My little Big Girl!

Well, today Elizabeth rolled over for the first time so I thought I'd post a few pics of all the other big girl things she's been up to. She's about 3 1/2 months old and is such a joy!

Just like her brothers, Sissy loves playing in her Exersaucer. Today she played for 45 minutes straight and was as happy as a clam!

I didn't have one of these for Aden and it didn't work well with Jonathan's long, skinny body so this is the first baby that I have used this seat with. It works like a charm! Elizabeth loves to sit up and watch her crazy brothers play and I like to put her in the kitchen with me when I'm cooking dinner. She sits on the counter and plays with measuring cups while I cook. It's great!

And she's definitely scooting! She loves to play on her playmat but often times she'll scoot herself right off the mat. In this picture the wall stopped her, but trust me she'll scoot right across the floor if there's nothing to stop her!

Christmas Photo Shoot

The winner!

Dave (Daniel's dad) was so sweet to take pictures of our family for our Christmas card. He did a great job and was super patient with the kids. I posted our favorites as well as a few of the funny "rejects." Enjoy!

Too cute!

"Are we done yet?"

"Aden Thomas Moore, stop being squirrely!"

A little too much enthusiasm with that "Cheese!"

Man, you'd think we were at a funeral with the look on these kids' faces.

Whoops! Watch out for the baby barf!

Oh Jonathan!

Helloooo! The camera is over here kids!

"Jon Jon, get your tongue in your mouth!"

Thanks again Dave! You're awesome!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Smiley Girl


Elizabeth is such a social baby! Her sweet face truly lights up when you interact with her and she's all coos and smiles. Her dimples are my favorite!

By the way, in case you couldn't tell, she is definitely a "brown-eyed girl" and I LOVE it! I've been waiting for a brown-eyed baby! Now I've got one blue-eyed baby, one green-eyed baby, and one brown-eyed baby. What fun!

Who needs a paci when you've got...


YOUR THUMB!





Yep, it's official! We have our very first thumb sucker. She'll take a pacifier once in a while but because she usually sleeps on her tummy (gasp! yeah, she's clearly the third child!) the thumb seems to work better for her. On her tummy she struggles to keep a pacifier in (gravity works against her) and soon finds comfort in her thumb. Daniel and I aren't sure how we feel about this. With our boys we were able to get rid of the pacifier habit by cutting off the pacifier nipple when they were about two years old. Seeing how we can't cut off her thumb we're a little concerned that this will be a harder habit to break. She sure looks cute though!

Also, you'll notice in a couple of pictures that Elizabeth is wearing a sweater! Can you believe it?! We had a big storm come through that gave us about a week of cool and rainy weather. It was so much fun!

Little Rag Doll

My boys both loved to be cradled in my arms snuggled tight against my body. Well, not this girl! This is her position of preference when it comes to being held. I call her my "little rag doll" because she totally sacks out and her limbs just dangle from my arms. Silly girl!

By the way...she had her 2 month check up on Tuesday and she is growing like a weed. She weighed 11 lbs. 4 oz. and was 24.5 inches long. That puts her in the 66% for weight and "off the charts" for height. Looks like we've got another long one on our hands!

Lovin' on his Niece

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Dave's birthday was Sunday and the family all gathered at Grandma's to celebrate. We had a delicious prime rib dinner and Carolyn's homemade rhubarb pie for dessert. Being able to be together for events like this is one of the biggest blessings of life in Kauai!


The boys, along with Uncle Lucas, were in charge of putting the candles in the pie. The smallest tasks bring such joy to these little ones!
