Pictures from the Summer!

July and some of August!


Brotherly Love:)


Declan's new haircut.


Yup, he's standing unassisted. He's also cruising a bunch! And he has enough hair to get bedhead.


Bottom Tooth!


Top tooth! He's gotten 3 in the last month!


He's cool, yo!


Meaty Thighs!


Birthday Boy!


Bastian dozing off, at Declan's 8th Birthday party.


This was taken by Morgan, the day of the GMA interview.

I was on Good Morning America today - and I missed it:(

It aired today (which marked the third change) and no one told us. I missed it! Those on the West Coast might catch it, though! Here's a link to the article:

Video is up!

It turned out really well, though! They didn't the facts quite right, but did an awfully good job.

Date changed - AGAIN!

We've been moved to Wednesday, July 30th.

Date changed - Good Morning America

We're now going to be on Monday, July 28th. The time remains the same, from 8-8:30am EST.

I'm going to be on Good Morning America!

Today Morgan and I were filmed for a segment for Good Morning America on cross-nursing [nursing someone else's babies]. Morgan is one of the mamas who attended my birth and her son Donovan is there, as well. The segment will air next Tuesday (July 29th), most likely between 8-8:30am, in the second hour of the show. Annie Pleshette-Murphy, who did the segment on Unassisted Childbirth, was the correspondent for this segment – she breastfed her own children, but had some difficulty with it, so it was hard to gauge exactly what her feelings on the topic are.

We both feel the segment went well. Of course, they will be presenting differing opinions on the topic of cross-nursing, but we do feel the interviewers were at least respectful of the topic and asked insightful questions. We hope that the final edit of the clip will be balanced and present cross-nursing as a reasonable, responsible choice.

New Pictures!

This is Bastian, learning how to crawl. He started a bit before he turned 6 months. Now he's a pro!


He discovered his tongue.


He's sitting up really strongly.


This is him nursing on his 6 month birthday. His last shot as an exclusively breastfed baby!


First taste of solids - avocado!


He liked them:)


Brothers!


Playing in a basket of clean diapers. Daddy's making motor sounds and pushing him around.


He's gotten pretty good at feeding himself.


At a cookout, beginning of Summer Party.


And, June...

We're both tired after a day on the boat and swimming.


He's pulling up and cruising now! He has a fascination with clean laundry.


A picture of me, to show off a new haircut!

LOTS of pictures

EDITED 4/25 to fix links and add more pictures!
Bastian turned 5 months on 5/20/08 and weighs nearly 20 pounds and is 27 inches long! Still quite a big baby:)

Me and Bastian, 39 weeks pregnant
