Just 'cause she's cute

Jeremy is always telling me we need to post more pictures of the two of us because our blog looks like a shrine for our children. I think it would be easier if we were as cute as our kids.

Jilly Comes to Beantown

We were so lucky to have this pretty gal come hang with us for the week.  I know we all enjoyed her company and showing her around. It's always great to have family around! Thanks Jill!

Brooke: 3 Months

(So, I took the usual pictures with her in a onesie with the blanket as the backdrop, but somehow I lost them. I thought I had uploaded the pictures so I deleted them from the memory card. I went to view them later and no pictures were to be found. If only she didn't have a space cadet for a mother... The picture below is of Brooke at three months, we'll just have to make due with what we've got.)

Brooke is such a sweet little thing and such a good sleeper! She smiles and gives full belly laughs and often finds Brin particularly funny.  She isn't the biggest fan of tummy time but loves swatting at her toys. Her newest trick is blowing bubbles, which of course leaves a huge puddle of spit on her chest. Brooke is a joy to have around and we are so blessed to have this little bundle in our family.

Tuckered Out

We just had a fun and busy week and I think everyone was just a little bit tired. Brin even tucked herself in for an earlier-than-usual nap.

  

Her most recent best friend "Ducky".  He's snugglier than you might think. 

Brooke: 2 Months

 Height: 21.25 inches

Weight: 9.69 pounds

We haven't had any cooing yet but we get lots of grinning, especially just after eating. She will often sleep through the night but we do get the occasional 3 am feeding. She has improved her eating skills, but hasn't quite perfected them; we still have to pause several times if I don't want to wear everything she's just put down. She does a great job lifting her head but hates tummy time. Other than that, she is still just "a boring baby" -Dad. I threw in some comparison pics of her and Brin at this age for all of you that keep asking.

We sure love our little Brooke.

Brooke: 1 month

Height: 20 inches

Weight: 9.12 pounds

Brooke has been a great baby, she usually sleeps most the night with one or two feedings. Eating isn't coming quite as easily; she likes sucking in big gulps of air as she goes so we have to stop frequently to get out a burp every couple of minutes. Brin loves having her little Bookie around and stops mid play to rush over and give her a kiss.

An Empire State of Mind

Over Valentine's Day weekend we headed out to see out good friends in New York. It was so much fun to spend time with them and relax. Thank you again Joanne and family!
