Alex’s First Bottle

Alex got his first bottle today.  He did really well with it.  Oma was here and able to help give him the bottle too.

Brooke & Alex’s Footprints

While we were making Alex’s footprints, we thought we would compare Brooke’s next to his (of course we had to use Brooke’s favorite color for hers, orange).  Brooke was so excited that she kept lifting up her foot and saying “Brooke’s turn!” It turned out pretty neat.

Alex’s Footprints

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.

Brooke’s First Day of Preschool

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.

Splish Splash

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.
