like deer in the headlights: Drew and Elmo

First thing in the morning...

Belle's Little Happy Face

She is most certainly smiling at us already! We were suspicious a few weeks ago that her smiles were a direct response to our stimuli, but now we are sure. Here's some video of our Sweet Pea...

Drew has developed a crush (video) -- on a picture of a couple girls in a book. Mm hmmm. He approached me yesterday with the book and asked for the 'gulls'. Not entirely sure, I just flipped through to find a picture of a set of twin girls about 8 or 9 smiling at the camera. Sure enough, when I showed him he began to act all goofy as when in love and show off for them by dancing and performing little tricks. And he'll glance over at them here and there to be sure that they are paying attention. Not sure how normal this is but we're going with it! Also a little concerned about what this means for our future, or should we say his future with the ladies.

Life Today

...includes lots of games of 'catch', new words, getting Drew to eat enough, trains, cars, and all-around fun. Of course, there's lots of diapers, swaddling, mess clean-ups and melt-downs to contend with as well. It's a different place around here now!

Grandma Karen (Enlow) just left after five weeks of helping us after the birth of Annabelle. We miss her! We got used to having her near and are sad that she can't always be nearby. She kept us stocked with homemade baked goodies and hugs.

Now, Nene and Papa are here and it's so nice to have them visit! It will be an adjustment for the four of us after everyone goes to be here on our own and see how life really is as parents of two (little) kids. We are of the mindset to simply embrace the chaos since we know that will be our constant state for the next couple of years.

Here's some photos of our Easter together.
