Welcoming Baby Pterodactyl Pineapple Tree

My blog posting has really slowed down for the last little bit, but I’m pleased to announce the reason why is because our family has grown!

In August we got to welcome a baby girl to our crew, and trust me when I say my three little boys have been over the moon for her, and this caboose baby is going to be well loved, and I fear, terribly spoiled all of her days, being both the youngest and the only girl of our kids.

During my whole pregnancy the only name my husband would suggest was Tara, but spelled, Ptera, and short for Pterodactyl, lol.  Since my three year old is obsessed with dinosaurs he was pretty down with that idea, and since she’s been born it’s a nickname that has kind of stuck around with the older crew.

The three year old, who we thought would have held fast and tight to the nickname has instead opted to call little miss Baby Pineapple Tree, and will correct anyone who calls her a different nickname,… nevermind that pineapples grow on bushes.

In any case our little Pineapple Tree is doing fantastic, She is a sweet, snuggly, little thing that none of us can resist.  I’m also happy to report the labor was fairly easy and trouble free and my recovery has been smooth (thank goodness, because I’ve got a full crew at home eager for me in all my many roles).

For now, we’re taking it slow, or at least as slow as we can, and I’m making the most of my camera and my years of learning how to use it, and trying to remind myself that while I finally have a baby that I can dress up in dresses and bows, she’s not a dress up doll… even if she doesn’t seem to mind the endless photoshoots.

Also for the record, I totally paparazzi my baby boys as well, but boy clothing is just so much less fun, both to dress them up in and to photograph, and I can’t deny that all the hair bows and dresses melt me. (I grew up with four sisters and no brothers, so I know girl world well, and have been eager to share it with a daughter for some time.)

Anyway, I’m sure little miss will be making occasional appearances going forward, and my heart is so full having her here safe and sound.
