Matthew's Birth Announcement

Baby Matthew 3/3/09 -- 8 pounds 6 ounces -- 21 inches long

Isn't he precious... #5 - Wow. I can't believe he is #5.
His first little outfit. We love PJ's.. I have gotten so used to wearing jammies all day where I have been on bedrest. The kids are getting that way also. We all love PJ's.

Harlee doesn't really know what to think of her new baby brother. Every day I think she is figuring out that he is invading on her space and time with mom. We had to hold her hands down so she wouldn't attack him. She can be so loving.... but she can also be so rough.

Wouldn't this be the life.... Sleep and Eat, sleep and eat....

Dani and Matthew. Dani stayed at the house while we were in the hospital. I don't know what we would do without her. The kids all love her so much. I am sure Matthew will love her too.

Grandma Dye and the PROUD PAPA!! Chris is such a good daddy!

Matthew -- Look at those cheeks! He was our biggest baby, and he was 2 weeks early. I wonder what he would have weighed if I actually would have made it another week.

Grandpa Dye and baby Matthew.

Matthew Roy Lott is born

All of us! Welcome Matthew Roy!
Savannah - She was sick the day Matthew was born. It was really hard for her not to come to the hospital. She started feeling better and was finally able to see him on the 4th.

MaKadey and Harlee. Harlee has cried alot since Baby Matthew has been born.

Poor little Harlee.

Anthony -- Every day he would ask if we were going to go get his baby brother yet. Finally the morning of the 3rd, Chris went in to wake him up and that was the first question; "Did you get my baby brother?". Chris said no, we will in a little bit. Anthony then said, okay wake me up later. He is a good big brother.

MaKadey -- She was such a great help with Harlee and now she is a great helper with Matthew.

Harlee's Birthday

Yummy. Yummy. Yummy! Aunt Desi made her great cheesecake filled cupcakes.
I got really messy! But look at how cute I am.

Aunt Desi is so talented... Harlee's first birthday cake.

When we started singing Happy Birthday, Harlee just started crying. She didn't stop until we let her eat her cupcake. Poor little thing.

Now she is a little happier. Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Harlee is "1"

Sweet Little Harlee! We had to celebrate her first birthday a few days early this year. We celebrated it on March 1st. This is actually one of her birthday outfits from Dani.

Just Chilling at Home with Mom & Dad

While I am on bedrest not much is getting done. We all just kind of hang out and play the WII or read books, rock in the rocking chair or just talk. This has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.

Chris has been such a big help. If I get up for more than anything than going to the bathroom, he yells at me. SIT DOWN WOMAN. He has changed more dirty diapers in the last week then Harlee's whole life. Harlee sure loves her Daddy!

Anthony, Daddy and Harlee... Yes we are all very happy just sitting around do nothing.
