Audrey, Two Months Old

It took most of the day to get photos of her awake but here they are!  

Our growing girl is packing on the weight and has some really nice squishy arm and leg rolls.  I love a chubby baby!  Her eye color has lightened a little bit but no big change.  While it's too early to know what color they will be I think it's safe to say that Ross's brown eye gene didn't get passed onto to his kids.  Everyday she smiles more and even lets out little giggles.  

 Ready to go back to sleep.

Peach Picking

It's been a couple weeks since my last post but it's not from lack of pictures to share.  Taking pictures is the easy part, having time to get them off the camera is another.  Two little ones are a handful!

Last weekend we took another trip to the fruit farm (Audrey's first!).  This time we picked peaches for making this year's batch of peach wine.  As usual Max was a really good helper.

Max's job was to gently place the peaches in the box, which is not an easy task.  It's so much more fun to throw them into the box.  

With a little help from dad he even picked a few.

Audrey had the easy job of literally hanging out in the baby carrier.

Taking Care of Little Sister

He's always watching over her.

Bicycling her legs to help her tummy troubles (another one of those things he learned from watching mom).

He loves to give her hugs.

So happy to have a little sister.

Awake!

She finally decided to open her eyes while I had the camera out.

Teddy bears like Cheerios, too.

Fourth of July

We were really looking forward to impressing Max with some of the goodies from the fireworks shop.  We purchased a few things we were sure would produce lots of laughter and big smiles.  After waiting out the rain all day we moved the crew outside, camera in hand, ready to see his little face light up with excitement.

First we started off with mom's all time favorite, the smoke bombs.  He was only mildly entertained.  Even after mom and dad demonstrated how to run through the smoke he was still satisfied watching from a distance.

 Next we tried to kick it up a notch with some ground blooms.  

 Yes Max, that's not another smoke bomb!  This one took him by surprise.  Don't worry, no tears were shed.

Take three: parachutes.  Maybe he'll have more fun with something interactive.  He'll enjoy chasing them as they fall, right?  

Turns out dad had the most fun with this one.

 Max finally did find something entertaining...

...the rain gauge.

Audrey - One Month Old

 It's already been one month!  The time has gone by so quickly.  I would say we have made the transition to a family of four pretty well.  Audrey has made it easy considering she sleeps most of the time.  I was hoping to get photos of her awake, but if she wants to sleep I'm not going to argue with her.

Happy little dreams.
