Charlie's photo shoot

Maddie and Abbey were fantastic this weekend about helping get Charlie's 1 year photos. (Technically 1 1/2 year old photos. Nice and late, just like Lucy's).
Charlie is usually a bubbly, happy go-lucky guy...but as soon as all attention was on him for the pictures, he clammed right up!  Luckily we squeezed some smiles out.  He was rather demanding-"Abbey wee oooo wee ooo" (he liked it when Abbey made the ambulance noises for his smiles).
Here's what his expression was the majority of the time (when he wasn't in tears):


But, Maddie scored some good ones too! :)




Lucy's Lingo

Way too often, Lucy says some things that have us cracking up (or shaking our heads).  I'm trying to get some of them down in writing so I don't forget!

On our way home from dinner, Lucy went on and on about calling me by my "other" name (Kerry).  We had a discussion that she needs to be calling me Mom.  She let it drop, but never really confirmed that she was on board.

Fast forward 30 minutes-I knocked on Lucy's door to start pajama time:
Mom: knock knock
Lucy: who's there?
Mom: It's Mom.
Lucy: What's your other name?
Mom:  Mother.
Lucy: No, what's your other name like Isaac?
Mom: Momma.
Lucy: Come on in Kerry.
Mom: Sigh.
