Big Brothers

Gramma Wilson made "big brother" t-shirts for all the boys and sent them for Christmas. Ryan was thrilled to see his title as "Biggest Brother". Aaron is the "Bigger Brother" and Ethan is a "Big Brother" at last.

Caitlyn...JOY???

Well, one of the reasons I gave her the middle name of Joy is because I was so sure she would have a Joyful heart! It was my mission in life to pray it into her and make sure she was joyful, if there was anything I could do about it, it would be done. You can imagine my dismay when she does nothing but fuss, scream and have a sour look on her face for the first month of her life! I can tell right away she has a short temper, Steve and I have no idea where that came from. This, however, can be trained. But, she cries alot, screams when she goes potty and is just plain unhappy. The good news is I think we have discovered the reasons for her un-joyful-ness (is that a word?). I will spare all the details, but we discovered she is sensitive to dairy products! This is not a big surprise since Aaron was as well. She is also a bit sensitive to all the veggies I am eating, as well as the chocolate. I even buy the chocolate with no milk, come-on, you can't deny a girl her chocolate! We need to have a little woman to woman chat about that one, everything else is do-able. Since taking out all the dairy she is a much happier baby. There are times when she fusses and screams, but she's a baby, they gotta do that a little. I have just succumbed to the fact she is sensitive and I will need to be very careful with what I eat. This isn't difficult for me since I love the area of nutrition and how it affects the body, and, as Steve can attest, my diet is quite bland to begin with. So, here are a few pictures where she is actually happy. They are quite hard to come by, so this is exciting for me! Hopefully we wil have many more of them to come!
