Birthday Bonanza

On Saturday, we threw Evie her 4th birthday party at nearby Newcastle Beach Park. We lucked out because it was a beautiful, warm day, perfect for kids to play at the park and get their feet wet in the Lake. All of Evie's little buddies came out for the party and it was so sweet to watch Evie play with her friends. If you ask her what her favorite part of the day was, you would not be surprised that she says it was opening presents. She also really enjoyed giving out the goodie bags that we had made the night before.

weeks old and just as big as Nora!

Happy birthday, beautiful girl!

It was a double whammy of a day because it was also baby bear Nora's 10 month birthday! Here's the little sweetie pie. She kept trying to clap her hands so I couldn't get a good picture of her showing off her 10-month sticker onesie.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted! We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

1 week checkup

We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse. A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
