Someone really loves her little sister.

If you're around them for at least a few minutes, the love that Audrey has for Penny is obvious. Who knew that the littlest big sisters could be so great at it, even at two-years-old?

Love,
Sarah Joy

Oh, am I a little late on these?

Umm, so I guess I am about three months behind on my Audrey updates. I am going to play the newborn card, although Penny is only two months old so I guess I am going to play my I-was-really-pregnant-then card too. ;)

I am not even going to try to remember what Audrey was doing during those different months, but I can tell you what she is up to now & has been learning along the way.

Audrey Love, at twenty-two months:

+ sings the alphabet song, doubling a few letters
+ loves loves loves her baby sister
+ has been introduced to Disney princess & she loves them

What a sweet sweet girl our Audrey is turning out to be.

Love,

One! || Penelope Bliss

Here starts Penny's monthly photos! I made big sister these monthly felt numbers and it was very surreal putting this number one on Penny this past November 7th (her exact one month birthday).

At one month old, Penelope:

+ has become a great nurser
+ besides her feedings, slept through most of the night
+ experienced her first trip to Disneyland & slept through most of it
+ loves the baby carrier and carseat
+ really likes her pacifier (different from big sister Audrey)



She does have her moments now and then, but overall, Penny is a happy baby and we love her to the moon and back and more.

Love,
Sarah Joy

Penny & Audge.

Life with two littles has been so much fun and equally as tiring, even with Chris on paternity leave (such an incredible blessing!), but I think we are all adjusting really well as a family of four. Lots of family time, little trips and figuring out  It feels like yesterday that I was waddling around pregnant & now here we are with a beautiful little two month old!

I still cannot believe that we have two precious girls and that I get to be their mama. They are my blessings, my little miracles.

 

She is here & we are thrilled! 
Penelope Bliss was born on Sunday, October 7, 2012 at 02:07 am weighing in at 6 lbs. 14 oz. and 20.5 inches long via VBAC (story coming soon!). We spent three nights at the hospital due to her strong jaundice & we've had a week at home so far. It's been such a beautiful whirlwind so far and Penelope has just been such a wonderful addition to our family. It is wonderfully surreal to have her here! We love you so so so much Penny!

 

Here's Penelope in our backyard teepee (built by the multi-talented husband) with her big sister Audrey, meeting her cousins Mason, Dylan & Juliet.

This one is from last night. Our good friend Kay (www.onetwosnap.com) took our first "family of four" photos at a nearby pumpkin patch. I love my little family! <3

It had been a long time since I posted on this blog due to alot of fatigue and last minute preparation in my third trimester (good thing we got all the big things ready, right?!) and I have been behind on alot of monthly posts. Although I probably won't post frequently, I plan on being better at updating this little space on the internets.

Love,
Sarah Joy
