Audrey 2 months

Audrey is 2 months old!

She looks a little annoyed :)... check out those droopy cheeks.

And I have stats from her check up yesterday:
Weight: 11 lbs 1 oz (50%)
Height: 23 1/4 inches (50%)
Head: 38 cm (50%)

Is there anything better than a baby fresh out of the bath?

The second month has been fantastic! Feedings are more consistent (not so painful :)) and faster. Audrey has been a wonderful little night time sleeper. A week ago she started sleeping in her crib in Jack's room. It couldn't have soon enough for Jack. I was a little emotional, having to let her grow up already :), but for the past several nights she been going to bed around 8 or 9pm and sleeping until 3 or 4am and then back down til 7 or 8am (with a few exceptions). Its been VERY nice!

What I get to wake up to :)

Jack had been long anticipating Audrey moving in (asked everyday when she'd be in there) and they are adjusting well to each other. The first few nights when I came in to change/feed her in the middle of the night you could hear Jack's little voice in the dark cooing "oooohh". He LOVES his little Audrey.

Audrey's done a lot of her own cooing lately too. She's getting quite chatty. And my favorite, she starting to make a little giggle.  She's smiling more and more. We are starting to see hints of her little personality.

 Here are a few shots I got of her this afternoon:

Babies bring such a sweetness to a home!

Charlotte is 3!

Well, Charlotte thinks, since its been almost a month since her birthday, she's got to be 3 and a half by now. 

Three has had an amazing effect on what she's willing to try and do. She's always been very autonomous, especially for her age, and quite the helper, but with the addition of the magic line "oh but you are a big 3 year old now", she'll do just about anything for me :)... very handy when you have a demanding baby around.

Charlotte's birthday was full of her "fay-bret" things. First, it was all things PURPLE. Purple breakfast cake in bed, purple crown, purple balloons, purple wrappings, purple cupcakes, purple ice cream cake (boysenberry) . We all even wore purple (or pink if purple was not available).

After breakfast we packed a picnic lunch and headed to the zoo, where we met up with Grandpa Greg, Grandma Debbie, Uncle Sam and even Boz's cousin Katie.

After 2 months of anticipation (and telling everyone), Charlotte got to feed the giraffes! Her favorite animal.

We pooped her out good.

That evening, we were very blessed to have my sister Jennie and her family of 8 come stay with us for the weekend (on their way to Disneyland). Its a good thing too, 'cause we had A LOT of cake.

Charlotte got some awesome gifts.

nutter butters :)

The crown jewel was a play kitchen made by her daddy:

Huge props to Boz for this one. With a newborn in the house and him getting really sick for a week, it really came down to the wire with this one. We were throwing on coats of poly, screwing in hinges, gluing in plexi-glass etc. intermittently during her bday festivities. Right up until the reveal. It was a huge hit!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LITTLE CHUBSTER!!! 

No one can make us giggle like you can!
