Being the baby in a larger than average family isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There’s that multi-tasking older sister who refuses to give you her undivided attention:
There’s that pesky older brother who won’t stop touching you:
There’s that big brother who thinks just because you aren’t crying you must be comfortable:
There’s that mom who keeps snapping pictures of you and putting your face all over her blog:
And then there is that very weird tradition your family has of making the newest baby in the family “talk”:
Is it any wonder I sleep so much?

Micah and Garin look so much alike! Too cute.
Amanda Sikes says
Isn’t it funny how most people will argue that a problem with large families is that children don’t get enough love and attention! If they just stopped to realize I think it is the exact opposite!!! When I deliver in about 3 weeks, I know this baby will never be put down!!
Love all the pictures! Makes me even more ready to hold my own little guy!
Renee says

Tina says

Garin looks just like you!!!
Fruitful Harvest says
So sweet Amy! Garin is soo cute!
I remember when my last was born, the other 5 could not wait to get their turn to hold “the new baby”.
Peace, Love and Prayers,

This is cute! My parents had to turn the radio on at night so my littlest sister (youngest of eight) could sleep. It was too quiet for her otherwise.
Clara says
