Life is wonderful! Thank you God for blessing me with the gift of motherhood.
healthy girl!
Sophia is doing great. She's gained a full pound and grown 1.5 inches since birth!
Oh what a beautiful mornin'
Alexander asked for his rocking horse so he could be Curly with his cowboy hat riding his horse. Can you find the maverick winkin' his eye?
Storytime revisited
one of the first of many ...
Proud Brother
Happy Belated 1st Week
Saturday marked Sophia's first week with us. She's such a wonderful baby and Alexander is such a loving and caring big brother. At the hospital, he serenaded her with "Happy Birthday" and a few other songs while Daddy helped him hold her. At home, we're all still adjusting to a new routine, but we'll get the hang of it soon!
Sophia the Fashionista
Fun trivia: Daddy read somewhere that the No. 1 career choice for "Sophia's is to be a model. Must be true. Check out Sophia the fashionista on her second day at the hospital (thanks to Nurse Dar!).

Had our weekly checkup. We're headed in the right direction, which is to say Olive is since she's moved her head down but not all way. The doctor took a look today and while she's made progress, it looks like we're still a bit away. Or more. Like anyone actually knows. However, we've made it clear that we'd prefer next week over this weekend.
We made the same request of Alexander and we all remember how that turned out.

It's déjà vu all over again
For those of you not in the know, false/practice labor - called Braxton Hicks - is common as you approach the deliver date. Well, Dina got her first taste today. Just a couple of occurrences so far, but from Dina's expressions while they're practice, they clearly feel pretty real. And reminds us we're close!

Had our latest checkup today. All is good with mom and baby. We've done the math and if she follows her brother's schedule we figure we've got about a week and a couple of days. Or not. It's not like we're in charge here.
the dentist
Alexander did great today at his first teeth cleaning. He was particularly excited by the dinosaur he received at the end.
graduated!
Alexander received his certificate last Saturday after finishing his first Spanish class. He's pretty excited. About the sticker he got.
