Dear Arden, While out on a walk the other night we ran into a neighbor we hadn't seen since you were born. He was congratulating us and we told him you were almost six weeks old. Wait, what?? Seriously? Already?! I know someday I'm going to look back and miss your tiny little infant days, but for right now I'm enjoying watching you grow. Every day is something new and I know it's only going to keep getting better as you get older. I'm going to keep this short since we're pretty busy ...
Twins?

First Month Favorites
After almost six weeks of life with a newborn, there are a few things that I know we could not live without.

And judging by Chris' face when he takes the bag out--there are some serious smells going ...

Sunday we were feeling brave and decided to take you to church. ...
Arden: One Month!
I love that Hazel's paws made it into the shot. She takes her babysitting duties very seriously :) Length: 22.75 inches Weight: 8lbs 7oz Head Circumference: 14.5 inches Milestones This Month: You SMILE. At least once a day we can get a few gummy grins out of you...and it's pretty much the best thing ever. It just amazes me that even teeny tiny newborns can imitate what we do. You can follow a toy from side to side with your eyes. Of course, it took Babycenter ...
