Some Kid Cuteness

I found this video this morning and couldn't resist sharing!

I'm thinking we need to find some of this talented lady's music to listen to around the house- it's just fun.

Hold My Heart

I just heard this song for the first time today, from one of my favorite bands- Tenth Avenue North- and thought I'd share it here.

It reminded me of exactly how I felt so often when we were going through the infertility and adoption processes, before we found out we were pregnant with Regan.

I'm so thankful that God is merciful and that He will always give us the strength we need to make it through any struggle we face in this life.

It really touched my heart, and made me think of a very special friend who's going through some of that same journey right now.

Love you, Chrissy.

How to Calm the Baby

Give the baby to Daddy so Mommy can take a shower, and she may become upset.

VERY upset.

Have Daddy change the baby's diaper to appease her.

Baby may become very happy and talkative for the duration of the nakedness that ensues.

Until it's time for the jammies.

Baby does not like wearing clothes.

And still wants her Mommy.
(Who is enjoying the first "alone" time she's had all day... in the shower.)

Finally, Daddy hits upon the solution to all of baby's problems!

Lay baby on bed.

Whip out that handy-dandy fancy new cell phone.

Find as many downloads of Blues Traveler as possible.

Crank it up.

Lay cell phone near baby on bed.

Watch as baby suddenly becomes calm, acting as if she has not a care in the world.

Let Mommy finish her shower.

And, all is again right with the world.
