"Baby Ingrid is eight weeks"
Nicole: "Amelia, how old are you?"
Amelia: "Ingrid is eight weeks."
Nicole: "Yes.. but how old are you?"
Amelia: "Ingrid is eight weeks. Amelia is almost two."
I write this as the wee one sleeps on my lap after her 2-month appointment and vaccines. She handled the immunization shots with grace, but is now yearning for some extra sleep and snuggle time from mom & Amelia today. Amelia is always happy to oblige!
In other news, our Miss Ingrid is on pace to be taller than her sister by next Christmas! She came in at the 81% for height. EIGHTY.FIRST!! She has also gained three pounds since her birth and has wonderful head control -- the doctor jokingly asked her if she has been to "sitting up class." She continues to be a good sport about her older sister yelling "BABY INNNN-GID" and "BABY SISSSSTER" right into her ears, and smiles frequently (though we have yet to catch one on camera.. stay tuned!)

Busted!
Amelia gets busted raiding Auntie Lisa's makeup bag. Proof below.
I can't help but think, while looking at this photo, that "kid-with-lipstick-all-over-face" is one of those parental "must-take" photos.. right up there with the crying-on-santa's-lap photo and the spaghetti-all-over-face-in-the-highchair photo.

Grandparents Day(s)
We may have missed the official "Grandparent's Day" in September but are sending a special shout out to some very special Grandparents (and Great Grandparents) today! Thank you for being so present in the lives of our little girls, they (and we) sure appreciate the love and adventures that you share with them!
Amazingly, all of these photos were taken within seven days - how lucky are we to have spent all of that family time together in October?

Appa-Tee! Appa-Tee!
Translation: "Apple Tree"
Issac had a day off last week and we took advantage of the beautiful fall weather to take Amelia to Spranger's Apple Orchard just east of Appleton. She spent the days beforehand studying up on apples, how they grow, how they taste, what we do with them, what colors they are and how to cut them in half and use them as stamps to make pictures -- so by the time we arrived, our normally somewhat-shy-with-strangers girl walked right up to the orchard host and said, "Appa-Trees! Appa-Trees!"
Ingrid came along for the ride as well, sleeping and hanging out with mom the whole time in her wrap:
And we even got a cute family picture, snapped by a perfect stranger who made us stop what we were doing and hand over our camera, telling us that we would absolutely want to remember this moment. What a kind soul!
