Um, that's fine, Daddy. As long as you remember just WHO owns that lapspace and leave some space, I'll try to share with Baby Madeline.

I can hold my baby in the sling too, just like Mommy!

This new baby stuff is easy. All you have to do is hold her and kiss her! Sometimes she cries, and I say "Okay, baby, okay!" Don't I look much bigger alongside her?

Thanks to my friend Jennifer, I have hundreds of teakers at my disposal. Usually I just put them on paper, but sometimes I like to spice things up a bit. Don't I look lovely?

Don't worry, baby. They might not look like they know what their doing, but mommy and daddy will take care of you. And if they don't, I'll step up. I've tucked in many a baby in my day. You're in good hands.

Just giving mom a little crash course in how to care for babies. Remember, mommy, babies need PLENTY of kisses. Also, this picture is from when Mommy and Maddy (or as I like to call her, the Goon) got back from Hospital.

Another close up. Believe it or not, these eyes are dark, dark blue, although they look brown. However, I think it's clear she's stock with daddy's dirty brown hair as opposed to my flowing, golden locks. Poor girl.

Compare mommy to daddy. I think we all know who the wimp is. Wake up, daddy. The baby needs changing!!! Also, take a shower - you stink.

See, mommy, It wasn't that bad. You already look fully recovered. I think I would like twin brothers next week, if you don't mind.

Aunt Sibling and I trying to get baby Madeline to smile. It was a bit tough with all of those blankets.

Just teaching my new baby the ways of the snuggle.

Madeline is always ready for her closeup. This is just after they gave her a bath so she wouldn't be all slimy. Why do they have to make babies so slimy, anyway? Much better, thank you.

Introducing...

My new baby sister, Madeline. Mommy finally got her for me, and I am trying my best to take care of her. After all, she is MY baby.

It took mommy about 9 hours to finally push her out, and mommy wasn't at all loopy afterward; she said it was because she hadn't used any pain medicine. I don't know why she would need it - after all, mommy usually just buys my babies at the store. Now it seems like mommy is hogging my baby all the time. And all baby Madeline does is drink her milk and sleep. Don't worry; I'll show her the ropes soon enough.

Reading "The Poky Little Puppy" to my baby Dorothy. It goes like this: "Puppies. Hole. Fence. Bug. No dinner."

Walking like doggies.

TWO sets of peatails! That second set makes a good pair or reins.

Gallopping around the backyard on the shoulders of my newest and most favorite playmate, Aunt Sibling! (I usually call her Mia).

I got you, Daddy!

A bathing beauty. Nothing to do in this heat but strip down and turn on the hose. It's great for your diaper rash, too.

38 weeks! We made it to full term, Sarah is out of school, and Maria is on the way. It's GO time. Although I'm not too excited about tomorrow's potential birthday, I'm
