It only took me 2 years to update this.........

Miles meeting Elaine
Miles is 3! Home from the hospital just in time.
Elaine's first bath!!

This blog has been quite neglected to say the least, but my Aunt Cindy and my cousin Emily have re-motivated me!

We had Elaine's 2 week appointment today at she is growing quickly! At birth Elaine weighed 7.12 pounds and was 19 inches long. Today she weighs 8.14 pounds and is 21.5 inches - she's grown 2 1/2 inches!! I am leaning a little towards the initial measurement being on the small side at the hospital, but looking back Miles grew 2 inches the first 2 weeks, too.

Elaine is a fantastic baby and Miles is adjusting really well. Today at nap I put Elaine next to Miles and read them a few stories. Miles didn't listen to the books at all. He kept checking to see if his baby was doing OK and gave her lots of kisses. Very cute, but his nap time routine is a lot easier when Elaine is sleeping ; )

Miles is heading down to Austin tomorrow with my mom and granny. Patrick is going to stop by the store on the way home to get him a digital camera so he can take as many pictures as he likes. He LOVES to take pictures and knows more about a digital camera than most people. I think he's going to be a gadget guy like his daddy!

Yippee! I'm so glad you are blogging too! :) I look forward to reading your posts. That is too cute about Miles not listening to his books at nap - I know he loves his baby sister. Did you get a little package from us yet?
