New photos!

A post about Betty's remarkable birth is coming very shortly, but before my family and Sean's poor family disowns me for lack of photos, here are some from the past couple of weeks. Our little "chubber-wub", as Ella calls her, now tips the scales at more than 10.5 lbs and is wearing 3-month baby clothes. She is as big now as Ella was at 2 months! She's still rather good-natured, and still does her damnedest to keep mama up all night. Ella's still a maniac and still does her damnedest to put mama in a home. :) Ella's a fabulous big sister, loves "her Betty-Boo" to pieces, and if I'm not on full alert, does her best to maul her.

Sean and his girls.

Silly camera smile.

Even sillier camera smile.

Betty at three weeks.

Sean & Betty (3 weeks old).

I have no idea what kind of a face this is, but it's hilarious.
We were all dressed up to go to a friend's fun bar mitzvah
celebration, where Ella danced *all* night.

Master & apprentice. (It's hard to say which is which...)

Sleeping baby (3.5 weeks old).

Betty at 4 weeks.

4 weeks.

So happy when Daddy comes home (and saves her from mean Mama...).

Betty at 4.5 weeks.

Budding activist? :)

Okay now she's just dancing.

Betty at 5 weeks (sizey double chin!).

A teeny smile.

Ella sporting a bubble goatee.

Betty sporting some chubbiness.

Look at those cheeks! (and that's quite a double-chin as well)

Ella all fancied up for a trip to IKEA (she can't go anywhere
without that bug box).

Betty tolerating Ella's mauling for long enough for a photo.
(Does anyone else think it's odd that Ella is wearing the same
red dress in almost all of these photos? She loves it, and even
insists on sleeping in it. Thanks Wah Wah Jill!)
