1 Month Checkup

Yesterday Pierce went in for his one month checkup.  He weighed in at 11lbs 12oz, almost 3 pounds heavier than he was at birth!  He measured 22 1/2 inches long, which puts him in the 85% percentile for length and 95% for weight.  However, his head measurement is only in the 45% percentile.  He measures the exact same as his big brother, looks like I got another chubbers.

Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter!  After attending church, we we went over to Valley Forge to take some family photos and do an Easter Egg hunt for Drake.  The little Easter outfits Mary got Drake and Pierce were so cute!  Sadly, Pierce spent the entire time screaming so you won't see any pics of his cute outfit, but Drake was just fine modeling his for us.  

The egg hunt consisted of Johnny putting an egg on the ground right in front of Drake, other wise he got a little side tracked and wanted to pick up (and eat) sticks, and Drake putting it into his bucket.  He didn't care much for this odd tradition, but appreciated the candy that the eggs contained.   








Visit from Mary

It was so nice to have a visit from Mary for a few days.  She helped so much with entertaining Drake and rocking and cuddling Pierce (not to mention changing lots of diapers).  I think they grew to love her more than me!

3 weeks old


I can't believe three weeks have already gone by.  I guess thats what happens when you don't sleep - everything becomes a blur and you lose track of the day and time.  Pierce is a happy baby, as long as he is eating, next to a warm body, or sleeping.  However, if he is awake and not doing one of the three, he gets fussy.   Its okay though, cause when he does get fussy Drake rushes to his aid, trying to force a pacifier into his mouth or whack him on the head with a toy car (I'm not sure why he thinks that would make him happy?).  Drake is doing a good job of keeping me on my toes, making sure he isn't allowed to do either if the little guy starts to cry. 

 A hundred times a day I think to myself, how do women do this and maintain their sanity?  Luckily I have a wonderful husband, cause thats the only way I know I'll be able to do it...

Here are some pictures of my babies.

Drake Update

Here are some pictures from our walk the other day.  Even though there's a new baby in the house, Drake is still my favorite photo subject (obviously).  


He loves collecting sticks along the river
and looking for cars and doggies
He insisted on pushing the stroller
And found a love for the taste and texture of tree bark
