Apple Butter Fest...

Not much really "happens" in Lubbock but when it does we make every effort to get Sophie to any event. We drove to Idalou to go apple picking and boy was this a fun experience for her. The day turned out to be HOT but we made the most of our two hour ordeal.



Sophie LOVED picking the apples and found so many she would say "there's a good one" to almost ANY apple. We could have ended up with dozens of apples [even the gross mushed ones on the ground] had we not said NO. It was great watching her though and Charlie just slept the entire stroller ride around. Sophie even attempted to feed the goats...they had eaten all day though and weren't exactly interested in being force fed, so we just pet them instead.







Oh and here's a picture [the only picture] I got at the BubbleFest last weekend. Sophie kinda woke up on the wrong side of the bed so she couldn't decide if we were staying or going. Needless to say, picture taking wasn't a happening thing. Little toot!



More to come soon! Love.

Three Weeks...

Charlie will be three weeks old tonight and already she seems huge compared to when she was born. Her two week checkup confirmed she is growing rapidly, gaining a pound and an inch. Having had to take her blood sugar level so often in the hospital, Charlie is a pro at giving blood and didn't even cry when the nurse pricked her heel for the PKU test, again. Tough chick!



She's awake more during the day looking around at all her surroundings and big sister, of course. She's even a talker...already! She sleeps pretty good during the night hours sometimes even letting me get an extra hour of sleep in!! [Sweet child!!] Her hair is still pretty blond but in certain lighting looks almost strawberry-blond like her sister. Only time will tell what color it will actually be!





She HATES hiccups and gets super frustrated when she gets them, usually 2-3 times a day. AND...she turned over on the couch for the first time yesterday. Probably an accident but we'll record it anyways! HA!



Sophie is adapting as good as expected with the new arrival. She, of course, is super sensitive and might be a little jealous not getting ALL the attention. She is still super sweet and LOVES to give Charlie kisses and dance with her. Sophie talks to her and tries to teach her anything and everything she knows. I think time will develop an inseparable bond between these two girls.





So finally...PICTURES!!! Sorry it took me so long, I really anticipated having more time...[yeah right!!].

Have a great weekend!! Love, love, love.
