I'm a Third Born, too.

Our 3rd child is a goofy one.  Moira's 16 months old now.
She loves to makes silly faces.  
She loves to growl.  
She isn't too good at animals sounds.
They mostly all sound like a dinosaur.
She loves to say "Ewww!"
She has more words, too.
Mommy, Daddy, More, Me, "Ready, Set, Go!", Yes, No, 
Shoes, "What Dat?", "All Done..."

She's our little one.  
She can still wear some clothes that are considered 6 month old size.  
Her current placement in the weight percentile chart is at 8%.


She is terrified of the swing, if you try to push her from behind.
But, she thinks it is pleasant & relaxing if she can see you, 
as you push from the front.


She is a dexterous & rather fearless little girl.  
She is a great slider & a climber.
That has pluses & minuses.



She loves to eat.  
She doesn't take a bottle & never has.  
That's a first for us.


Although she loves her food.  She also loves to feed her dogs.  
That blur of motion is her pug dog catching a cookie in the air.




She loves her baby dolls.
She rocks them & kisses them & sings "Rock-A-Bye-Baby".
She loves to snuggle with a baby when she goes to sleep.

I love Moira's silly faces, they make me smile. And I didn't realize she is that tiny!! Wow!

So cute. She and Miriam are a lot alike! Miriam says, "Ready, set, go" all the time too.

Such a cutie! Chloe is a giant (she's wearing mostly 18-24 mo clothes and borrows a lot of the 2T clothes that Jenna was still wearing only a year ago), but other than that, she and Moira seem to have a lot in common. Eating, a mutual aversion to bottles (Chloe has only taken one on a handful of occasions and not without letting us know that she was very displeased with the arrangement); she loves swinging and sliding and I have had several near misses with heart failure thanks to her penchant for climbing on our furniture.
Isn't this the best age for babies? I love them when they're just on the brink of real talking and so ambitious and interactive, but not quite as stubborn and discipline-needy as say, a four year old? ;-)
She's adorable, just like all your kids. And Mrs. Schwager is right - she does look like a perfect photo-meld of you and Scott.

She's so cute! I think she and Peyton look so much alike.
I often tell Jason I feel like I can relate on a completely different level with Kara because I'm 3rd in our family. I seem to "get her" :)

She is sweet!

Our 18-month-old sounds similar - petite, fearless, and tenderhearted.

P.S. Im a Third Born, too (of six).
