She even got the right number of fingers to show how old she is now... well at least on one of her hands! I have to admit it's better than I can do. Most people make fun of how I show three fingers (pinky, middle, and pointer fingers up with thumb holding down the ring finger... weird I know) so I'm glad to see Pearl won't be getting teased for that her entire life.

Today was Pearl's actual birthday... the big 3! To celebrate I told her we would do anything she wanted. Well, three hours later after playing at the park in the sweltering heat, this little princess was pooped. Ok so her mom and brother were the ones who were tired... good thing Pearl can be easily bribed with a Popsicle. I found her sound asleep not too long after we got home with her boa on and her birthday card from our neighbors right next to her (this picture was taken shortly after Pearl woke up realizing a camera was in her face and proceeded to banshee scream at me to stop). It's one of those singing cards and boy oh boy has Pearl LOVED that card! It sings some princess song that starts out "Every girl can be a princess." Pearl knows the entire song by heart (I admit I could probably sing along to it too but am not about to document it on the blog). It's amazing how quickly she picks up songs and even more amazing, the mess that follows when she decides it's only proper to sing along with the birthday card decked out in full princess apparel and dumps the entire dress up box on her bedroom floor. Oh well, I guess when it's your birthday you can do what you want!

Pearl has been looking forward to her birthday all week. I'm not sure what she thinks birthdays are all about but part of the festivities included sharing treats with her friends at school. I was praying I'd make it on time for snacks because Cole decided at the last minute that he was hungry. Luckily we made it just as everyone was sitting down. I'm sure it was pretty comical to watch a ragged, sleep deprived, bags-under-her-eyes mom lugging in a car seat, diaper bag, camera, three boxes of Capri Suns, and three boxes of fruit snacks. But it sure made Pearl's whole day!

Laundry day used to be on Friday... just Friday. But then we had a boy. Either boys just pee a lot or this mama hasn't figured out how to change a little boy's diaper yet. I'm guessing it's the latter.

Today was Cole's first doctor's appointment and his second prick for his newborn screening test. Poor little guy, he bleeds like his mom... meaning multiple pokes because it clots before you can get enough blood out. Here's the two week stats:
Weight: 8 lbs. 8 oz. (43%)
Height: 20 1/2 inches (44%)
Head circumference: 35.8 cm. (25%)
Apparently he is getting something from me because he has definitely grown!

Pearl got her green thumbs from me... pretty much non-existent. Jeff is the real gardener in the family, Pearl and I just "supervise" and help pick out flowers at the store. We bought a bunch of red and orange flowers for our front flower beds and pots and Jeff spent all day planting and cleaning up the yard (oh and in his spare time, washing all the windows inside and out). I am so grateful Jeff works hard to make our home beautiful. Now if I can only do my part and remember to water everything!

I realized we didn't have many pictures of Cole with his family so I asked Jeff to snap a shot of us after church. I figured it might be the only time I looked semi-awake with my hair and makeup done. Don't you just love that little boy's wild hair?!
