One of my loves!

She may not have much hair, BUT after lunch, man, she has everything
on her head, BUT hair!

I think I've said before that Lucy is at my favorite stage, and I take that back! 
NOW she's at my favorite stage! 
She is such a character, and always makes me laugh. 
Here she is, doing "the linda". She hunches over, spreads her arms out to the side, 
and runs. It is so funny! 
She is really growing! Every single meal, I think what can I feed this child! 
I feel like the mother bird from that book about the alligator that winds up in her nest. 
I just cannot seem to give this child enough! 

And here she is, with a cookie in her mouth, folding her arms. One of her new tricks. 
She has learned so much, always tries to copy my words, or actions, and is 
more fun then I thought possible! 
Her latest favorite, saying "hi" to everyone! 
Church yesterday was so fun, as she became the self proclaimed greeter!
Oh, how I love this girl!

The latest


Here is our big boy!!! 
9 weeks. All that AND a bag of chips! 
His 2 month apt. today proved that we have tall, good sized, large headed BIG babies. 
He weighs just shy of 13 lbs (which is the 75th %), has grown 2 inches (also 75th%) 
AND has increased his head size by 25% (which puts him in the 90th%) 
We have been loving Charlie!

Tonight while Jeff was over at the new house (a usual for us these days) 
I was with my two healthy, growing, happy children, thinking I do not deserve them! 
Truly! I look at them and think they could have so much more. 
I have to be satisfied with the fact that I can give them ALL my heart, 
and love, and that will need to be good enough. 
They have become my best friends, and need me as well! 
Oh, how I love these two!
And heres a shout out to my hub! 
Jeff is such a great father, and is so sweet to these two. 
Here, he's the mediator between Lucy, who is just about to squish Charlie! 
He is so sweet with them, and really can get Charlie smiling, and Lucy laughing!

Absolutely nothing!

Lucy, "helping" me shell pistachios for 
a Martha Stewart recipe. 
The recipe was not worthy to pass on! 














So I mentioned how silly
 Lucy things it is to have things on her head, and she especially thinks its fantastic when they squish her eyes! 
She was making me laugh so hard!
I had to share!
And Aunt audrey told us about these great window stickers! 
I'm not sure she can do it all by her self, but she loved the idea! 




And here is our sweet boy. 
I cannot believe he is over 8 weeks old! 
He loves to smile, is usually content, 
and is figuring out a good sleep schedule. 
I just can't help but kiss him to death! 
We love you Charlie!

The BALD and the beautiful




Who would not LOVE baby toes? 
Charlie has the cutest ones. They are
very unique. His longest toe is his 
middle toe! (not his big toe). It looks 
so cute, and I'm sure will make him 
all that much better of a soccer player! 





                                               
Here is our bald and beautiful, LUCY!!
She still loves to put anything 
on her body, and her head. 
Here, it is many hours after dinner, 
but insisted on wearing her bib. 
She has been such a joy, and I am loving
 her very curious personality! 
She still loves to dance. The other day, 
we had made a trip to Home Depot, 
and I had let her walk behind me. 
I turned around to find her dancing (its more of a squat)
to the rhythm of one of the trucks backing up! 

  



Charlie is always willing to share a smile!             
                                                  His favorite person to smile at?                                                  
 None other then his dad!!! 
Jeff can get him so smile, 
even after I've tried! 
He's a daddies boy. 
He is SUCH a good baby!
 He loves to be held, which with Lucy doens't  happen as much as it should, and he LOVES his baths! 
We are SO luck to have such a good 
baby, and would not trade him 
for the world!








And last but not least, Lucy giving Charlie kisses!
She really is SO sweet with him. 
Always trying to share her food or drinks or toys.
I am loving these two kids, and feel so lucky to have them!
