Four Weeks

Taylor is now four weeks old. The lack of blog updates is pretty much due to the crazy zoo we have here. At any given time someone is either eating, being changed, being rocked or being played with. But we love it all, even if it means giving up a little sleep. Lauren is currently winning the sleep competition with a nightly average of 11 hours. Mom is currently is last place given she is the main food supplier.

We did have one milestone last night, or maybe anomaly is a better word to use. Taylor slept for 6 hours straight. Unfortunately the sleep started at 8:30 so we only got to take advantage of about 4 of those hours. Hopefully we'll be able to replicate this again tonight.

So what have we been up to the last two weeks:

Grandpa and Grandma Albrecht stopped by for the weekend.

Lauren has started to get a little stir crazy in the house and has more and more energy every day. She has decided that she likes climbing on the furniture and at any given time has a bruise or two to prove it.

We have been taking advantage of going to the park quite a bit. Taylor likes the fresh air and Lauren loves to be outside. Lauren has now learned that if we say we are going to the P - A - R - K it means we are going to the park to play and she brings us her shoes and socks.

This past weekend we went to a new park for Lauren, which also happened to have a lake. We knew Lauren liked the pool but this weekend we found out that she also very much likes the lake. The 70 Degree day heated up the shallow area enough that Lauren played for about 15 minutes in the lake. We ended up trying to bribe her with treats to get her to come out.

Charlie has officially moved out. He has been enjoying his time up in Brainerd and has taken up fishing as his new hobby. Charlie will be coming to visit this weekend, so we'll see if his behavior has changed.
