Lauryn is 6 weeks old!

Time is flying by...Lauryn is 6 weeks old today.  She is doing great and growing well.  She had a doctors appt. last week and weighed 10 lbs. and was 21 in.  Lauryn is smiling and trying very hard to coo.  She is such a good, calm baby...thank heavens for that, because the boys are keeping mommy very busy!  Here are some recent pics:

Happy 2nd Birthday Andrew and Matthew!

Andrew and Matthew turned 2 on the 7th...Happy Birthday boys!  With all the excitement lately, we decided to skip the big birthday bash and just have a small family party.  The boys had a great time and, like last year, Matthew enjoyed the cake, and Andrew- not so much!  I have put a slideshow together to the right of the boys' special day.  

Lauryn is 1 month old!

We can't believe it...she turned 1 month old yesterday, and the boys will be 2 tomorrow!  Lauryn went for her well check up on Thursday and is doing great.  After losing some weight after coming home from the hospital, she has caught up and more.  She now weighs 9 lbs, 6 oz (she gained 1 lb and 3 oz in 10 days!), and she is 21.75 in.  We think she is beginning to smile already.  At first I thought it was just coincidental, but she has done it a few times when we talk to her.  Oh, we can't wait for the smiles, coos, and laughs! :)  Everyone is adjusting well, and the boys are doing great with her (esp. Matthew...he's her little body guard).

Please mommy, no more pictures!

Mommy thinks I look like Auntie Shannon here!
