How Ben entertains Logan...
I left Logan and Audrey with Ben and Kara while I went shopping at the JBF sale. They found this to be the best way to entertain/keep Logan out of trouble/and give him a treat.

Audrey
Audrey is continuing to grow and become more interactive. Here were our first attempts at getting a picture of her smile. She smiled at Ben first and most often initially. However, I now receive my fair amount of smiles throughout the day.
Just look at those cheeks, I know that you just want to squeeze them.
The following are some more attempts to get smiles and pictures of Audrey cooing and talking. The pictures with the HUGE eyes are the result of the flash going off and startling her.

Updates- Super Bowl
So I am once again behind in my blog updates. Sorry life with two kids and a husband and a house is BUSY (as many of you already know)! I also tend to think that my memory is better than what it actually is. I will start with some pictures of my two little Steelers' fans.
Even though the Super Bowl had a disappointing ending for us Steelers" fans, it was still fun to watch it with the Robbins. Unfortunately, Logan decided to throw a pillow and it hit my bowl of chili and ended up on the wall. SORRY Karen!! Then he dropped half of his gob on the floor. I think it will be a miracle if we get invited to their house again. SORRY Karen!!
Thanks Jim, for playing with Logan while the game was on. Also thank you Karen, for holding Audrey while I enjoyed eating supper.

Playing in the Snow 2011
As many of you know, we got a snow storm last week. In fact, Ben had a snow day on Tuesday and also Wednesday. I wanted to take Logan out on Tuesday, but with the wind chills it was way too cold. After our outing yesterday, I was finally able to get some pictures of Logan "playing" in the snow. He didn't care to walk in the snow and kept saying that he was stuck. 
He also didn't like that he had to keep his gloves on. 
He also helped Ben shovel the driveway.
Even Audrey, got to go out in the snow.

Logan needs a Haircut
Ben has been saying for weeks that I need to take Logan to get his hair cut again. Yesterday, I decided that I would try to get out and get his hair cut at the Supercuts Training Center. Here is a picture of Logan after his nap. 
FYI I dried his hair before putting him down for a nap. 
After getting both kids ready and driving on the not so pleasant roads, the training center was closed, so no hair cut.

Updates... continued
Ben has continued to do baths. Here is a picture of Audrey getting her first bath at home. 
After Audrey's bath, we have decided to call her Spike, because that is exactly what her hair does most of the time. However, these pictures don't give you a good idea of what we are talking about.
One of the biggest adjustments has been Logan having to share us. He is getting much better about having his sister around.
Logan helping Daddy make chili. He loves to stand on the stool and observe, stir, and help in other ways.
In fact, he has been very observant about how I take care of Audrey. For example, he has seen me feed her and thought that he should give it a try.
Audrey was supposed to be doing tummy time. I went to put a load of clothes in the washer and this is what I found when I came back into the living room.
I took Audrey for her two week check on Thursday, January27th. Here are her new stats...
Head Circumference- 36 1/2cm, 62nd percentile
Height- 21 1/2 in, 87th percentile
Weight- 8lbs 13 ozs, 65th percentile.
Finally, I wanted to get some pictures of the kids together. However, Logan really didn't want his picture taken at this point in time, so I only got one of them together. Audrey sitting on the couch with Logan.

Updates
After the ultrasound, Ben and I talked about our options as far as delivery. I wanted to avoid a c-section if at all possible, but I also didn't want to tear like I did with Logan. Prior to my appointment, I had been praying that whatever decision we made that I would have peace about it. At my next doctor's appointment, Ben went with me and after seeing the nurse practitioner and then talking to the doctor, we decided to go ahead and be induced on Monday, January 10. After my appointment, I felt much better prepared. I was still apprehensive since I had no idea what to expect with an induction and it felt like this was my first pregnancy all over again. Fortunately, I can now tell you that this delivery went much better. I truly am thankful that God was with us each step of the way and did give me the peace about being induced. Here is the last pregnancy pic, I am 39 weeks and 3 days. This was taken at the hospital the night before I delivered.
A FAMILY OF FOUR
When Logan arrived at the hospital after I had Audrey, he looked a bit concerned and confused when he saw Audrey lying in her bed. He soon warmed up to her and wanted to hold her. He even bent down and was giving her kisses. Audrey also gave him kisses, although she was actually looking for food.
GOING HOME
I was able to go home on Tuesday, just a little over 24 hours after Audrey was born. The weather in Oklahoma was a bit icy and cold, so we got to use the snow suit that we received as a gift. It is a little big, but it served its purpose.
ADJUSTING
Since we have been home, there has been a lot of adjusting going on for all of us. Fortunately, Gwen was able to come down and help us. Although, there has been some "down" time and Gwen and Kara enjoyed some boxing on the Wii. 
We have also partaked in playing Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune on the Wii. Logan got the game Just Dance for Kids and we have all played many rounds of this game.
An adjustment that we still aren't used to is the broken sleep throughout the night. One of the biggest challenges is the fact that it seems that Audrey doesn't like her bed. We initially were concerned about Audrey waking Logan. However, he has adjusted to her being in his room and barely stirs when she is fussing. The problem is she will sleep in her pack and play, on the floor, in her swing, but not her bed. We have tried to put her in her bed numerous times, with little success. For the first two weeks of her life, she slept in her swing in our room. 
There have been a couple of nights where she was in her bed the whole night, but they have been few and far between. We really would like for her to sleep in her room, but I get frustrated after being up with her for at least an hour and end up bringing her to our room and putting her in the swing. She sleeps quite well in there, in fact there were nights where I got 4 1/2 hours of sleep at a time.
