All smiles

Ashton is starting to smile a lot. It is so fun when they start smiling at you.


Here is a picture of Cate in her new shirt from Grammy.

6 Weeks Old

Ashton is now 6 weeks old. He is starting to smile more and more. Cate continues to be a great big sister. She is so nice to him. She loves to show him stuff and tries to teach him things. Yesterday Ashton had his first bottle. We decided that it was time to introduce it so that when I go back to work he will be used to having a bottle. Cate did not like the bottle at all when we first gave it to her. It took a few weeks to get her used to it. Ashton on the other hand started drinking from it right away. He is such a laid back baby!

We got out Cate's old play mat for Ashton and he seemed to like it.

Here is a video of Cate playing with Ashton. I love how at the end she says "bless you" to Ashton.

What a great big sister. She always asks if she can hold and hug him.

Last night Cate and Eric cuddled up on the couch and watched some football

Pretty Dresses

When I got Cate dressed this morning she said "I in a dress Mommy, dance with me". It was so cute!

Then she wanted to play dress up with her new princess dress and tiara

Here is a current picture of our ever growing son. It is amazing how much he is changing. He is starting to smile a lot more. He is also doing really well at night. He only wakes up one time at night, which makes us very happy.

Here is a picture of Cate when she was the same age as Ashton wearing the same outfit.

Videos of the kids

I thought I would post some videos of the kids:

Cate singing ring around the rosie

Playing with bubbles

Great big sister

To Elyse

Cate's cousin Elyse posted some videos on her blog so Cate made a couple videos for Elyse:




Here are a couple pictures of Ashton. He is growing so fast!
I dressed Cate in a CU outfit when she was little and put her back in it as she got older. So I thought I would do the same with Ashton. So here he is at 1 month old.

I just thought this was a great picture of him sleeping.

Bubbles

Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt gave Cate Gymboree Bubbles for Chrismas. She loves them so much. Here is a picture of her in her play room with all of the bubbles.

Family photo

Cate had two of her friends over yesterday to play. The three of them had a tea party. It was so cute.
