Our first daughter Mazzelin (Mazzy) arrived shortly after our one year anniversary and immediately melted our hearts when she entered into this world. Mazzy was born seven weeks early but weighed in at 6lbs. 11oz. and only spent a short time in the NICU before we got to bring her home. Mazzy is our tenderhearted, sweet loving, and perfectionist child. She is so talented in many areas of her life. She absolutely has a great talent for art. She has such an eye for detail and loves to water color all day long. She is the easiest kid and baby I've yet to come across. Mazzy loves to clean and organize anything she comes across, Oakleigh on the other hand is like a walking tornado and will run and hide when it's time to clean up. Mazzy loves to rock climb in our climbing gym and hang on our weight set. she is seriously a little monkey. Mazzelin has so much potential and it is so neat to see her developing so wonderful attributes to her little personality.
Oakleigh Ella is absolutely my little sunshine, right down to her bright white hair and happy smile. She arrived 3 weeks early and weighed 8lbs. 14 oz. Yea she broke my tailbone during delivery. She came into this world breaking things and she still is my most destructive child. She is the proudest 3 year old and loves to show you everything she can do. She is definitely our outgoing little child. She loves to ask a million questions and laugh at everything. Along with her outgoing personality comes her spunk. She keeps us all on our toes and we love it. She is the most affectionate child and will give you hugs and kisses and tell you she loves you all the time. She is such a caring and nurturing child and we couldn't imagine our family without her or her little blanket she can't live without.
Charlotta (Lottie Mae) is the sweetest baby. Never a tear except when you get her dressed for some odd reason. We love her dearly and she is the most precious gift. She truly has a special spirit and we feel so blessed to have her as a member of our family. She was born 4 weeks early and weighed in at 8 lbs. 4 oz. She came into this world a fighter. She had a few struggles when she was born with her blood sugars stabilizing (gestational diabetes) and struggled to take her first breath of life. After those problems cleared she was almost ready to come home but couldn't escape jaundice. She came home on a billi bed and stayed on it a little over a week. She is truly the pride and joy of this family. We all can't get enough of her. Her sisters are so good to her and have been so helpful with her. Her twinkling blue eyes and infectious smile lights up the whole room. She is the greatest little sleeper (thankfully all my kids have slept through night at 3-4 months). I love having three little girls to brighten my life. They are the reason I get up everyday, the reason I want to be the best I can be, the reason I spend their dad's money, and they make me the person I am today. It truly is amazing how much you can learn from these special little spirits. Every night Lamont and I lay in our bed at the end of the day we just laugh at how funny our kids are and smile at how much joy they bring to our lives.
