Around here...

Things around here have been shaping up quite nicely.
We've been having so much fun getting to know our Abby better. She prefers not to be swaddled, but surrounded by blankets, or arms. Preferably the latter.

She is very much loved by her brother, who we have to watch very carefully. When he wakes up in the morning, he walks into our room and goes straight for the moses basket.

It doesn't matter where she is, he'll find her. (And go right for the eyes. Why, Cooper?)

Growing up, I was usually sharing a room with one of my sisters. Some of the best nights were when everything was funny. We would laugh and laugh, and eventually hear one of my parents get out of bed to come talk to us. Of course, by the time they got there, we would have everything under control, and we would be pretending to sleep. They would always say, "I know you are awake, but go to sleep, and I don't want to hear you again." We would giggle, and then make fun of them when they left. This was all possible, because we would try to take a nap the next day, for which we were severely reprimanded. We were not allowed to take random naps, because that meant we would keep our parents awake all night.

I now understand.

Also, Cooper is learning to brush his teeth.

I said learning..

Also, my sister-in-law Randi took some pictures for us this week. I've seen a few, and I adore them, but I'm waiting to post them until I've seen all, so I don't inundate everyone. They are amazing, and I know I toot her horn all the time, but seriously people, she's amazing.

Thanks Randi.

Twist my arm! Here are two from our shoot...

Love you Randi!
