A picture’s worth a thousand words

I’ve heard they grow fast, but dang…

Audrey had her 1 month doctor’s appointment today, and the doctor said she was “perfect”…I agree. She also got weighed and she is now 10lbs 9ozs. That’s 3 pounds more than her birth weight (and twice as much as Dino weighs)! She’s also started smiling which is so much fun for Andrew and me!  I’ll try to catch a picture of that sometime soon to post.

Here’s a picture of the big girl and her healthy rolls!

Does it get any better than this?

What girl doesn’t love shoes?

I idea of a baby wearing shoes is about as pointless as putting perfume on a pig (at least until they can walk). However, they are SO adorable!!! We have Jill to thank for this cute pair of kicks.

And this picture I just thought was sweet:

Day at the park

On Sunday, we packed up the family and spent several hours at the park. It was a really fun time. We had a picnic, played some bocce, relaxed in the shade, and Dino spent the entire time chasing squirrels and birds (We’re not sure what he thinks he’s going to do with one if he ever catches it, but it’s funny to watch him try).

A picture of the girls just chilling on the blanket:

Dino was so tired from “hunting” all day, that we decided to let him take a ride:

How do they sleep like that?:

More great Discovery Channel Commercials

Does anyone else remember these? These commercials aired on the Discovery Channel years ago, but I think they are hysterical (I think you have to have a somewhat strange sense of humor to laugh at these, but here you go).

My favorite commercial of all time

Okay, so this is a very random thing to post about, but I LOVE this commercial and found myself singing this all morning! I’ll admit that Andrew and I spend WAY too much time watching the Discovery Channel, but they have some really great shows (and great commercials).

5

5 is the number of outfits that Audrey and I went through yesterday (all before noon).  She went through 3 and I went through 2 (with her help of course).  It’s amazing that one little bitty person can add so much laundry to your normal routine!  Good thing she’s cute.

Baby’s first church service

Yesterday we took Audrey to church for the first time. She did really well. She didn’t seem to pay much attention to the sermon, but she didn’t scream through the whole thing either…I call that a successful first church experience.

It was really great to see so many of our friends and get to introduce Audrey to people who have been praying for us and her for a long time now. It made me realize just how blessed Andrew and I are to have such a fabulous church family and be surrounded by people who we can count on to support us, laugh with us, pray for us, encourage us, and keep us accountable.

Here are a couple of pictures of Audrey in her church dress.

Flashback

Did anyone else happen to watch the New Kids On The Block performance on the Today Show yesterday morning? I’ll admit, I was completely enthralled in it. It’s was so strange to see thousands of women screaming, cheering, and acting like they were going to faint at the sight of five thirty-something ex-boy banders (most of whom are now married and have kids). Quite the flashback for those of us that grew up with NKOTB. By the way, it’s been 15 years since their last performance together. Bizarre!

Donnie is still my favorite.
