Last week we got around to making Alex’s footprints, he was very easy going throughout the whole process. The hospital did not send us home with an ink pad like they did with Brooke, so this time we used washable paint… his toenails are still stained a little blue.
Today is Brooke’s first day of preschool this year. She is in the 2-year-old class now. This year she got to pick out her own lunchbox and backpack (if you can’t tell, she loves airplanes). She was so excited about school last night, that it took her over an hour to fall asleep. We could hear her talking and singing to herself while she lay in bed.
Yesterday it rained all day, so we stayed in for the morning. After Brooke’s nap though we all went outside and splashed around in the rain and puddles. Even Alex came outside with Laura (although they did stay in the cover of the garage). I don’t know if you can tell, but Brooke is really happy to be outside in the rain.

Alex’s umbilical cord fell off 2 days ago, and that means he’s ready for his first bath, which he got yesterday! He did really well with the bath. Laura thinks we have another water baby on our hands.

Alex went to his two week check-up this past Friday. Not only had he gained all the weight back that he lost, he gained an extra 1 lbs 8 oz, for a total weight of 10 lbs 10 oz. He also grew to 22 inches in height.
