddy has all of a sudden become "HER" daddy. She understands that she must share me with Noah, but daddy is off limits to the baby. Cedric was able to take off from both jobs at the same time for two weeks. It was nice to have him here during this transition, something that we haven't had before. He went back to work yesterday. I was in the hospital from Wed until Sat and then came home. I enjoyed the bonding time alone with Noah in the hospital but was so glad to be home with my husband and other children. Noah had to be in a bilirubin "blanket" (more like a belt) and pluged in all day except for feedings for a week. We just got him off the blanket yesterday. My aunt nicknamed him "glow worm" since the blanket glowed under his clothes. So it has kind of stuck. LOL Well I need to go feed Noah, he is calling. Here are some photos of our first few days with Noah. Will have to add more later.

Okay my friend KimC. over at Life in a Shoe has been doing this so I finally signed up for it also.  You earn "swagbucks" and them redeem them for prizes.  KimC. is going for a serger.  So go ahead and sign up.  

Okay I know I am late, but I have been busy not to mention very pregnant. So today is the last day to enter so head over there right away and read the directions on how to enter and go enter all these wonderful contests. There are lots of wonderful prizes.

Well I got a call this morning from my ob's office stating that the June 22 was unavailable for my delivery. So it has been scheduled officially now for June 24. Now I hope this doesn't change. As hubby only has a week off from the one job. So Noah will now be born on a Wed.

This is the closest thing to a family photo as I could get. Katie decided it was time for church and was in the van ready to go.















Well here are some bows I made to match the girls dresses. First Katie's...
then Arabella's
Now Arabella wouldn't stand still so I had to hold her, but she had to make a face in every photo. Silly girl.
Of course Katie needs no help. She loves to pose for the camera. Only problem is to get her to be still long enough to snap the picture. She always wants to jump or repose herself. Unfortunately the sun was also a problem as it was shining right in her face.

Well it has been a while since I have updated the blog. January saw two birthdays in our family. Nathan who turned nine and Steven who turned 14. Yes 14! It is hard to believe. In February we had a new addition come into the family (no not the baby) but a big blue 15 passenger van. It is so nice to drive in a vehicle that everyone fits in and with plenty of room to move around in. March 12 Cedric and I celebrated our 15 wedding anniversary.
Well I know that I told everybody I was expecting back in Nov. Well we are having a BOY! We were a little surprised that it was a boy are happy and excited. Since I am having a scheduled c-section our dr set the day today. So our little boy will be born on June 22. We are praying that everything will work our for the best and the baby will have no problems in being born before his due date. Most of my babies have run almost 3 weeks late so for him to be born early worries me a little. Although I am trying to place it in God's hands that he will be healthy and well at birth.
