My Twain doll

As I sat embroidering yesterday, I remembered something from my childhood. As a kid, both of my cabbage patch kids were boys: James Bennett(my first born) and Lincoln Sheldon(my preemie). Do you remember your cabbage patch kids' names? And both of my sisters had girl cabbage patch kids.

Interesting, No?

Even before Finn was born, my mom had a hunch that I would have all boys.

Now how did she know that?

I am not sure, but here I am years later, holding my baby boy Twain doll.

And for the most part, he really is a complete doll.

(the boy doll I embroidered was an image from the Black Apple.)

Twain, at 5 months:

You LOVE to be on your tummy and scoot around in circles.

Almost every time I put you on your back, you flip right over. You are rolling around everywhere.

You love to grab your feet

And you love to suck on your hands.

You are pretty laid back, especially when we are on the go, running errands.

You are definitely a thumb sucker. My first baby to really suck his thumb.

And when you suck your thumb it usually means you are about to fall asleep.

Or it means you are hungry. Your very first(and only food) that you eat is mashed bananas.

I am soso happy that you are finally old enough to eat something.

Whenever my boys turn around 4 months old, I start to feel very worn out and overwhelmed from being their only source of food. And so it is always a relief when I can start giving them something to eat.

Things have been pretty hectic around here lately. Time is going by SO fast. I cannot believe Twain is already 5 months old.

This photo below is a bit blurry, as is my life at times, but it's how I want to remember it: Sitting, enjoying my baby as life races by in a blur.

How I love this baby doll!
