Okay, I thought I’d post some more pictures from Thanksgiving.  I’m not sure how I’m liking this whole picture a day thing.  It’s been KIND of fun.  Yes, Alex DOES have BEAUTIFUL eyes.  They have been unlike ANY of the other girl’s (that I’ve given birth to anyway!)  Sammi’s were so dark when she was a baby, she looked like an alien!  Oh… hey, that gives me an idea…. I think I will post 6 month pictures for all of them… assuming I have any of Sammi at 6 months.  I’ll have to see.  I do have some from around that time.  They may not be the best though.  Okay… here’s what I’m going to do… Shabree at about 6 months old, then Sammi at about 6 months old, then Alex now, at about 6 months old.  They look… so similar I think.  I wish I had pictures where you could REALLY see their eyes, but alas, my camera w/ Shabree wasn’t as good as the one I have now, the good one w/ Sammi had broken and wasn’t replaced yet.  Heck, I’m LUCKY to have 6 month pictures of Sammi… that was right around the time the camera broke, and you can tell in the picture I plan to put up that the shutter wasn’t opening all the way.  Sammi was trying to crawl in her picture.  Shabree is sitting in her chair waiting on her first food in her picture.  SO cute!  So here is Shabree:

Shabree’s eyes were dark too… they turned hazel.  Sammi’s eyes were dark, and turned a gorgeous brown.  Alex has the deep blue eyes, so I have NO idea what color they will turn.  I’m just typing along, waiting for the picture to load.  It’s taking its own sweet time of course.  Ah, there we go… here’s Sammi at 6 months:

I swear, you can hardly tell them apart!  Shabree was SUCH a chunk though.  Becca says you can tell them apart because Shabree had a "fatter head." and "That’s the sad truth."  LOL  Actually though, most of what she went off of was the background, because they DO look SO similar.  Now, here’s Alexandria:

Their chins are so much alike, all three of them.  Hm… looking at this picture, I realize that Alex’s nose is crusty!  She’s had a cold, too, poor baby, though not as bad as me.  I think she’s getting antibodies from me. 

Anyway, that’s the 3 of them… I wasn’t digital when Syd was born, and so don’t have any pictures of here… Kim took them all then anyway.  There’s NOT much similarities between Syd, Bec and these 3.  Syd and Bec look remarkably alike, and I’ve been told that Bec looks like me (much to our amusement, lol)

It’s been a quiet day so far.  Becca stayed home today, so I stuck Sammi with her, and laid down with Alex.  The thing is, I got 4 hours sleep by MYSELF last night (heavenly!) and then another 7 or 8 w/ Alex, which means backache and constant turning over to nurse her… but still, I slept.  I didn’t get up til after 10 this morning when Sammi was banging on her door.  Alex is currently on the couch taking a nap, Sammi’s in her bed, taking a nap, Becca’s in her room… reading most likely, and the other two biked to the library to do their homework there.  NICE and quiet around here, no stress.  It’s wonderful.  I feel like I could go and take a nap… but then, I suspect, I’d be up forever tonight.  That’s hard to say for sure though.  I took a sort of nap at 5:45 last night, and was still able to sleep at 9:30… though admittedly, I DID take some Nyquil, and that helped immensely.  I suspect that’s what caused me to be so groggy this morning.  That, or maybe I just slept poorly once I had the baby.  I simply don’t know.

Okay… I’m going to post.  I can only ramble so much about my boring day, ya know!  LOL…  Boring in a NICE way though.  I wouldn’t trade the quiet for anything.
