Grandma and Grandpa's visit

Grandma and Grandpa came out last weekend to meet Elsie! We had a great time!









Sophie went to a birthday party for her friend, Emma, at the Norman splashpad. She had a great time (and got soaking wet!!!)

We have a little Elmo potty for Sophie, but she hasn't actually done any of her business in it yet. We aren't really trying very hard right now to potty train because of adding Elsie to our family, but we like to sit her on it every now and then. Plus, it makes for really cute pictures!

What are we going to do if we have a 3rd child?!?!

Elsie is 1 week old!


We are so happy to be home! Elsie is being a very good baby (so far!) She sleeps most of the time, even at night!! Yeah! We wake her up to feed her about every 3 hours, but then she goes right back to sleep. Sophie doesn't seem too interested in her baby sister, but she seems to like her and we haven't had any jealousy issues (yet!) Here are some pictures of the girls!!



Elsie's first dominos game!

Our first outing to Kohls








This is from the waiting room at Norman Regional Hospital when we took Elsie back for a mother-baby check-up. When we left the hospital on Saturday, she weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz, but at this appointment she had already gotten back up to 8 lbs. 7 oz!




We were sad to see Grammy leave! You were such a big help, Grammy, and we miss you already!!



A couple of hours after Grammy left, though, my mom (Grandma) flew into town to meet little Elsie, and Grandpa got here today to spend the weekend with the granddaughters. I will post pictures from their visit later!


P.S. Nice try, Jordon, but you don't win the baby poll!! It did give us a laugh to see your almost perfect answers!

We're off...

to have a baby! We are about to head to the hospital to be induced! Despite my attempts to go into labor, I guess this baby just needs a little coaxing! We will let you know soon whether the newest Rabus is a boy or a girl!
