her this doll for Christmas & she loves playing Mommy...

...and kissing her baby...
...and feeding her baby...
...and changing her baby...
It is the cutest thing ever!!!

She also loves to put all her babies in her school bus...

Baby's First Phone Call Giveaway!

Did you worry about forgetting to call someone once your baby was born? Did you feel bad because your friend found out you had delivered your baby from someone else before you had a chance to call them?? Worry no more!!! With 'Baby's First Phone Call', you can focus all of your attention on your new bundle of joy instead of making numerous phone calls to friends & family. Here is a little bit about how it works:

Baby's First Phone Call is an automated call tree that allows you to notify all of your friends and family of the arrival of your bundle of joy without the hassle of making dozens of individual phone calls, or leaving some friends and family to find out second- or third-hand.

With Baby's First Phone Call, you set up an account before your baby is born—when you still have a moment of time to yourself—and enter the names and phone numbers of all the people you want to notify when the baby arrives. Then, after the baby is born, you make a single phone call and leave a personal voice-mail message of any length with all the details you want to share.

Not only can you tell your friends and family when your little bundle arrived, you can share information such as the hospital and room number you're in and whether and when you'd like to receive visitors.

Our system places calls to each of the phone numbers in your account. If the person answers the phone they hear your happy message. If they don't answer, the message is left on their voicemail or answering machine. In either case, there is an option for them to leave you a return message that you can pick up at your convenience.

It's really that easy! You're doing all the hard work; let us make spreading the good news easy for you.

Use Baby's First Phone Call to notify your book group, your friends from Lamaze class, your co-workers and your extended family. Now you have the perfect way to send a personal message with your joyous news to everyone in your network!

Beautiful Saturday!

UPDATE: We just returned home from Cooper's doctors appointment. He has a viral infection and his throat is blistered. That explains the loss of appetite and lethargic behavior. He said he will probably run fever through tomorrow, but if he runs more after that to call back. I hate to have my babies sick...it is no fun for any of us!!! Thanks for your prayers!

Saturday was beautiful outside & we got out and went for a walk in the wagon! I think the babies are just as ready for Spring as I am! Unfortunately, the warm weather came & went...it's cold again out there today :( C&H don't look too thrilled in these pictures, but they were in the best of moods!!! They love to be outside! After our walk, we went out to the barn where Daddy was organizing and moving things around! They loved watching Daddy on the tractor and would have sat there all day!

Cooper hasn't felt well the past couple of days...he has had a fever since Saturday night...I am hoping it is just the molars he is cutting! Teething is NO FUN!!! But we are going into the dr. this afternoon, just to make sure it is nothing else! Please pray that is all it is and he will be feeling better soon!

Also, I have two exciting giveaways coming up on my blog! I can't tell you how excited I am about them both!!! All you expectant moms out there...be looking for a giveaway just for you in the next day or two!!!

That POUT!

Cooper gets his feelings hurt very easily...and as soon as he does, he pouts by that bottom lip popping out...it is the cutest thing...he already knows how to work his Mommy ;)

Green Bath

I recently read on several blogs about these bath tablets that change your bath water different colors. Since C&H LOVE bathtime so much, I decided to get them some. They had a green bath the other night...the loved it! I can't wait till they are old enough to tell me what color they want each night...that is if there is no arguing over what color!!!

Exploring new things!

Last Friday, C&H and I stayed home all day...I cleaned for the baby shower I was hosting the next morning & they had fun exploring all the changes going on in our house! I love to watch them discover new things, even if we are stuck at home cleaning all day!!!!
They couldn't figure out why all these chairs were in our living room...
...or what these big boxes where doing on our hearth...
...or what this contraption was! Cooper was mesmerized by the vacuum...guess I should pull it out more often, huh???
Thank you Aunt MoMo for our adorable shirts from your Boston trip!!! We look so cute in them!!!
