Yup. She’s TWO. How do we know? Perhaps the changes of bed sheets the other day before she fell asleep for her nap.  And the change after. Both times she removed her diaper and intentionally went pee. Fabulous. She continues to surprise us every day.  She’s working on potty training. Very casually. Some days she’ll…

Obviously we’ve had our hands full lately. Abby has been deemed a colicky baby.  Katelyn turned two today. Enough said. Here’s a little taste of when things were easier when we had a few extra hands around so we could handle a trip to Half Moon Bay. To a Texan the water was refreshing. To…

A while ago Devin started doing this thing with Katelyn. I’m not sure where he got it but it cracks me up every time. Enjoy.   This picture is from another time when Devin told her he needed to make a phone call. At the time, she was also in the middle of playing peek-a-boo…

We had Abby’s baby blessing August 28—one month after she was born.  My parents were still staying with us and Devin’s brother, Kennon, and mom were able to be there as well.  Her are some pictures from the day she was blessed and a few days later with her in her blessing dress.  My mom…

So I missed one. I didn’t get the 6-week pictures taken. Let’s just say Abby is a bit more difficult than Katelyn was…and Katelyn is a little more difficult that she was. Such is life. Backtrack a bit. Here is Abbers at 4 weeks. And yes, horrible baby acne. Katelyn seemed to have but a…

Katelyn is (one of) our pride and joy. She continually tests our patience but we all have fun as we continue to learn together. The day before Abby’s blessing, while we had what seemed like 1,001 people in our apartment, Katelyn was doing to usual and taking a nap. When she woke up, she was…

I mentioned before that we had professional pictures taken of Abby. She was only six days old. We received the pictures a few weeks ago but I wanted to wait until we got the majority of the announcements out in the mail so we didn’t spoil the cuteness of the announcement. So for those who…

We couldn’t resist.  One setback–The mini muffin pan was $13. So we went for the big one. And the full marshmallows. Not as pretty when you just smear the chocolate on top but we didn’t care. Our take? Delicious! But Mari got it right—you should let some butter splatter on the inside of the microwave…

She’s an eater. She already started gaining weight by day three and at her six-day appointment she was up 4 ounces from her birth weight.   By two weeks she hit eight pounds.  Amazingly, we haven’t supplemented with any formula.  I’m trying to take weekly pictures of Abby for the first 1-2 months and then monthly…

It’s about time I tell a bit of the story. Things have been a bit busy around here. :) Last Wednesday at 12:30am, my parents arrived after a long car drive from Houston.  After getting them settled in, we went back to bed. The next morning (still Wednesday) I continued to spend my time getting…
