I THINK I AM A BETTER MOM THE THIRD TIME AROUND!

I think I am a more typical "new mom" with Crew, than I was with Pyper.  This kid will have his life documented in pictures.  (most of which he will probably hate someday)  I have no records of any of the girls "firsts".  I don't have very many pictures of Pyper as a baby and toddler- and even fewer of Elle.  So now I take it out on Crew.  I have a picture of EVERYTHING!  Including his first bloody lip.  (I'm guessing with a boy this is the first of many)  I really enjoyed my girls as babies, and being a mom- but for some reason I wasn't as fascinated with the whole miracle of it all the way I am with Crew.  Maybe I am older and wiser.  Or maybe I just really like my camera!

I JUST realized the irony of saying that I'm a better mom now- and posting a picture of my baby with a bloody lip!  Go figure.  That's some good parenting!
