Little Sister

First Days at Home

Meet June

June Frances was born at 4:28 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011, tipping the scale at 8 lbs., 11 oz., and 19.5 inches. We had a wonderful labor and delivery experience, and she has been a delightful baby since we brought her home.

Max is very excited to be a big brother, and he has been very helpful around the house. (Of course, my mom has been even more helpful, so we are feeling pretty lucky these days.)

Oh -- and June was born on her Grandma Diane's 60th birthday, which was really special. Happy Birthday, Bubbe!

New Breakfast Option

We introduced Max to cold cereal for breakfast, and he is a big fan. He usually eats three bowls of Cheerios. The bowls are small, but still ... three bowls?

Prepping for June

Here's a sneak peak of the nursery. I still want to get a rug and some wall-hangings, but it's baby-ready! June's room will also serve as a guest room, so we had to find fabric that matched the day bed. (Oh and my mom made the bed skirt and curtains. She's the best.)

And almost all of the clothes are hand-me-downs. I'm so lucky to have such generous friends and family -- and they have great taste, too.

More Elmo

I couldn't resist posting this pic, despite my attire. Max kept resting his hand on my belly. He's going to be such a sweet big brother.
