Naptime, 2 week checkup, & The Pumpkin Patch...

Last week was our second week as a family of 4... Things have been going pretty well. Ivy is a great big sister and tries to "help" in any way that she can (and sometimes in ways that she can't!). Monday through Friday of last week both girls took naps at the same time - which gave me time to grab a little sleep too! Things aren't really happening like that this week.

(Julie B. - you'll notice that Ivy "stole" Emily's blanket!!)

Emily turned 2 weeks old last Friday. She didn't have her 2 week checkup until Tuesday of this week. As of Tuesday she was 9 pounds, 10 ounces (90th %), 22 1/4 inches long (above 97th %). She also lost her belly button stump too!

The strawberry patch that is just 3 houses down from us has pumpkins this time of year. They just have them sitting out on pallets but then they also have lots of fun things to look at - old trucks and farm equipment, blow up Halloween things, etc. I decided to try a few Big Sister/Little Sister pics - you'll see how they turned out...

Here's Ivy during her nap after the fun at the pumpkin patch...
