All My Babies

Please meet my 3 babies...Zekie, Isaac and Caleb. No this is not a posed picture...Isaac and Zekie decided that Caleb shouldn't get to have all the fun (and attention) and apparently wanted to remind me that they are still my babies too :) It's true; they are all still in diapers and sucking binkies. A big THANK YOU to all of our family and friends who have helped us take care of our baby boys!

Caleb says HI in all his faux hawk glory.

The BrotherHood Initiation

Zekes and Squeaks couldn't be more pleased to be big brothers. They LOVE to say HI to Caleb and give him "nice touches" which includes soft hugs and kisses from Zekie and firm whacks to the face and head bonks from Isaac. It really is Squeaks rough n tough way of saying I Love You.

Zekie is very good at letting us know that Caleb is "tiny, tiny, tiny." :)

Happy Mother's Day

Caleb's coming home from the hospital tomorrow...I couldn't ask for a better Mother's Day gift :)

Say cheese.

My little froggy.

So serious...

Caleb Nicholas Bachman has Arrived!

Weighing in at a very respectful 6 lbs 13 ounces, Caleb arrived at nearly midnight on May 2nd. He was so excited to get here that he blew a tiny hole in his lungs and ended up in the NICU, but luckily he's recoving quickly and will be out very soon. He's been doing a fabulous job at all his feedings, which is his big ticket out...so things are looking very good. The update on him as of today is that they're hooking him up with some jaundice lights, he's graduated to 3 breastfeedings a day, and they think he may have a tiny heart murmer, but probably not. The heart doc's checking him out and will let us know by tomorrow. He is very sweet, handsome and very curious about this new world we've brought him into. We're soo excited to add another fun little boy to the fam!

Here's Caleb doing what he does best...hopefully it stays that way over the next few months :)

Easter Eggstravaganza

A teaching moment with the Zekes about what and who we REALLY celebrate at Easter.

I love feeding myself!

So I haven't posted anything for quite a while and it's mostly because...WINTER WILL NOT END! Just when you start to see the grass again and get all excited about the 55 degree weather, BAM! Another storm hits and you're back to the 30's and 40's again. In the meanwhile my boys keep growing...especially the one inside me. Here's a shot of Isaac after feeding himself some pasta. You may think that I'm a good mother to let my child get nice and messy as he learns better eye hand coordination, etc. No, no. I would have happily postponed this developement to save myself the major job of cleaning up, but Isaac just won't have it. HE HAS TO FEED HIMSELF. So yes, my independent 1 year old is pleased as you can see...with his clear achievement of manhood.

Isaac's 1st Birthday!

Isaac had a very lovely first birthday amoungst family...complete with a scrumptious dinner, presents (cute clothes), and a delicious chocolate birthday cake made by his gourmet grandma.

Ever since Zekie's birthday in October he's been really into the whole blowing out the candle thing, and was more than happy to help Isaac in the extinquishing dept.

Here he is! The Birthday Boy :) It's been a fabulous year with Isaac Robert...and to prove that he was older and officially more able he took his first steps the night before he turned one. What a big, talented strong boy!
