Cutie Carmen...

This morning I had the chance to play with our newest little baby planner, and we had a ball! She is not exactly a sleepy, curly little newborn as most of our new baby planners start out, and it was a fun change of pace.

She was smiley, talkative, and big on eye contact and cutie expressions.


She also knows she has these two wrapped around her little finger, dontcha think?
This qualifies as one of those "they made me do this" clothing choices (I think you could hear Carmen and I both saying this to ourselves)...this outfit came off of her build-a-bear. And yet...I happen to *heart* this photo...look how proud Dad is!
Welcome to the Sugar club, Miss Carmen!

Andrew...

This morning I had the chance to finally meet this fun little guy. His Mommy has been the recipient of a few gift certificates in the past, and today she cashed them all in for her sweet little man.

We covered a lot of ground in the time that I was there. Andrew was up for anything...exploring the backyard:

Cuddles with Mommy:


Forcing Puppy to cooperate for pictures:


And even cruising down the halls on his tractor (I guess Puppy was the navigator). This is one busy, happy, well-loved little guy!

When Dad suggested we incorporate his guitar, I was all over it. And when Andrew picked his little guitar up and started *strumming* (no lie-this kid can really strum!)-I was shocked! I love this sweet little father/son moment:
And in the end, we did a little swinging (anything to fight off those naptime blues...which could be a song! On the little guitar! Get after it guys...).
