Summer Zoo Day!

We all went to the zoo yesterday. It was a perfect day. Not only was it perfect weather (low 80s, no humidity), but it was also not at all crowded since most kids are back in school. So, it was lots of fun! Of course Lorelei was barely awake while we were there - but Brooke is really into the animals now.

Brooke's first carousel ride! She LOVED it!

2 months already!

Just a little update. Miss Lorelei went to the doctor today for her 2 month check up. She weighs in at 12 pounds and 12 ounces and 23 inches long. Her weight is about the 88th percentile and her height is about 72nd percentile. She is on the path to being so much bigger than her "big" sister!! Brooke was not at that weight and height even at 3 months old!! But Lorelei is healthy and perfect, and not every baby can be the little peanut like Brooke! I think they will be the same size a lot sooner than later!!

Poor little Lorelei also got 4 shots and an oral vaccine. She didn't take the shots very well. It took her quite a while to calm down...but she did fine and then she passed out for a nap! The doctor says she is doing great and even ahead on some things like holding her head up and rolling over.

Everything else is well for everyone - I go back to work in about 3 more weeks - I am not looking forward to that and am, in fact, trying to pretend it isn't happening! But I knew these good times would end eventually...but I plan to enjoy every second off that I have!

2 MONTHS OLD!!

Proud Big Sister!

Just cute!

All is well here. Lorelei started her first real smiles on August 6th. So, just at 6 weeks old - which is the same time her big sister started smiling too! However, I have yet to be able to capture this on camera - so you will just have to take my word for it!!

I just had a few pictures I thought that I would share...

Every time we leave Lorelei propped up in the chair - Brooke climbs right up in there with here. Sometimes she rubs Lorelei's head or kisses her - but most times she tries to hug Lorelei by laying over her!! So, I think in this picture - Lorelei is thinking - "uh oh! Now what is she going to do!!??"

Just Adorable! (six weeks old)

I propped her up for a few minutes and the angel fell asleep just like that!

Lorelei's 1st Tub Bath!

All has been going well for us. We are doing great getting used to being a family with two daughters! We are keeping busy and I am loving being able to be home with my 2 baby girls!

Lorelei is growing like crazy. She has rolled over from her tummy to her back and even sleeps some 6-hour stretches. And Brooke adores her. She always goes to see why Lorelei is crying and gives her lots of hugs and kisses and even tries to share her food with her!

Lorelei's latest "first" was getting her first "real" bath in the baby tub. She HATED all her little sponge baths...but she seemed to enjoy and relax for this one! She is maturing already!

Chilling out - waiting for the bath to begin!



Enjoying the first tub bath!


Getting all dried off!
