Show and Tell...Babies!

I love Becky's show and tell link up!  This week, it's on one of my favorite topics....Babies!  So, here we go:

1. Tell us your favorite baby names? Aside from your own babies, if you have some :)

Aside from my own kid's names, I love the names:

Girls:  Kendal, Kennedy, Caroline, Peyton, Madeline, Molly, Harper, Emerson, Ellie, and Lucy

Boys:  Mason, Jackson, James, Dominic, Carter, and Tyler

2. Show me your "dream" nursery {can be your baby's nursery or one that you love}

I love Pottery Barn Kids.  Love it!  My kids bedding came from there and I just think they have the most adorable classic designs.  These are the ones I currently love:

Girls:

3. How many children would you like to have? How far apart?

I have 3 children (2 with us and 1 in Heaven).  I am happy with that amount.  I do not plan to have any more.  My 2 are 22 months apart.  Though it is hard at times, I love it now because they play well together and are best friends.

4. Tell us what you think the importance of parenting is?

I think there are many important things about parenting.  First and foremost, I believe it is most important to raise my kids to love and serve God and be good people who help others.  I believe it is important to teach good morals and values, teach them to love others, and always do their best. 

5. Show us your favorite newborn photo {can be your children or random}

Favorites of Paxton:

6.  Tell us some things you promise to never do as a parent {and if you are a parent, did you stick to it}

 I promise to always be supportive of their dreams.  I think so far, I've stuck with it, though my kids are still very young.  Despite my dream of my daughter taking dance and/or gymnastics....she wants to play soccer and though I know NOTHING about soccer, I totally support her. 

I promise never to let my kids cry themselves to sleep as a baby.  I know plenty of parents who do this and I'm not here to judge.  I don't care what others do; however, I could not do it.  I did not care how many times they woke up (ok, I cared), Chris and I would take turns rocking them and calming them down and sometimes....even driving them around. 

Link up with Becky and share your thoughts on Babies :)
