Photo Update

One morning this week Phoenix totally biffed it running down the (hard wood) hallway. He came to my bedside (I was sleeping) and I was so out of it I tried to console him but didn't notice the blood. He had hit his face pretty bad I guess. He said he hurt his nose and his lip was bleeding. He wouldn't let me look at his tongue or teeth but I assume he bit his lip. Needless to say, he had some mighty fine fat lips (as if his lips aren't big enough!).

This picture is just a snap shot from another day I think. He wasn't in a great mood.

Wow. This is a horrible picture. I am so tired from staying up with Amar'e and trying to crib "train" him! He still sleeps too much during the day and wants to stay up all night. After crying and consoling for hours in the crib, he's poopy, needs burping, or is hungry again...eventually I just end up breastfeeding him out of his misery...and mine! I don't know what it is about my babies! They are AWFUL sleepers. I look pretty bushed in this photo.
They do grow out of it but in the mean time they age me about 5 years, each one. Marcelus and Phoenix are such good sleepers now. They actually ask to go to bed if it gets to be after 8:30 (their bed time is at 8). Phoenix has been volunteering to take naps nowadays much like his nephew Levi used to! Never thought that would happen. So I know Amar'e will end up just fine, but this is going to be one tough year on me physically. Hopefully things get better soon, he's only 6 weeks after all. I am definitely looking old! I am the mother of 3! And boy do they do a number on you. I am preaching to the choir though I'm sure. I'm sure we'll have another one but Shar and I will most likely retire after that unless we have some devine intervention...like my parents did....bwahahahah...4 sounds like a really good number but with the way I feel right now, I'm going to settle on 3 for a couple, you know. By the time I'm 30, I'm going to look and FEEL 40! The boys are SO worth it. This is the main culprit! The little devil snoozing in my bed probably after I was too unconscious to put him back in his crib or chair... Here are some snap shots of Amar'e! I still can't believe how bald he is! It brings out his black features though. So cute!
