Great-Grandma Shirley

Doug's grandma, Shirley was in town this last weekend for her high-school reunion. We got to enjoy an afternoon visit with her. She taught me and Sierra how to bedazzle with crystals. We made some of Lauren's bibs sparkle. It was so much fun I had to get my own bedazzler tool - so did Sierra!
She came bearing a beautiful quilt for Lauren so of course we had a mini photo shoot. I'm so glad Lauren has gifts like these to treasure when she's older. The quilt is gorgeous and will be a family heriloom for sure!

2 Months Old

Lauren turned 2 months old this week! It's so hard to believe how quickly time is passing! She checked out perfectly at the doc. She's 95th percentile for height and 50th for weight. Long and skinny - just like Nathan was. She's smiling regularly now and sleeping up to 7 hours at night! Yay!!! She's growing up and I can hardly stand how cute she is! Here's a few pics from today's photo shoot.

In The Garden

Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying Spring as much as we have been. One of the funnest things we've been doing lately is growing a garden. Well - Daddy and Nathan are growing a garden. Mommy is cheering them on. I don't exactly have a green thumb. They're growing corn, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, eggplant, carrots, peppers, watermelon and canteloupe. Everything is doing really well and so far we've gotten to eat and enjoy squash, zucchini, and peppers. I can't wait to try everything else. I'm so excited about going organic that I think I might just take it to the next level and do the same with my grocery list. We'll see - I'm a cheapskate so that may be wishful thinking. Maybe at least milk and meat.
Here's a few pics of the progress...

Lauren is doing great. She's getting bigger every day and she is so sweet. She is finally giving us a few smiles and coos - music to our ears and eyes! She has moved out of mama and daddy's room into her big girl crib. This is major for us since Nathan was in our room until 6 months. She is sleeping like a champ. She goes for about 5 hours for her first stretch then goes right back down for another 2 or 3 hours. I'm actually pretty well rested for having a newborn in the house. Well - she woke up from her nap. Till next time...

She looks like big brother to me! Excuse the bed head!



Smiling for mama!

Sleeping in her big girl crib! She loves her Miracle Blanket (thanks Aunt Rita and Uncle Justin!)


My babies are the cutest! :-)
