Good times at the pediatrician's office

Foolishly, I thought it would be a good idea to take both kids to their "well baby" checkups at the same time. You know, that way we could get it over with in one day, I wouldn't have to get a sitter for one baby while taking the other to get their shots, etc. For all of you with two kids thinking the same thing, let me assure you, it's a dumb move. We spent over two hours in the pediatrician's office and the majority of that time poor Maggie and Drew were mostly naked. They were both good sports...for the most part...until those mean ol' nurses jammed needle after needle into those cute chubby legs. Those visits are tough on babies and mommies alike. I'm happy to report Maggie and Drew are doing well and weighing in at 13 lbs 8oz and 24 lbs 1oz respectively.

A few firsts.

First happy meal. Hold the nuggets and juice. Keep the fries.

First time in the exersaucer.

First breakfast chat between siblings.

What a smile!

Maggie really is such a happy baby now. She always has a ready smile which makes your heart just melt. She coos and talks too. I think she may say her first word before Drew does. Maybe she'll be able to interpret Drew's jibberish for us and we'll finally be able to communicate with him. :)

Bath Time

One of the day's highlights for Drew is taking a bath. Maggie likes it too...she just doesn't like to get out.

Gotta Love the Out-of-Doors!

Drew loves, loves, loves being outside no matter how he feels or what the weather. It was such a cold day and Drew had RSV and an ear infection but he also had major cabin fever (and was driving me nuts). So I bundled him up and let him go for a drive and throw a few leaves around. It made him and me feel better.

Christmas Deja Vu

Christmas 2006


Christmas 2007


I know it is already January but I didn't have time to post these pics in December.

Same outfit. Same hat. Different baby. (No plans to have a 2008 version.)
