Crazy about Cucumbers

Anna has recently discovered Veggie Tales. She's not terribly excited about the DVDs yet, but she adores the Bob and Larry toys I got in college--ESPECIALLY Larry! (Actually, I think Larry came from Aunt Rachel, so she deserves special mention here!)





The following are just a few of the situations I have found Larry in lately. The photos are not posed. I just walk into a room, and here is what I find:








And my personal favorite:



Better work on that potty training, Larry. Big cucumbers don't wear diapers.

July 19--2 month pictures

This post is a bit late, but the pictures were taken on time! Sophie is already 2 1/2 months old. Of course, we can't believe it. She continues to be as sweet as can be and is sleeping pretty well most nights. We feel very blessed to have two such wonderful little girls.

All dressed up

We're still working on this sitting up thing. But Anna is doing great with being a big sister. Yesterday she was looking at her own baby pictures with Ben. She kept saying, "That's Sophie's pillow. That's Sophie's shirt," etc. But she doesn't seem to mind sharing.

June 19

One month old already! We can hardly believe it.

We had her one month check up yesterday. She weighs 9 lbs, 8 oz., 21 inches long (roughly 50th percentile for both height and weight) and the doctor says she's doing great. Anna was weighed, too, and she's up to the 25th percentile, and we are thrilled with that! Sophie also slept 5 1/2 hours straight last night, so we're all pretty happy this morning.

Mom and baby doing well. We got to the hospital at 5 am that morning.





Anna is a natural big sister.



We're so happy to have help from Grandma! (Look how content Sophie is. There's no one like Grandma!)




Arriving home from the hospital.



First car ride. (Thanks to the volunteers at the hospital for knitting such sweet hats.)
