Baby Girl Names

So now that we know what kind of baby this is: human: girl.

Inevitably, the discussion of what to name this little girl is brought up.

Bryce has put forth the name of Stevie.

As in Stevie Nicks.

From the 70s.

Oh, and Emma {hi, Shauna!}.

Elizabeth put the names

Samantha

Felicity

Kit

Josephina

and

Kristin

on the table.

Which if you were ever a young girl

or have young girls

or know young girls

you know that these are the exact names of:

The American Girls.

And Spencer, in all his sweet, three year old boy innocence has mentioned on more than one occasion:

Puncher.

So there is the run down {or the low down, depending on where you’re from I guess} about the female naming situation.

It’s a good thing we have a good 20 weeks to come up with something.

Poor, poor little girl.

Hope you’re having a good week and you’re finding some of the Christmas magic.

Or at least glitter all over your house.

{Which I tell myself is kinda the same thing.}

And if you view this post as an invitation to put forth your own ideas for baby #6, by all means…

Christmas Prep and Dec

Today I was asked by two separate people to post pictures of my Christmas decorations.

Because they love to flatter me.

And I love to be flattered.

Because I’m a girl.

And an American.

So here is what my house looks like around Christmas time.

Elizabeth really wanted to hold the chainsaw and Bennett really only wanted one sock on.

My favorite thing this year are the ornaments hanging in the frames.

We actually have two live Christmas trees, one is just a bit more charming than photogenic.

You can it in the doorway.

So, there you go.

{Complete with sad lighting because the sun never shines in the month of December.}

Hope you’re having a good week,
