4 months old

January 23, 2010

Is it just me, or is it really fun to compare pictures of kids at the same age? Memory Lane is an awfully fun street to travel sometimes.

These are all taken when they were each roughly

4 months old.

I loved loved loved C’s hat and was so sad when she outgrew it. (It was made by my Mom, of course.  She really could do well with an etsy account…)

C

D was such a little snuggler.  Kind of like F is now.

D

E has a few pictures from back in the day (all of 18 months ago) where he looks like the rest of our crew here, but most of the photos show how much he really has his own look.  Such a funny little person!

E

F seems to be a little bit of each of his big siblings.  Fiesty at times like C, snuggly like D, interested in everything like E… and -as are all of them- mostly his own self.

Not that I ever compare my kids with each other.  Oh no.  Everyone knows you shouldn’t do that, so I never ever do.

It’s just that when I walk down Memory Lane,

it’s lined with these adorable little houses, all close together and so fun to look at…
C’s is wild and artsie.  New Age architecture meets Victorian princess castle.  Lots of blooming greenery too.  Feminine and fun.
D’s is a nice, solid, red brick house.  Inviting but sturdy.  Think 3rd little pig.
E’s also has a modern edge, but is more metal &… mechanic looking, for lack of a better description.  Like an engineer with an imagination built it to get a better view at the world.  I’m seeing a tower with a telescope.  And a jungle gym in the backyard.
F’s house is still under construction, but I’ll let you know how it turns out.

EDITED:
F currently has a treehouse in a big Eucalyptus tree.  (He’s our “koala bear” because of the way he is constantly grabbing and clinging to us.  So cute.)

    Cute pictures. It’s hard for that NOT to happen when you have such cute kids, though.

    I love the houses analogy! Give those kiddos a squeese from me!

    Darling pictures and I love your thoughts on your kids. You are an incredible mom!

    Perhaps I’m just obtuse (a possibility I’ll be the last to discount), but I’d never noticed the pattern of “C”, “D”, “E”, and “F”. I figure ‘Anita’ is good for “A”, but “John” doesn’t turn into “B” very well… until you make him “Bishop”. :)

    Hahaha, Josh! I hadn’t thought of our Bishop filling that gap. Sweet!

Did you intend for C&D to be so well coordinated with their shirts? Hope you got your recharge time ...
