Abbie's Alphabet

Time Flies!!

I can't believe that it has been almost one month since Ethan was born. I feel awful that I haven't taken more pictures of the little man, but I can't find the time to do basic things around the house, let alone take pictures! He is so handsome and is growing so fast. At his two week appointment, he was supposed to be back up to his birth weight of 8lbs 14 ozs. He weighed in at 10 pounds!!! The doctor said she hadn't seen that good of a weight gain before...she said it was great though. He had also grown an inch.
Things are very different the second time around. Easier in a sense, I guess because I have done it before. But also harder, because now I have a 2 1/2 year old to chase around! Abbie has been doing well though. She loves her brother so much. We have had some jealousy issues...we have also been having "terrible two" issues in general. Everyday is an adventure, that's for sure! But it's the best adventure I have ever had!

The end of a smile...tried to catch it:)

He is finally here! Ethan was born on February 23, at 7:42 PM. He weighed 8 lbs 14 ozs and was 21 inches long. He is absolutely perfect and we are very much enjoying our time at home with him.

Abbie in daddy's office over the weekend. Since it was Saturday afternoon and no one else was in the building, Abbie had fun running around being as loud as she wanted. She got to help daddy run the copy machine and sit at his desk. She didn't want to leave:)

Abbie update

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks...have been busy:)
