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.
