We can’t believe our baby girl is already one month old. Her due date was yesterday! She is growing a lot. We can tell because suddenly the newborn clothes fit, and she feels heavier. I’m curious how much she weighs! Here are her one-month pictures… My favorite Whoops, went a little cross-eyed… Precious Haley JTContinue reading “One Month Old!”

So on Saturday I was trying to get a four-week picture of Haley, and she had just eaten and was all dressed and ready to go… but she wanted to suck on something. It turns out, both of our children love their binkies. Avent binkies, too – not any other kind. This is what HaleyContinue reading “Binkies”

When JT was born, we made a date with our friends the Skagens to go to the zoo. Then Jim got walking pneumonia, and we cancelled. Then JT was one, and we thought, we’ll wait until he’s a little older so he enjoys it (even though I love the zoo). For my birthday this year,Continue reading “The Zoo”

Haley is three weeks old today! She had a photo shoot on her new quilt from Sharon that just so happens to exactly match her room. Pretty girl! It was a big week for Haley. She got her first bottle (outside of that first 24 hours in the hospital, that is) from Jim and didContinue reading “Three Weeks Old”

My awesome workout class scheduled a baby shower for me the last week of August. Little did we know that Haley would make her arrival the weekend before! So we rescheduled for this week, and it was so fun to have her attend her own baby shower. We got all dressed up at home beforeContinue reading “Post-Baby Shower”

Since Jim is off for four weeks and I’m home recovering, we’ve had lots of family time lately. We’ve heard a lot about not letting your first child feel neglected because you had a baby… I think we’re doing just fine. JT crawls up in the chair with me while I feed Haley and supervisesContinue reading “Family Time”

Friday was Haley’s first doctor appointment for her two-week checkup. But first… it was a gorgeous day, and we decided to have a picnic lunch on the boat. Since neither Jim nor I can ski right now (read below if you missed that), we sat and stared at the dead calm water and sweated inContinue reading “Two Week Checkup”

Haley didn’t scream at all for her first bath… she must be remembering what it was like to feel cozy warm in the water. JT helped me with the water hose, and she smelled so good after she was done!

I’m pretty much in love with my two kids. (That’s good!) I am soooo very happy to have my family feel complete. I will just do some random updates here, as I brag about two of my favorite people on the planet. Pretty girl! Haley has started sucking on anything she can get ahold of:Continue reading “Mother of Two”

After Jen’s wedding, we got to spend a little more time with Jim’s family from Alabama before they headed home. We spent a beautiful afternoon on Long Lake in the boat. Haley got her first boat ride too! Getting ready to go… RTR! Cousin Taylor, looking pretty! JT and his new “big brother” life jacketContinue reading “Bama Family”
