Ben's got his Mama's moves! Look out everyone....

'More than words photography by Tammi' is the photographer that did Ben's 6 month pics, our family pictures, Ben's 1 year pictures, and Charlotte's newborn pics. We are so glad we found her because he style fits our family so well. Here are a few of my favorites!

Peter, Ben and I are excited to announce that we are expanding our family. Baby Buzzy #2 is due August 9th!

(I apologize for the large spotlight washing out her face, but you can still hear her beautiful voice)

We have been busy at the Buzzell house! Ben is talking all day long. I keep meaning to count how many words he has because the Pediatrician asked at his last appointment, but I forget to write them down. Some of the common ones are:

Tucker
Chloe
Raja
Maggie
Mom
Daddy
Baby
Car
Choo-Choo
Keys
More
Please
Thank You
Apple
Pizza
Milk
Cow
Kitty
Doggie
Owl
Poo-Poo
Pee-Pee
Bath
Socks
Shoe(s)
Potty
One
Two
Three

There are so many more that I'm not thinking of right now. He has also started signing with some words which is so cute. The only signs he does right now are "please", "More", and "Thank you"

He loves having his cousin here as evidence by this video:




Charlotte is doing well. She is growing and learning to smile and coo. Amanda found out a couple weeks ago that she has hip dysplasia, which we found out is especially common in first born girls who are breech (she is all of those). It is a mild case, but because she fit into that category they did an ultrasound and found out that her hip sockets are weak and if it isn't corrected now it could lead to troubles walking and need surgery or casts later in life. The orthopedic specialists at DeVos Children's Hospital put her in a harness that keeps her legs in the frog position so that the hips will stay in the joint and get stronger.



Here is another video of our precious Charlotte smiling for her Mommy:

Welcome Charlotte Marie Lindemulder

September 3rd, 2010

We are so excited to have Amanda, Keith, and Baby Charlotte home now. She is such a beautiful baby and is being admired day and night by her loving parents. Amanda is a natural mother and is so patient with her. I often catch Keith walking around outside with Charlotte bundled to his chest just enjoying the outdoors. I am so proud of both of them.




Peter and I are thrilled to be an Aunt and Uncle and try to help with Charlotte whenever we can, whether it be holding her while Mom showers or cooking dinner for the new parents when they are busy tending to the little one.



Ben is IN LOVE with his baby cousin. Whenever she comes up stairs he says "baby" and runs to the gate to see her. He gets really close to her, plays with her toes, and says "hi" in the sweetest voice. It's so funny how even babies talk a little higher to babies.




Ben has such a sweet personality. He is really showing his caring, loving side with Charlotte here:
