2 months

Lucy is two months old now, and we're starting to get used to her.

She's just beginning to coo and smile, and that's helping her secure a position in our family. :)

Peter thinks she's pretty cool, but he's gotten over her newness. He often asks where she is if she's been put down for a nap and he wasn't aware. He helps Mama by bringing her Lucy's plug (aka pacifier) when he's found it on the floor and by putting it in Lucy's mouth when she's upset. But he's also taken to commanding her to stop crying. Not so cool.

There have been a big handful of posts today so you may want to scroll down a little and start there.

Cleaning help

These were taken while we were furiously cleaning our old apartment. Peter was helping, mainly by being a good boy and staying out of the way but he also picked up used paper towels and threw them away.

If you're wondering why I say old apartment, well, we moved! This past weekend we moved down the street to a three bedroom apartment. It was 16 degrees and there was still lots of snow on the ground, but we did it. With about 10 or so people, and around 3 hours of work it went pretty well. And much thanks go to my dear friends (and old neighbor) Kaitlyn, for watching the kids, and Emily for making and bringing chili for everyone when we were done.

Airplane adventure

A couple weeks ago Jake took Peter to the airport in Indy to look at airplanes. Peter had his first Happy Meal...

and made a friend. :)

Kelly visits

Aunt Kelly visited before she headed back west.

All tired out after some serious cycle playing with Aunt Kelly.

Back home again

The day after we got back from Evansville it snowed some. Peter played while I unloaded the car. Here you can see everything we brought home with us (babies not pictured).

(The other half we left at my parents house. Kelly brought it the next day.)

I tried getting him to wear my gloves, but he didn't like it so well. He then decided he liked cold finger even less so we went inside shortly after.

The edge of the sidewalk was a little stressing to him that day.

Christmas past

Another hand me down, from many a Christmas ago. Kelly and I wore these bloomers when were just a little bigger than Lucy girl. And Christmas has definitely past, this is the last of the Christmas pictures. I apologize for the delay.

Cars!

He didn't get these for Christmas, these cars grew up with his mama, aunt and uncle. But every chance he got he was asking someone to come play cars with him.

Books!

Peter got lots of cool books this Christmas. But like I said earlier, he mostly enjoyed opening the packages.

Christmas

Peter had a lot of fun opening presents this year. Lucy's experience was a little different.
