I know, I know, not everyone is looking at the camera - this is the reality of five kids in the same picture.
Today I (FINALLY) got to meet Sammy, the newest addition to Debbie's family - and oh boy is he adorable. Joey, now four, was amazing (as always) and read me books shortly after my arrival - I was in awe. I can't wait until my little ladies are as communicative as Joey - the house will be a chatter all day. It is crazy to think that the last time I saw Debbie there was only one kid between the two of us, and now there are five!
Debbie and I were originally due just days apart, but Sammy was born at full gestation while my ladies were born almost six weeks early. This would lead you to believe that my ladies would be bigger than Sammy, but that is SO not the case. I thought this picture of Daphne (~18lbs) and Sammy (~24lbs) was a good example of the difference in size.

I think when Kelly and Debbie were trying to feed the girls, the girls were a little distracted by the other kids and adults around them. Needless to say, feeding was a bit more of a challenge than either anticipated when graciously volunteering to feed these ladies. This is why we wear bibs. Regardless, I found it hilarious that all the girls ended up leaning to the right after eating lunch.

My sister made these adorable onesies for the girls. They came in very helpful when meeting new people as Fiona and Stella look so very similar. Of course, instead of preserving these adorable onesies, they managed to get very dirty when wearing them for the first time. Once they were marked by the solid food, we decided to have the girls try a bitter bar which enhanced the mess beyond belief. At least the girls enjoyed the bars and feeding themselves!
What a great day, I got to see the entire family! Thank you Debbie, Andy, Joey and Sammy for sharing your day with us!
Such CUTE custom onesies! I love them so much, I may have to copy that idea! Seriously, I think you could sell them. And it's so much fun to see Debbie, Joey & Sammy- hi via the blog! That picture of the 7 of you is great!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you all already!! What a great visit and so fabulous to meet the ladies. Thanks again to Kelly for letting Joey ask her a million questions and chat her up while Kari and I hung with babies.
