Big sister Ariana and her exhausted parents

Ariana was begging to hold Connor even though he was screaming his head off. I was cracking up because she didn't seem to know what to do, but she would not give him back to me. She held on to him so tightly when I tried to take him, I decided to let her hold him. She patted his leg and just stared at him trying to figure out what to do. It was so funny!
Ariana is such a great helper!
I thought this picture was so cute! I'm sure Connor hates to have his face smooshed like this, but Ariana just loves to give him kisses! She is such a good big sister!
Bryan took this picture of of me one morning before work. It is one of those rare, wonderful moments when I am actually sleeping!FBryan and Connor fell asleep together on the couch and I could not resist taking their picture! Father and son totally peaceful. What a moment!

Our beautiful baby boy

Connor loves to be swaddled. It's a miracle he's actually sleeping in these pictures! Ever since he came back from the hospital, he NEVER lets me put him down. It seems like he always has to be eating and held. It makes housework and everything else almost impossible. Any suggestions?

Here's daddy helping Ariana feed her baby brother. She loves to help. Today, Connor started hollering while I was working in the yard. I went in to wash my hands (shocking) and when I came back out, he had calmed down and she was feeding him a bottle. It was so cute!

No longer a baby

Here is Ariana eating a donut and getting it everywhere. She sure enjoyed it! She's been eating so much better ever since she came back from grandmas house. While we were in the hospital with Connor, she spent 9 days at grandmas house and loved it! Thanks mom!
Ariana fell asleep in the bathtub and we spent 5 minutes taking pictures! I thought this was the funniest thing, but I have been so tired lately that 20 minutes later, after she was in bed, I asked Bryan "Wait, did we give Ariana a bath?" He has been making fun of me for that for days!
I started panicing because I could not find Ariana anywhere. I went through the entire house yelling her name, and then went outside (she has been crawling through the doggy doors to get out) After a minute of calling her, I hear this tiny little "yeah?" coming from the side of the house. It was Ariana, just hanging out in the doghouse! I thought it was so funny, I told her to wait there while I got my camera! While we were in the hospital with Connor, my mom took it upon herself to potty train Ariana. She is a miracle worker, because when we got back, she was using the toilet! Mom, you're my hero!!!!!!!!!! We have not been as lucky since we've been home, but we are still working on it. The other day, I found her running around with no underwear on. When I asked her where her pants were, she led me to a secluded spot in the backyard where I found her wet pants, underwear and socks just laying on the ground. Little stinker!

Ariana loves laying in "mommys chair" with her little horned toad that she got from grandma, and her blanket. This was after her nap and she was still a little out of it.
