Matchy Matchy

One of the perks of having multiple children is dressing them to match each other. My mom bought these two outfits for the kiddies and Edith is finally big enough to wear hers. It doesn't get much cuter than matching smocked goldfish on Sunday morning. 

Lavender Cupcakes

It's been too long since I baked with herbs. Someone asked me to bake these lavender cupcakes for their daughters birthday last week. They were so yummy that I baked them again for a church function Friday night. I still have a little lavender left and I'm thinking of using it to make lavender ice cream!

I doubled the recipe both times. The first time I made standard sized cupcakes with a yield of about 15. For our church function I did mini cupcakes and it made about 53-55.

Baby Bud Turns Two

George's baby bud Cameron turned two a couple of weeks ago. His party was last Sunday afternoon. It was a lot of fun for all of us. George had a blast because they had a toy lawn mower and motorbike.

Ready for the party!

Edith pretty much slept the whole time we were there. Yay!

Ice Cream and Boat Watching

George loves to watch boats so sometimes on Sunday afternoons we grab ice cream and sorbet and head to the water. He has a blast staring at the boaters and sometimes he gets to see the ducks too. 

Baptism Sunday: Edith

Last Sunday Edith was baptized. Here are a few pictures of us after church. George wasn't really interested in having a family photo shoot after having to sit through church. 

Edith wore the same gown that I made for George and my good friend Charlotte added an oval with Edith's initials and date of birth. I decided to make a bonnet to add to the outfit and she added a little embroidery to that too. I'll have to take some close-ups and add them to this post soon. 

Edith Florence: 1 Month

Now that Edith is just over 2 months I figured it was time to finally post her one month pictures.

Weight: 10 pounds 4 ounces

Length: 22 inches

So far Edith is a pretty easy baby. She's not as fussy as George was so she tends to be a little happier. She's great at sleeping through George's racket and usually puts up with his poking a squeezing pretty well. 

Bath Time

I failed to take pictures of Edith's first bath but I think this was number 2 or 3. Nathan's mom bought us a Puj infant tub for the sink. We didn't have one of these when George was little. It's great for when they're really small. We love it!

She's a big fan of the bath.
