Sarah's 3 month Pictures

I know I have been slack at blogging, but here are some pictures of Sarah at 3 months. We are having her picture taken every month like we did with Benjamin. Babies change so much the first year, so we want to make sure to not miss it. Sarah did achieve a major milestone tonight. She rolled from her stomach to her back. She had a little smirk on her face like she knew she really accomplished something. It was very cute.

Such a cutie!!

Sarah's 2 month Pictures

I took Sarah to have her 2 month pictures taken today. She did a great job and smiled beautifully. You can see some of my favorites below. I can't believe she is already 2 months old. It is already going by way too fast.

Daddy and Monnie, Pacifiers and Preschool

Benjamin has given Geoff and me new names. He has always called us "dada" and "mama," but we are now "daddy" and "monnie." We are not sure why he doesn't say the second part of mommy with a "m" instead of a "n." We do think it is adorable though.


A couple of weekends ago, we decided it was past time for Benjamin to give up his pacifier. We should have done it a year ago, but I guess we didn't want to deal with it. His lip had a sore on it that would not go away, so we knew we had to get rid of the pacifier. We told Benjamin that Santa Claus was coming to pick up his pacifiers and take them away and that he leave him a present. Benjamin was really excited about getting a present, but I don't think he realized that it meant his pacifiers were gone for good. Considering what we have been through the past couple weeks, Sarah will have her pacifiers taken away a lot sooner than we did Benjamin.


Benjamin started preschool a little over a week ago. I was a little worried about him going to preschool because he hasn't been away from us very much. Consequently, he cried quite a bit on the first day. He still cried the last two times I took him, but he only cried for 2 minutes on Thursday. He has a great time and tells me all about it. He told me on Thursday that he has a girlfriend named Anna. It starts way too soon!!


Sarah is getting so big. She will be 2 months old on Monday and I can't believe it. It is going by way too fast. She has been giving us some big smiles and cooing at us all the time. She is really starting to be so much fun. I would enjoy it if she would sleep more at night, but that will come.

Sarah is 6 weeks old

Benjamin loves to swing really fast in Sarah's swing
Sarah loves to sleep (except at night)

We caught her smiling

I am finally back online after my hard drive crashed. I was thankful to have a husband that is so computer savvy and able to recover my music, documents, most of my e-mails and most importantly, my pictures. I have felt very out of touch without being able to check my e-mails and view my pictures when I wanted to.
I can't believe that Sarah is already 6 weeks old. These past 6 weeks have been a blur, but we are enjoying being the parents of a precious little girl and boy.

We have been home a few days from the hospital with our little Sarah. She is adorable and we are enjoying her very much. I didn't think I could possibly find it in my heart to love another child as much as I love Benjamin, but it is amazing to me how fast I have fallen in love with this little girl. Speaking of Benjamin, he is adjusting very well to Sarah. He wants her with or near him all the time. When she is asleep in another room, he wants to go check on her and give her kisses. He also tells her to get up and come in the room where he is. It is very sweet.

Making Cupcakes








Benjamin loves to watch Jon and Kate Plus 8, so Geoff and I have set up our DVR to record the new episodes. A couple days ago, he asked me to watch "Johnny Kate." We watched the episode in which the sextuplets were celebrating their 4th birthday. They celebrated by going to a hands-on bakery to decorate cupcakes. I think we have now watched that episode 4 times in the last 2 days. Benjamin gets so excited about the little kids decorating cupcakes and wants to do what they are doing. I thought this was a great opportunity for a bribe. We were going to have our picture taken for one last family shot before Sarah gets here and I knew it would be pulling teeth to get Benjamin to cooperate. I told him that if he was a good boy and let us take a family picture, then we would make cupcakes. Well, I am not sure if the photo shoot was a complete success, but he had the best time making and decorating cupcakes.
