Family Addition

I managed to get a picture of Dada with the kids. Max is obviously Dada's boy - he can't tear his eyes away from the laptop! Poor Dada - he's looking pretty tired, isn't he?

Here is our little angel. I forgot how much newborns sleep - and how often they wake up!

Charlie's stats at birth:
8 lb 14 oz
21" long
14 1/2" head

Stats at her 2 week checkup:
9 lb 6 oz
21 1/2" long
14 3/4" head
The pediatrician's comment: "Well, you have obviously been successful with the breastfeeding!"

Max's birthday party!

We had a party for Max's 2nd birthday this afternoon - yes, just one day before going in to deliver baby girl - so that Max would be able to have a day all to himself.
Here he is, about to enjoy his birthday cupcake:

Max is saying, "Cheese!!" One last photo of the pregnant lady before hatching the baby:

All of the kids enjoyed Max's new play kitchen and accessories... no matter where the birthday boy was at the moment!

A Child of the 21st Century

These pictures were taken at home, but Dada discovered that we could go out as a family for dinner, and when Max is done eating (and at home would typically get down and go play while we finish our meal) we get him set up to watch a cartoon and can have a peaceful meal out together! Yes, it is cheating, but otherwise the closest thing we would have to a meal out is takeout.

How cute is this kid with his huge headphones and pudgy little hands?!?
