Hello! Full day today. 

Had time to take Vivi’s weeks photo. 

That wet spot is milk. Alas. 












Vivian is starting to wake up a bit! Having a good time using her activity mat. But still mostly snoozing. 

Mark loves Vivi. He’s such a sweet big brother. 

Serious business. 

We made these buttermilk rolls from budget bytes. Thanks Aunt Lizzy for telling us about the recipe!

That’s flaked sea salt on top! So fancy. Mark helped with the butter and salt. That’s why he needed mitts. 

So fun! Mark has become a great baker! He really enjoys playing around in the kitchen.  I’m thinking of getting him toddler knives. I saw that on my friend’s Facebook page, but I think I will start him out with a butter knife instead. 

Love,

Betty

Vivian went to see Dr. Weintraub today! She is 8 pounds, 21 inches tall, and her head circumference is 37cm. Dr. W was really impressed with her weight gain. He said, “outstanding!” He’s a little quirky. 

Had shake shack afterwards. Did you know you can order from your phone? What a crazy world. 

Doing lots of tummy time. 

Vivian is really strong! She can roll from her back to her side. 

Mark was a cleaning dervish today! I asked if he took a nap at school. He said yes, can you tell cause I’m happy. Hahah

Short post for now!

Hola! Poor Vivian has been so gassy. Tom is good at getting the gas out- that’s probably too much information, but that is what we are up to all day haha. 

Took a picture of Marks calendar for posterity. We drew a calendar for him to help him get ready for Vivian’s arrival. Mark is doing pretty well. He loves giving Vivian a kiss (via his emissary Mr. P). And he loves his school. He’s really learning a lot! I’m impressed by the changes we see in his language. He will say things like, “actually, mommy....,” or “it should probably be....” He has also really taken to story lines. He can recount whole stories to you. And if you have a story where you got stuck on a train please call us. Those are Mark’s favorite right now. 

Goofing around. 

Baby bear. 


First trip out for a pumpkin spice latte. 

Obligatory stats onesie photo. 

Meeting of the minds. 

Check out this cool elephant from my friend Dora. Vivian is full of gas here. Not enjoying the photos. 

Love,

Betty

September 8, 2018 part 2!

Got tons of photos from Tom. Here they are! Just us girls. Got a new hair dryer. Highly recommend. 

Adventures!

Mark’s getting so tall! We got him some new jackets. 
 

Aquarium fun with grandpa and Tom. 

Mark ate a burger “like an adult” for the first time today. He wanted us to document it so he can show Johnny how to do it LOL. 

Serious business! Love you all!
