  2. I've been asking myself that every day this summer…how did my boys get so big and they're only 3 & 1. What awesome prizes! Thanks for hosting!

  4. Been waiting for this! Can't wait to see all the blogs that link up! Great prizes btw =)

    Oh yes, every time I tell people BG1 is 6, she quickly corrects me and says "I'm 6 and a half!"…."excuse me!"

    It's crazi how quickly they grow isn't it?!?! Your boys are adorable =)

  6. Swoon! Love this idea, Shell! And yes, I'm going to participate (probably Wed?)

    Beautiful boys…they grow up so fast don't they?

  7. Your babies are soo cute! You should have had a dozen too. I love the chance to show mine off. Thanks for doing this.
    Sandy

  8. Beautiful babies!

    I had to laugh at your comment in Rockin' the Bump about not wanting to stay with babyhood again now that your youngest is 3 and out of diapers. Um, so is mine (he's my only) and I still want another. Does that make me insane?!

    Off to visit other babies and make the baby fever worse…

  10. Love all the photos, but the last one is my favorite. Love how the blue brings out his eyes. Thanks for hosting the linky again this month. It's so fun to see everyone with their kiddos.

  11. Sweet sweet photos.

    There aren't any babies at my house, either.

    You are making me feel very sad about that.

    (if a whole lot of bloggers end up giving birth in about 9 months, I am totally going to say it was your fault because they caught the baby fever from your cute link-ups!)

  12. So adorable! They do grow so fast. Captain B goes to Kindergarten in September and I'm all "He can't go to school, he's still just a little guy!"

    Love that I actually have pictures to link up for this one 🙂

  13. You sure make beautiful babies, Shell 🙂

    Love this linky, will hook up soon!!

  17. Aw, your boys are so cute! =)

    And look at you all fancy with prizes!!

    We need to talk more, I feel like we havent really talked since Blissdom. Unless its because you thought I was a nut job… Which is totally possible. lol

  18. So adorable! This link up is going to give me serious baby fever, I can just see it now.

  19. They're all adorable! And really, HOW do they get so big?!

    Thanks for this link up! My baby fever is in full force now! 😉

  20. First of all, your babies were sooooo cute, soooo cuddable and kissable. And second, great idea with the link up.:-)

  23. They do grow up fast don't they? My oldest is 10yo now and she's quite the young lady. The twin boys are 2 and they are losing the "babyness". Every now and then when they are tired I catch a glipse of it when they melt into my arms half asleep.

  24. Gorgeous boys and another great link up, can't believe how fast the links are filling up already!

  25. OH MY WORD, Shell, your babies are GORGEOUS!!!!!

    I will do this tonight as I'm at work now and my pics are on the pc at home.

  26. No wonder you had 3! They are so sweet! If I were you, I'd just keep having them! ; )

  27. Love these pictures! Especially the first of you snuggling your little baby. So sweet. And now he's 6!

  28. beautiful photos.
    They do grow up fast.. I didn't believe anyone until it started happening to me!

  31. Such sweet faces! It is crazy how fast they grow and despite how cuddly a newborn is, I know I am not ready to have another one! This is the best idea for a link up. I loved Rockin' the Bump, so this will be a great extension.

  32. Look at all the links already! I'm planning to link up on Wednesday.

    Your boys were and are so handsome. You're going to have the girls beating your door down.

  34. They are all so precious! And Cub's eyes are to die for!

    Why do they have to grow up?

  35. Those boys do have the most beautiful eyes! There are all so cute. It makes my uterus ache! I wish we could have more but it just isn't in the cards for us. I know we are good though! 😉

  36. I never realized how fast time moved until I had kids.
    My youngest is 9 mos already! Pregnancy never went this fast…

  37. I love the snuggles in the first one. They just fold up so conveniently in the beginning. 🙂

  38. I can't believe it is July 11th already! I will get my post up tomorrow 🙂

  39. LOVE this, and we are out of town til the 25th and not one single photo of any kind is in this little laptop 🙁
    So I will peruse and be all baby smitten and put the fear of God into my husband that I threaten to have another that at my age would likely have two heads …

  41. I'm going to link up on Wednesday. Lookinf forward to looking at all the cute, wee bebehs!

  44. another amazing link from you…

    and those boys of yours, WOW. They are simply beautiful. *sniff, sniff* Love em!

  45. Love that first picture! Such a sweet moment and any time the momma is in the picture is a good thing- ad we are too often behind the camera.

