The Spittin' Image

For those of you who don't believe me that Andrew looks just like his daddy... here is the proof. They were cuddling the other night, and I couldn't resist snapping this picture.

Funny story: I took Drew into his 2 month check-up last week, and the doctor said jokingly, "Well... I guess we don't need a paternity test, do we?" Speaking of Drew's check-up, he weighed in at 12 lbs. 8 oz.! He's in the 75th percentile in weight, 50th in height (yeah right...), and 95th percentile in head circumference. It's so fun to find out how he's growing. He also had three shots - the poor guy sure wasn't himself for a few days, but is now as good as new!

All About Andrew

Andrew hit the two-month mark this Sunday! He is changing so fast... it's fun to see him react more to us and be aware of his world. We can get him to smile, especially right after he's eaten. His favorite thing, though, is to just lay under a ceiling fan and watch it spin. He can be entertained for hours (okay... minutes)!

Smiling at the fan... and mommy when she stood on the chair (to get the picture) and hit her head on the fan!

Hanging out with Mom and Dad

Our Family

This is something that I don't want to forget, so I thought I'd blog about it. About six or seven months ago (when Sarah started to understand about Andrew) she began doing this cute little thing where she gave each finger on her hand a name. She points the the thumb and says, "That's Baby Andrew," the pointer finger... "That's Sarah," and so on. I don't know where she learned this, but I think it's the cutest!

Fun in the Sun

Today it's rainy, so I thought I would post some of our fun pictures from last week. It was so sunny and gorgeous! We met up with some friends at the park and played and played until Sarah was begging to go home. Usually I can't pull her off the slides and swings, but she really wore herself out.

Emma's mischievous little grin

Sarah's friend and she took turns pushing each other on the swing. Nice break for me!

Emma has loved the swings since she was tiny. She just giggles and giggles the whole time.

Zoo day

Sarah, Andrew, and I were able to go to the zoo again this Saturday with some friends. Emma stayed home with Dennis to get some things done around the house. It was a perfect day... in the mid 60's and sunny. Sarah really loved playing with her new friend, Madison. And I loved just getting out and having some (almost) one on one time with Sarah. It made me realize how fun it is to be able to focus on her! I sure do love that little girl.

It's hard to tell in this picture, but they've got lion cubs at the zoo. They came right up to the window for us.

Sarah by the kangaroo... does anyone know if male kangaroos have pouches too? I was wondering.

Just the two of us

Andrew's reaction the the days events. Or maybe he was telling us what the lion says?

Feet, feet, feet!

I hate feet. I think they're ugly. I think they're gross. I can't stand for someone's feet to touch me. BUT... I love baby feet. Aren't they the cutest things ever? Before they've been contaminated by walking or anything productive. All they've ever done is kick their mommy's tummy!


I love to have Andrew barefoot and just look at his little feet. They are sooo precious!

Mohawk or Miss Cutie?

Okay... I don't want anyone to patronize me. I need the cold, hard truth. What do you think of Emma's hair like this? Is it a mohawk, or does it look cute curled up like that?

I've run out of ideas for her hair. It's getting longer but is still too short for much of anything. It's sooo frustrating that at least once a week she gets called a boy by a stranger. Ugh!

Any ideas? Please be brutally honest. If she looks weird like this then I need to know!
