Siobhán crawled up the stairs for the first time today. She made it up 8 or 9 steps before tiring out.

Siobhán is here!
Siobhán is the newest addition to our family. She was born yesterday morning, and also happens to be our last baby.
Choo choo
During family scripture study this morning, we each took turns reading a verse. When it was Quillan’s turn, someone would read a word aloud, and he would repeat it. His verse was John 20:28.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
When the person reading said, “Thomas”, however, Quillan said “choo coo” instead.
Ace lost their first tooth
Ace lost their first tooth today. It had become quite loose, and they asked me to remove it for them.
I think they might of been the youngest of the children when losing a first tooth.
Mama’s birth story
Birth of Quillan Max Lamoni Siever 23 April 2012
6 lbs 9 oz, 18.5 inches long
Quillan has been an active boy right from the start. I felt him earlier than any of the others and he literally hasn’t stopped since. Most especially around 11pm every night. Yes, every night. Let’s see how his first time out of the womb proceeds in that regard!
I really wanted our baby to be born as close to May as possible. Preferably in May. But this little guy had a different plan. First, on Saturday, we were at the temple and I have to wonder if this pushed him to come sooner rather than later. I know, not necessarily so, but with Aoibheann, it was similar. I went into labour with her the night after we were at the temple. I don’t know if it is wise for me to go to the temple so close to my due date! These babies get excited about coming asap, or something!
Papa’s birth story
I’m starting to think going to the temple is a labour inducer.
The day Mary went into labour with Aoibheann, she and I had gone to the temple. With Quillan, who was born early yesterday morning, we had gone to the temple the day before (actually, one of the things we did there was have the marriage of my great great grandparents sealed for time and all eternity; they had immigrated to Canada from Austria).
