The Lee's: A New Friend...

This week was a busy one! The most exciting part was welcoming a new friend...Owen Benjamin Wilde was born on Thursday and we were so excited to meet him! I hope that Audrey and Owen will become good friends since they are only four and a half months apart! We went to Jeannie and Derrick's on Tuesday to meet Owen. He seems so tiny compared to Audrey! You really do forget how small babies are when they're born - so cute! He was sleeping the entire time, but I can already tell that he looks just like big brother Braden - so adorable!

First date with Owen
(Audrey was hungry AND tired - hence the pacifier!)

Scott's now a pro at holding babies!

We also had another play date this week. My friend Nickole and her daughter Johnna came over for a visit. Johnna was born just a week before Audrey, so it is fun for us to compare notes about how/what they are doing and ask each other questions. They girls played on the floor and just kind of stared at each other. Johnna was trying to teach Audrey how to roll over, but it didn't really work! :-)

Audrey and Johnna

Audrey seems to be becoming more and more aware of her surroundings. Just recently, she has really started watching the dogs as they walk around her. I think she is trying to figure out what they are and why they want to lick her all the time. This morning, she even smiled at Oscar! Other fun developments including more talking. She is now saying "babababa" and "mamamama." This morning when she was crying, I swear she said Mama! :-) She also keeps her head level with her body when pulled up by her arms. We are still working on rolling over. After she did it and we caught it on camera, she kind of stopped doing it. She now will grab anything she can get her hands on and it immediately goes into her mouth. She is chewing on things more, which makes me think her first tooth might be on it's way. She is still loving her thumb as well. We are also happy to report that she is still sleeping through the night - usually 11 or 12 hours! We are so lucky! And an earlier bedtime (about 8:00) means I've been able to catch up on my Oscar movies finally! We watched 127 Hours, The Fighter and Black Swan (I watched it twice - it was so good!).
