Hush Little Baby Don't Say a Word

Are you familiar with the lullaby, "Hush Little Baby?" There are lots of different versions to this song, but according to Wikipedia :) what I have below is the most common version:

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat,

And if that billy goat don't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

 

I really like the tune to this song and the swing that Lucy spent a lot of time in from months 2-5 plays this song, so I've become very familiar with it. I wasn't quite sure of the lyrics so looked them up and realized they are very out dated! I decided to make up my own updated, personalized version of this song for Lucy. It's a work in progress, but here's what I have so far:

 

 

Hush little Lucy, don't you cry

Mommy's gonna rock you till your teardrops dry.

 

And when your teardrops are no more,

Mommy's gonna play with you on the floor.

 

And when your floor playtime is done,

Mommy's gonna take you along for a run.

 

And on that run you'll get to see

The flowers and the birds and the sky and the trees.

 

To be continued.....

 

I'm stuck on how to finish the song. I'd like to add a few more verses, so will keep on thinking!



Family Pictures

We had Wiseman family pictures taken the first weekend in November and Ward/Herndon/Wiseman family pictures taken the third weekend in November. I haven't gotten the Wiseman pictures yet, but here are a few of the Ward/Herndon/Wiseman pictures. You can view more of them here.

Pumpkin Butts

Last weekend we went up to Kansas City for family pictures with the Wisemans. We got all sorts of great poses with everyone, individual families, babies, grandkids...I'm really excited to see the pictures. I love pictures!

After the pictures Jennifer and I decided to dress Haddie and Lucy up as pumpkins for a photo opp. Wanda, our mother-in-law, had sent us an email with a picture like this on it asking if we wanted to do this shot...as a joke. Jennifer and I thought it would be fun so we got some paint and painted our babies butts to look like pumpkins! Oh it was so much fun. I'm so glad we did this! The girls were crying the whole time, but we were quick and got our picture!

My sweet little pumpkin butt.

Lucy Lee Wiseman :)

The picture below is so funny to me. This was taken right after Lucy peed on the porch! I love the expression on her face!

 

Then it was bath time after pictures! This was so fun to me - love having this picture and memory. Two cousins, two weeks apart!
