We have the giggles....

What I should say is that Evelyn has the giggles. Evelyn did her first full belly laugh yesterday!! Daddy was changing her diaper and was making fake farting noises with his mouth... Evelyn thought this was great and let out a huge belly laugh. I was on the phone with my mom and came running into Evelyn's room to hear her laugh for myself... what a great laugh it was. Now it is time to get this laugh on video like we did with Kate. Here is a video of some of Kate's first laughs. Enjoy!!

Bubbles and Smiles...

Evelyn is now a little over 10 weeks and with that comes some wonderful new skills... blowing bubbles and smiling. She actually has been doing both of these things for a little while, but they are definitely more frequent, hence easier to get on film. Check out these skills!!

Snow. Seriously??


We Minnesotans are a hardy bunch, but when snow starts falling on Oct. 10th... our hardiest gets tested!! Kate woke up this morning absolutely elated that it had snowed. I moaned and groaned as I looked outside and she jumped for joy and smiled ear to ear, she was eager to play in the white stuff. After breakfast it was time to drag out the winter clothing... here is Kate all ready for some outside fun in the snow.

You Know Your Baby Has Long Hair When.....

Fall in Minnesota means colorful trees, yummy things to harvest from the garden and of course a chill in the air that prepares you for the upcoming 6 months of snow and below zero weather. Ted and I were giving Evelyn a bath the other night and after she was all cuddly warm in her pajamas we looked at her large mop of wet hair and just knew she would be cold if we didn't get that dry soon. So, out came the blow dryer!!! Yes, I said the blow dryer!! It seemed so unnatural to be blow drying my 9 week old baby girls hair. It only took a couple minutes and luckily she seemed to enjoy it... maybe she too was thinking warm island breezes just like her mommy. Here is a picture of the event, Ted and I laughed a lot at this whole process... actually Evie's hair has brought lots of laughs, it is so darn cute!!
