So we thought Lia had us melted... well, perhaps it's because we're so familiar with babies now, and aren't nervous, or anxious, so we have more time to enjoy...whatever the case, we are just adoring Aurie...her tiny features, curious eyes and funny little expressions while sleeping. She loves to cuddle on daddy's warm chest, and sleeps soundly when laying next to mommy for a nap in the afternoon. (sigh... ) She doesn't care for being changed or anything at all that might be chilly...no baths, thank you. We've noticed her awake times are a little longer every day and she tends to open her eyes to peek around when it's dim (usually after the girls are in bed...now I wonder why...). She's been on two outings so far into the big world...to the bookstore and the neighborhood park and did very well at each. We do attract quite the attention now with Aurie in her carseat on the double stroller, and a girl hanging onto a handle on each side. It's nice to hear ladies share that they had two sisters or their family had three sisters and that they loved it. I already love seeing Ellie and Lia become closer and closer. My heart just melted when the picture of the two of them (from the last post) was on the computer screen, and Lia came over and said, "That's my special friend." How darling is that? Aurie does have some catching up to do...

Easy entertainment (at least, that's my plan :) ...)
Ellie's in a "meeting"...(note the computer, telephone, and clipboard) Yesterday, it was both of them on the bed in Aurie's room doing the same, though Lia was talking on a calculator.
Lia's funny this past week was to ask about daddy's "hostable" bracelet (hospital). She's been really sweet with Aurie, and seems to be the one more interested. You do have to watch her since she's not aware of her hands pushing on the baby to get closer, and tends to offer "guys" that are a bit too big for poor little Aurie. She likes to stroke her hair and touch her hands and feet and keeps me informed... "Mommy, the baby has a burp" or "Mommy, the baby needs some milk".
Ellie's been a puzzle expert lately...
Cuties in neon zebra print...thank you Nana!
Havin' a blast in the backyard...we love getting wet!
