What's so hard about TWO?

I am babysitting my adorable niece, Leah, today. Right now she and Charlie are both fast asleep. I'm totally ready for another baby, right??!! ;)




But, seriously, any helpful tips for adding baby number 2???? I can't believe he'll be here in just a few weeks!

Oregon Coast!

We recently went to the Oregon Coast for our family vacation this summer. We had a great time and great weather to go along with it. Charlie enjoyed playing in the sand, but wasn't too sure about the waves. When I asked her on the way home what her favorite part of the vacation was she said "the hotel!" I think that is because we got to to swimming every night there and she also had a pretty cool bed (which I forgot to get a picture of). It was two chairs pushed together that made a little crib-like space for her to sleep in. She thought it was pretty cool and every time we mentioned it was time for bed, she made sure she got to sleep in her chairs! I am so glad we had this time to go together as our family of three and enjoy time with one another. I know once baby boy arrives it is going to get more hectic around here!

Fishing

Charlie decided to trade her BINKY for a FISHING POLE (good trade!). This is her first of many fishing trips.

Big Girl Bed

One day Charlie INSISTED on sleeping on the floor for her nap. She was DONE with her crib.


So, we decided it was time to get one of these! She loves her "big girl bed" and said that baby brother could have her crib. Whooo Hoo!!

Leah Marie

My precious Niece, Leah Marie, was born Friday April 23. She was 6 lbs 6 oz and CUTE as can be! I am so excited to be an Auntie to her! Charlie has been talking about all of the things she is going to teach Leah and is willing to share almost everything with her. I hope they become good friends as they get older. Congratulations Nik and Jenn....we love you!

Baby Brother???!!!!!

Yes, it is true. I am going to blame my lack of blogging (and lack of connection to the normal world for that matter) on the fact that I have been SICK. Charlie is going to be getting a baby BROTHER sometime around September 16th! I am currently 15 weeks and starting to feel a bit better. To be honest, the only thing I have wanted to do for the past three months is sleep! Kind of hard to do with a toddler. I am happy to say I am returning to the normal world and am getting excited for this little boy. But really, a BOY?? We are thrilled!!!!

Cousin Love!

Baby Leah is set to arrive next month! I am so excited to meet her and excited for Nik and Jenn. I know Charlie and Leah will have lots of fun together.


Charlie and "her" Piper have lots of fun together. So glad Charlie has some girl cousins close to her age!!

Spring has Sprung!!!

We have been having lots of fun at the park! Charlie asks everyday to go. She loves the slides and has recently discovered that the swings aren't as scary as she thought.
