Baby and House Update

It was brought to our attention that we have not posted for some time, and quite a few things have happened.  Bean is almost 2 months old, and he has a great big sister.  Maybe next post will have some fun videos of the two interacting.  I'm sure if LE was writting this post it would go something like this... "I like baby brother most of the time, but he takes my mom away several times a day." When she first saw him she smiled and started playing around.  The first time we gave Bean a bath, LE went wild, and was litteraly bouncing off the walls.  It sure is nice that we aren't going to the NICU any more.  Bean is not crazy fragile anymore, but he is still a newborn so we are being cautious about exposing him to the world.

Lets get to what you really care about, pictures.

The first day at our new house we said LE could run through the sprinklers.  She stripped down and streaked around the house.  I guess we are a classic example of "weird-neighbors-moved-in" phenomenon.

The people before us gave up on yard work, and we didn't start for a bit so our grass in the back got up to a foot and a half long.  This is LE holding up a flower.  You can barely see her.

We had the actual birthday, and a month later, the day we felt that we had a baby.  This is us leaving the hospital about three weeks ago.

We had to get a special car seat to handle babies under 5lbs for the drive home.  To answer your question, no the car seat is the same size as a regular one, the contents are just a bit smaller.

We have pictures of him scrunched in Ry's benie, but he wasn't too happy, so we went with this one.  Ry also has a huge head, so that may throw off the picture.

LE likes being a big sister.  Most of the time she is very soft.

We have learned that the catch position is much better than the hug position (as seen above) for when LE wants to hold Shane.  Don't you like the white shirt and tie?  Ba is opposed to white socks but does that apply if you don't wear pants?

As you can see LE likes to help feed Bean.

Ry has found this new hobbie to hidding Bean in random places like on top of the fridge.

The first time we used the phrase "Go outside and play" LE fell off the monkey bars and sprained her foot.  We happy that she isn't scared to try new things, but that could be bad.
