I'm converted.

Well people, it has finally happened. It only took 4 children to get me here but I've finally come 'round.

I like babies.

There. I've said it and I'm not going back. I finally got a baby that doesn't have reflux. Only moderate colic (lasted through about 9 weeks). She is 3 1/2 months now. She sleeps in her crib for naps- not my arms. She smiles; she plays; she gains weight; she only wakes up 2 times at night. It's heavenly. So, while I've had my roughest recovery. (Broken tailbone- still hurting) Every time I look at that dear, sweet child I can't help but smile. She is beautiful and lovable and pure joy. NOW, I understand why people like babies and want to just have babies. When I'm holding her, it's just to hold her and have fun; not working to keep her from crying and fussing. Imagine that- holding a baby for the fun of it. It is an amazing concept.
I finally get what all the fuss is about!
Now- admire:

Lanie is adorable! She would convert anyone to babies :). I'm so glad she's waking up less at night than your other little ones.

SWEETNESS! I am so happy for you. And i also feel kind of bad because I have had good babies and I still wasn't converted. What is wrong with me? Maybe this new one will do it! ;)

Also, I just feel in love with Asher's first day of school pic. I haven't seen pix of him on a long time--what a sweet face! So cute! All the kids are adorable--so fun to see your family growing, even from a thousand miles away! :)
