A note about password posts

I've been getting a lot of emails and comments about the password for the website. I just wanted to clarify a few things. 99% of the posts on the blog will remain public. I will not be adding a password to any of the normal stuff. I will continue to post updates about the kids and tons of photos! So everyone will be able to continue to follow along just like usual. I have a few issues related to adoption that I wanted to be able to discuss privately with a group of other adoptive moms that follow our blog. I hope this doesn't offend anyone. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any ?'s! Thanks!

Liar, Liar

We are so proud. Taylor told her first lie. And before the age of 2! She is like a baby genius! And here's how it happened. She has a crib tent on her crib (because she started climbing out at 20 mos). The crib tent zips on the outside. She leaves it alone most of the time, but if she reaches through the crib rails and then pulls on it she can unzip it part way. She knows this is a big no-no! Well the other day I went into get it her out of her crib after her nap and the crib tent was tampered with! It was about half unzipped. I said in my best mad mommy voice "Taylor who unzipped the tent?. And she replied "Hansen did it." Hansen(Handsome) is what she calls Coby most of the time. Well thank God for that "little" brother, at least he's good for something!

Mason is with his Daddy!!!

Reading this blog is the most exciting part of my day! Mason looks awesome and totally adorable and it's so great to finally see him where he belongs, in his daddy's arms. And also to see him out of that dress and into some proper boy's clothing! It brings me right back to those first days we had with Chloe and Taylor. It's just so incredible to re-live that through someone else's journey. All those feelings come right back and you feel like you're right there with them!

Ouch!

Coby has just discovered biting! He thinks it's SO funny to bite people. He hasn't tried to bite the girls yet but he loves biting me. I try and correct him, but I can never keep a straight face. He's just so darn cute and he giggles as he's about to bite you! Here he is about to bite my knee.


And here's how he reacts when you tell him "NO!"


Seriously, how I am supposed to get mad at him? It's the cutest thing ever.
