Daddy's Little Sunshine...

...is growing like a weed!

Look at those chubby cheeks! She had another well baby checkup yesterday. She is now 4.5 months old and weighs 13 lbs 2 oz and is 25 inches long! She also had her second round of vaccinations. She barely even whimpered and was all smiles again as soon as it was over. She's such a champ!

Also this week:

-We successfully made it through our first full week with the sitter! She's absolutely wonderful with Lady A, and we're so blessed to have her. It makes it much easier to leave her knowing she's so well cared for.
-David, Jess, and Kat came for a visit. Fun family time! Poor Katbird got sick, though, so they had to leave earlier than planned. :(
-The musical bird on Ainslee's playmat quit singing, and she tried for at least 30 minutes to make it sing. Nana came through with a replacement! Check out this happy face as a result:

Fun times!

It's been awhile...

Shew...what a day! Today was Lady A's first day with the sitter. She did great, and I was a train wreck all day! We were both super tired this morning because the teething gremlin visited and replaced my sweet baby girl with a fussy baby who was up several times last night. I also forgot that my car was on E until I got in it this morning, so as Mondays go, this was not my favorite...

Some pics from the past week or so:

Hopefully I won't take so long between posts next time!

Sleepy Saturday

This morning we're all sleepy...

Sleepy Ainslee...

...and sleepy Cinci.

Cinci is living the good life, and poor Ainslee looks like she's busting out of that sleeper, though actually it's a little big.

It's been very hectic the last few weeks, and we are loving this chance to be lazy! When we get motivated, we're going to get up and ready to go to a baby shower to celebrate LaShanda's little man. So exciting!

In the land of Lady A updates, today is her 4-month birthday! I think she may be preteething. She drools all the time and has started gumming everything she can get her little hands on, plus she's been a little fussy and has started rubbing at her jaw. It seems a little early to me, so I guess we'll just wait and see! She is a champ at holding her head steady now, and she loves to sit up and see more of the world now. The bumbo is great for this:

I love watching her play and explore. One of her newest things is tracking Cinci. She loves to watch her run around. She also loves to "sing" with Jeremiah, and I love watching them together. He kept her by himself for the first time this week, which I was nervous about. I think he was a little offended by my nervousness, but they did great!

Lastly, my favorite pic since last time...

Baby date!

Ainslee and Brandt had another baby date, and this time they were both awake! Work has been wild recently, and it was so nice to have mommy dinner/baby date to unwind and enjoy our little ones. I've missed our mommy lunches since we both have returned to work!

Hope everyone enjoys their weekends!
