Life lately, according to my iPhone

Cousins!

Just a teaser from the weekend. The girls spent some time with Daiane as we prepped for the party!

Eleanor's birth announcement photos

Here are my favorites from our little shoot!

And one that I just love...from my monogram outfit shoot.

EMN - One Month Old

Eleanor is now one month old!  She is a special little nugget.  Still loves to be held in a very particular manner.  She likes to be worn when we are out and about, and does not like to be in the carseat.  She is that baby that cries at stoplights. But she is a great sleeper and is very healthy! And her neck is already pretty strong.  At her one month appointment she weighed in at nearly 10.5 lbs, which is the 90th percentile. She is in the 100th percentile for height. 

At one month, Eleanor also social smiles.  But only if you are in her range of vision. So no smiling for my camera.

She still looks a bit like her sister did at one month.  But with more hair, a larger body, and fewer smiles.  Its okay not to be content when mom forces you to take photos for two days!

Yay for Eleanor.  xoxo

Sisters II (Or, "In the South, we monogram things")

Happy end of summer y'all!

Labor day goings on

Just some fun at the pool to share!  We spent lots of time with family and cousins this weekend and it was fun (and a needed break for me and JN).  Here are the "cheese" faces!

My sweet new girl!  She didn't swim, but did get to lounge about in the arms of a Nana and a "Nanda".

An attempt at some sister shots.  More to come soon!

Rhys turns one!

The weekend before Eleanor arrived, we gathered uptown to celebrate Rhys' first birthday!  He turned one the day after EMN arrived.  He loved opening presents and was a good sport as Caroline commandeered his Cozy Coupe.  She loves that car!  Luckily it lives at the Nanas' so she gets to take it out for a spin on weekends.

Rhys also started walking a bit before his birthday.  So at this point he is pretty mobile and beginning to keep up with his bigger cousins.  Here are a few other photos from that weekend!

Life lately, according to some iPhones

We are getting used to having Eleanor around! Three weeks in and we have survived so far. We lean on local family a lot for support and company, as you will see in the below. 

Two weekends ago Kris (Aunt Sissy) came to visit. It's harder than ever to get photos these days so I didn't capture any shots of her and the girls. Sad. But she did let Caroline help bake brownies. Which was a huge hit. 

Caroline got lots of cousin time this week and had a sleepover at Nana's this weekend. Lucky girl! Here are the rest from recent days. 

Oh and Caroline is learning about taking selfless. Hehe. 

The last few days as a family of three

I am a bit behind on posts, so here is a roundup of our activities before Eleanor arrived.

Last weekend we went to the park to ride the train, but due to the weather the train wasn't running.  So we slid.  Oh and by we, I mean Caroline and Johnny did.  I took pictures.  C sure loves to slide!

Caroline is starting to get the point of the playground.  She still would prefer to be pushed in a swing for 20+ minutes at a time, but did run all around and climb and jump.

Here is a photo of the bunny that lives in our backyard.  SO cute.  I am not sure if he is still there though since we've had some yard work done.  I haven't seen the little fella.
