Seven!
Baby is seven! And not really a Baby anymore but still Baby. Which is kind of hard to explain to people who only know us as a family with five kiddos, because Baby is not the Baby. But she once

Six!
So long, five! Baby is six! And yet she’s still Baby. The nickname we never intended on having and yet it’s weird to call her anything else. Now that she’s started kindergarten, she’s starting to go by Vaile. Which is

Five!
Baby is five! Vaile, actually. But she exclusively goes by Baby. Even though she’s no longer a baby or the baby of the family. When we brought her home from the hospital, the older three called her Baby. It stuck.

Two!
Vaile is two! And she still doesn’t know her name. She’s known as Baby and calls herself Baby… I’m wondering how much longer she’ll be okay with this. Either she’ll fight it soon because she’s a big girl or she’ll

One!
Vaile is one! October 7 was the big day. She had no idea… because, she’s one. We celebrated anyway. Normally each kiddos’ birthday is all about them. What they want to do, where they want to eat dinner, what cake

The Addition of Vaile Rae
She’s here, early. And tiny, 4 pounds, 13 ounces. It’s weird looking at her and knowing she should technically still be inside (and she’d fit). What a pregnancy. After having three relatively easy pregnancies (Saige sickness aside) and deliveries, who
