Welcome Ariana Rose!

On January 6th Becky & James welcomed Ariana Rose into the world! She was born at 2:47 pm and weighed just 6 lbs 6 ozs and was 20 inches long. We all went down for a visit the following weekend to meet her. She's such an adorable little peanut!

 Sophie LOVES her new cousin. She was so excited to hold her, and kiss her, and hug her... She even brushed her hair, which she has quite a bit of. 

I get to go back down in a few weeks to visit again, and I can't wait! 

Snowy January

This winter has been cold and snowy. We had our coldest day since we've lived in Philly, with a high of just 7! Sophie has done some good sledding, but Lauren definitely prefers being in the warm indoors (just like her mama...). Here they are all bundled up and ready to go outside. 

 Our best mode of transportation on a few days has been the sled... 

Lauren 1 Year Check-Up

Lauren had her year check up just a few days after the new year. She's weighing in a 21 lbs and is 29 inches long. That puts her in 71% for weight the 58% for height. She's still not quite walking, but getting very close. She'll happily walk when someone is holding her hand...but still isn't confident enough to do it on her own. Here's the happy girl standing confidently.
