Week 2 - That didn't take long

If you remember back to Henry's infancy, Laura quickly took the title of "parent most likely to get peed on." Well, have no fear, because she has triumphantly retained her title this time around as well! Hey, at least this time neither of the incidents were in the face :).

This was a week of adjustments for the family, as Henry went back to daycare and Reggie back to work. On his first day back, Reggie almost forgot that he will be picking up Henry for the next 4 months! Overall, it seems much more difficult. No longer is it 2-on-1, now both parents have to pick a kid and cover them off! This has really put a crimp in all the Real Housewives' series that Laura can follow! Also, Aubrey is certainly not a fan of being sat down. Laura has found that out the hard way during her week at home. Essentially, upon setting her down, you have about 5 -10 minutes to get what you complete what you needed to do before she goes nuclear on you. Even at night, we can only get her to sleep for maybe an hour at a time in her vibrating chair (the bassinet is a NO-GO). However, if Reggie holds her in bed, she will routinely sleep for up to 5 hours! Due to our own selfish wants, we have decided for now to let Reggie hold her on multiple nights :)

Henry continues to be amazing with his new little sister. He and Reggie have started 'racing' when they
get home at night to see who can give Aubrey a hug and kiss first. Henry always wins.

I don't know if Emily is smiling for the camera, or because of the size of the bow up on Aubrey's dome!

Mimi came back to town on Tuesday to help Laura out for the week.  She was such a help with everything, and allowed for Laura to be able to somewhat maximize her sleep! Of course, she loved all the one-on-one time she was able to get with her new grandaughter.

On Thursday, Laura and Kathy took Aubrey over to April's house for lunch with their good friend Jill, who was in town from Los Angeles. Jill was a little disappointed to learn that we were doing the "Week" pictures differently this time around :)

On Sunday, Papa Rick and Grandma Rosie came up to visit for the day. In addition, Laura took Aubrey over to her friend Leslie's home for a trunk show/henfest in order to show off our little girl. Aubrey did great, right up until the point she decided she was hungry... While Laura and Aubrey were away, the grandparents and Aunt Allison took Henry out for cookies and ice cream and played on our swingset.
