The Many Faces of Kristen

I’ve been trying to catch a picture of Kristen smiling, but as soon as she sees my phone, she instantly stops.  Of course, when Sammy and Kaitlyn see what I’m doing they try to get in on the action as well, and cause a lot of bumps and shakes of the camera.  Here are some of the pictures I’ve taken the last couple of days.

Kaitlyn had to get in on the action, too.

 

 

Please don’t mind her messy face and play clothes.  Who knew having six kids, and homeschooling four of them, would be so much work?  Ha ha

 

Kristen has some pretty good baby acne going on, and we’re still dealing with the colic.  Thanks to everyone who left comments and emailed suggestions.  We went to the doctor yesterday, and she  said for us to use the Hyland Colic Tablets…now if we can just find them.  Rod went to two stores yesterday with no luck, we’ll try again this evening. 

Everyone is dealing with a cold or allergies or the flu or something.  We are supposed to go to Rod’s parents house tomorrow for a 90th birthday celebration for his Papa Joe.  I’m praying we’ll be well enough to go. 

Rod has to work this Easter.  I can’t believe they are open this year on this important day.  Now HFT is only closed for Christmas day, I don’t understand the reasoning of this decision.  Well, enough of the negativity…we hope you all have a blessed Easter.

One month

Kristen is a month old.

She is smiling.

I think she must have colic, because she spends several hours each day crying and also cries for 2-4 hours in the middle of the night.  The whole family is beginning to feel exhausted, so I’m trying to find tricks to calm a fussy baby.  When Kristen isn’t in a crying spell, she is so calm and sweet.  I pray that we can find a solution soon, and if anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it.
