Abe & Sissy

When Sissy picks out her own outfits, she comes up with things like this:And here is Abe in his 3 month onesie (he's turning out to be such a big baby!):
I love how intense his eye contact is.

A Few Abe Pics

A couple of weeks ago, Colin's grandma came over and got to hold Abe:And yesterday Abe joined Colin and I for my birthday breakfast at Bumblekiss (my favorite Portland breakfast spot):

Here are some random pictures from this last week:

Juliet likes to read while she spends time in the bathroom.Samuel paints Sissy's toenails and nails about once a week:

Abe does this face a lot and Jude comments on how he thinks the baby is trying to whistle:

Here are the kids watching Abe in his swing for the first time:I think he looks like Jude as a baby.
Chubby sleeping baby!
So kissable.
He lasted about five minutes in this travel swing while I was attempting to do dishes.

Samuel's First Lost Tooth

After about a week of nursing a loose tooth, Samuel lost his first tooth yesterday at lunch into his turkey wrap. The tooth fairy gave him "one green dollar". He was so excited!

Abe at 2-3 weeks old

I realized today that I have not been taking many photos of Abe - as it turns out, caring for a newborn around the clock doesn't allow for many other activities =).

Here he is this morning during his awake time:And he often takes couch naps:
He doesn't cry too often, but when he's hungry (and that's often) he gets pretty upset.
Tummy time.
Sissy and Samuel inspecting Baby Abe. They are very much in love with their brother. Sissy always says "I hold her!". We are trying to train her that Abe is a boy.
Here is Abe's first home bath.

We did a weight check at the dr. yesterday and Abe gained 19 ounces since his last dr. appt. - she was very happy with this and he does not have to return until he is 2 months old.

He also caught his first cold, but got the mildest form of it - I was afraid he would have breathing issues like Juliet did when she was first born, but he did great.
