Harper- 4 weeks

Say what? Our little girl is a Hungry Hungry Hippo! Look at how big she is in only two weeks! This idea is officially brilliant for two reasons:

1. It get to document Harp's incredible growth in fab pictures.

2. It makes me do laundry.

I hope you enjoy!!

Love,

Valentine's Day...It's a tough world when you need a baby sitter.

I'm pretty sure professional baby sitters made a killing this past Tuesday, AKA Valentine's Day. I didn't even put feelers out for a possible baby sitter, I knew it wasn't going to happen for this romantic couple (that would be us, if you were momentarily confused there). Plus, having a new baby we weren't really in the mood to make it a big production. Thus, we opted for a romantic family affair which turned out pretty fan-tab-ulous from my point of view! The boys were made a heart shaped pizza by the most important woman in their lives (that would be me, not to be confused with Mrs. Butterworth or Little Debbie). Jonathan and I had a feast of rib-eye steaks and itsy-bitsy tiny lobster tails (thank you Safeway for that timely sale) and to top it off, I made a Red Velvet Cake from scratch. The steaks were phenomenal because that's how Jonathan rolls and the rest was good but the cake was TO DIE FOR. In fact, I'm eating it right now as I type this entry. Good thing I'm still rocking the maternity pants otherwise this would have been disastrous to my waist line.

After our grand meal we watched a little" Charlie Brown, it's Valentine's Day" and sent the boys packing. At that point Jonathan and I watched our new favorite show "The New Girl" and laughed our little hearts out. Over all, it was romance at it's finest. Move over Hollywood, that's what real love looks like :)

Love,

P.S. Here's some photographic evidence of our adventure.

Valentine's 2012- We may have started a tradition. Check back next year to verify.

Thatcher, my sweet little valentine.

Harper's 1st Valentine's Day...Rocking the hearts!

 

Yeah, that's right. My kid eats asparagus. He's a special kind of awesome.

A little romance for the grown-ups after the munchkins went to bed. It's also the only proof that this cake existed because it's just crumbs in my lap now.

He's also normal and eats pizza like every other kid in the world :)

2 Weeks already!

Our little Harpie is already 2 weeks old! She is steadily chunking up like only a Fernandez-Yarsley baby can (we make a sturdy model, what can we say?). Her eyes are staying open more often and for longer periods of time, generally from 1:30 to 6 AM, much to my chagrin. Occasionally we catch a smile while she's asleep and it would absolutely melt your heart if you saw it; BUT could I catch it with the camera? Not a chance. The other day Thatcher said that he loves his sister and that we should keep her and then, concerned he asked if we could keep Coopie too. Cute kid, I think we'll keep them both. Well, today at least.

Anyhoo, I saw this adorable picture thing on pinterest where a lady took a picture of her baby in the same laundry basket to mark it's growth so I'm going to attempt to try to do laundry regularly enough to take pictures of the little lady to mark her growth. I did some laundry today, because it's been about 2 weeks (and we're out of undies) and managed to capture my girl in her own little basket.