  46. Great Link up! If I didn't already have a bun in the oven, I would have major baby fever.
    (PS, for some reason the button wasn't working for me, but I do have a few links within the text. I'm not very techy, so I dont know if that counts as a back link)

  47. Those baby pics are super sweet your little ones are freaking adorable =) I know for me looking at all the baby pics brought a flood of tears I miss my baby bug but I love my big bug and all of our fun.

  49. So many pretty babies!

    I can't wait to get my post ready later this week so I can link up.

  50. CUTENESS!! These baby pictures are going to bring out my baby fever even more than usual.

  51. Simply love that first cuddle pic! Thanks so much for putting these link-ups together… it is such fun to see everyone else's and to look through my own 🙂 xoxo

  53. Those posts are melt-my-heart adorable!!! I know, it totally makes your heart ache for those baby days, doesn't it???

  54. Adorable! I do love the first one of both of you. You look so young yourself! And, the black and white is perfect. He looks so cute the way he is laying and his expression.

  55. 3 beautiful boys you have!

    Wow, it's still just the 11th and 58 entries already!

    I'm gettin' to mine right NOW!

  56. They are gorgeous. Love that first one of him cashed out in your lap. I loved it when my children fell asleep on me. Total closeness!

  59. So sweet! They get big too fast, don't they? Baby R corrects you when you call her a baby. "No, I toddler," she says. Sigh…

  62. Such cute boys. I hope to link up, but I'm remote right now with no photos. Leigh

  64. Your babies are adorable! I would love to be able to pop back for 15 to 30 minute intervals – preferably when they're being typically teen.

    Just wanted you to know that I did what I said I was going to do – I did a post around your comment – and linked back to you. Thanks for your sweet words last week! I was so blessed!

  66. awww, the boys are all so sweet…and now I bet they are loud and fast and exhausting! ha!
    I'm going to link up for real this time, no cheating…must find baby pictures of middle child

  68. Sweet photos. I love that first photo of you and your little guy all curled up.

  72. I love your baby pictures. Your boys are so sweet.

    And the first picture is just the pure bliss of motherhood.

  73. Your boys are adorable! Thanks so much for hosting. It has fun to see all the baby. P.S. My husband not so thankful about the baby fever 😉

  76. I didn't realized you were another July 18th baby! It seems there's a few of us on Blogger.

    Shel, you have some adorable boys. They look like super happy kids.

  78. OMG Shell, look at the link ups already! You're an internet sensation lady! And you have beautiful boys! You go girl!

  80. Your babies are completely adorable! Thanks for hosting the baby thing, I didn't have any "bump" pics to share.

  81. Thanks for hosting this. I always welcome an opportunity to show off my babies! lol Your boys are adorable!

  82. Your babies are precious! AND! July 18th is also my birthday…how crazy is that!

    Can't wait to link up this week…now only if I wasn't so busy rocking the baby for reals!

  85. That first picture just melts my heart! There is nothing on earth better than baby snuggles!

  86. Adorable baby pics! Thanks for this link-up. I couldn't participate in Rockin' the Bump cuz I couldn't find a single pic of me PG. I kinda yelled at my huz about that.
    Off to go click on the other links and feast my eyes on baby deliciousness!

  87. Thanks so much for hosting! It always amazes me how the days can seem so long and the years so short. My babies still seem like babies to me, but looking back at the infant pictures was like, "Whoa! I forgot they used to be that teeny." 🙂

  88. Aw sweet! Now I have to go and scan the baby pics…didn't have a digital 10 years ago!

  89. Awwww, such sweet boys. I just don't want mine to grow up sometimes.

    I will definitely participate this weekend! Such a great idea!

  90. Awww I just loooooove all of these pics so much. But I think my favorite is the one of you and your monkey. So sweet 🙂

  91. Your little dudes are so precious! Bear and Cub look A LOT alike! I can't even imagine my little guy heading off to school… but I know it'll be happening in a blink of an eye. Thanks for the link up, girl! 🙂

  92. Finally got home so I could link up. Thanks for the opportunity. It was fun picking out the baby photos.

    Leigh

  94. Such sweet pictures! We had the same exersaucer and it was my favorite Baby Containment Device. Those are the days – when you can strap them in and know they're safe for a few minutes! 😉

  98. Well, I am here with my baby pictures. Better late than never, right?

    Anyway, your babies are so cute. 🙂

  99. You are so right about the 1/2!!! Mine are 5 1/2 and every lil bit counts—your photos are precious. Thanks so much for letting me link up, sorry it took me so long. And my pics are all screwed up. I am a WordPress MORON!

    😉

  101. Love all the baby pics! This is my first link-up…hopefully I did this right! And got in just under the wire! Thanks for hosting it!
