Adorable!

Here's Aubree out playing on her swingset the other day.  She looked super cute in this dress!



Here Aubree is showing Jada all of the cool things she can do on the activity mat!  Aubree was really excited to see it again and asked about her favorite parts...the blue circle with a dog and cat and a yellow circle with a duck and frog.  I forget exactly how she asked for them, but it was pretty funny that she could remember them!  Hopefully Jada will enjoy it as much as Aubree did!


Jada snoozing on Daddy's chest!  Adorable!


Sometimes Aubree needs double comfort and opts for two paci's at once!  She was mostly just showing off for the camera here as you can see by her "smile" face (eyes closed tightly)!

The same, but different

Some of Jada and Aubree's newborn pictures. It's kind of fun to see them side by side. I think if you cover up Jada's curls, they're kind of close.

Ah... they are both asleep!

Our girl looks nothing like either of us. Luckily she looks enough like Aubree that we're not going to sue the doctor who did our invitro.




So, how's it going? Well, two is definitely diferent. Aubree has been fantastic! She loves her sister. She goes looking for her every time we lay Jada down to sleep. (In other words, she keeps Jada from sleeping whenever possible.) She also seems pretty cool with the amount of time I am devoting to her kid sister. Once in awhile we see a little jealousy, but so far she has been a sweetheart. She tries to comfort Jada when she cries. She pats her on the back and says "It's okay, baby Jada. It's okay!" It is stinking adorable. Aubree has started crying a lot more because I think she sees how well it's working for her sis. So far, friends, we're holding up. Mommy is tired and missing time with Aubree. All Jada wants to do is eat! Chris is tired of... well, Chris is just tired. Today we thought we'd accomplished something major by managing to all have gotten baths/ showers before noon.
