Doorway Jumper

This week we set up the doorway jumper so Audrey had something new to play with.  Max took charge and showed her how to use it.

 It's really fun when you give it a big spin.

Hamming it up for the camera.

"But I'm Not Tired!"

Max doesn't like to sleep.  From the day he was born he fought naps and bedtime tooth and nail.  The nap time routine usually goes something like this: tell him to lay in his bed, give him a kiss on the forehead, walk out of the room, then anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes of him crying and sneaking out of his room before he gives up and goes to bed.

Today started out in the same fashion.  Audrey was being fussy (yes, it has been one of THOSE days) so I took her to our room to settle her down.  Max's cries stopped after a few minutes.  When I went back to his room to make sure he was sleeping and not playing this is what I found.

I imagine he was waiting for me to return so we could go through the part of the routine where I say "Go lay down" 100 times, but fell asleep when I took too long to come back.

One at a Time

I finally accepted that taking photos of them when they are both awake is near impossible.  So I'm going to try waiting till one is asleep and then take photos of the other one.  Today we'll start with Audrey.

I know he needs a nap.  He knows he needs a nap.  Even his bear knows he needs a nap.  But he's going to keep his eyes open with every last bit of energy he has left.

Finally Max is asleep, which naturally means Audrey is wide awake.

This strong little lady now rolls over from her back to her belly.

Mmmm, fingers!

Audrey, Three Months Old

Another month has flown by.  She smiles, giggles, and drools a lot, likes to take baths, holds her head up well, and sleeps through the night (knock on wood).  She's getting close to rolling over, too.  We're looking forward to another month of milestones!

"Everybody look at me and smile!"

Halfway there.  We'll keep working on it.
