16 Weeks

Lydia has reached 16 weeks and is finally letting her mom and dad sleep a little more at night. She's a super happy girl as long as you're not trying to make her nap. She and Evie have had some cute moments recently where they "hold hands."

14 Weeks and Still Not Sleeping

Good thing she's cute, cause she doesn't sleep.

A lot to be thankful for

Lydia made it through her first Thanksgiving and ate just as much turkey as Evie....none. She's 13 weeks old now and time is flying by, especially since we're still not sleeping. Evie is in the midst of "being 2" and everything is hilarious, dramatic or devastating like only a two year old can demonstrate. Playing in the leaves, however, is a favorite these days.

Smiling

Smiles and giggles are the norm now for Lydia, 8 weeks here

Go Philies!

Greg couldn't resist buying Evie a matching hat to his in honor of the Phillies making it to the division series!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Lydia has her new Elmo to play with and Evie a new outdoor playset (thanks to our neighbors for passing it down!)

Lydia Mae Arrives

On Monday, August 30th, 2010 and 8:23 a.m., Evelyn became a big sister. At a substantial 9 lbs and 9.8 ounces, she had a bit of trouble keeping her oxygen up and was admitted to the NICU. Her stay was two days brief before transitioning to the intermediate nursery and 48 hours into the world, her dad and I finally got to hold and love on her. She's got chubby cheeks and dark hair like her big sister did, and seems to have endured all her wires, tests and needle pricking like a champ. We are taking her home today to meet her big sister and can't wait to get to stare at her all the time instead of just visit her in the nursery.
