5 Weeks
Somehow 5 weeks have passed since Audrey joined our family - what a total time warp! Audrey is growing like a weed, weighing in at 12 lbs at her 1 month well baby checkup. That's even bigger than big brother weighed in at 1 month, which is quite impressive since we all know how gigantic he has always been! She is an amazingly good baby. She sleeps awesome, she eats awesome and she's so "chill." And Isaac is the best big brother ever. He has to know where she is at all times, he wants to "hold baby Audrey" constantly and he gets very upset when she's crying and we don't respond immediately - too cute. Life is good.
I came across this picture of Isaac around 4 weeks.
And here's Audrey at 4 weeks. I'd say they look quite alike!

All in a name.
Lots of people have been asking how we arrived at the name Audrey Jane for our baby girl, so I thought I would share. We wanted to choose a name that was different yet familiar, much like Isaac. We were after a timeless name hovering around the halfway rank on the most popular names list for the last few years, just like Isaac. We wanted something where she'd probably be the only one in school, not like the Sarah V and Jeff B we were growing up! Several names fit this bill that we liked and we went to the hospital armed with all of them just waiting to see our daughter's face. As soon as they lifted her in the air we both whispered "Audrey." And isn't it just perfect that the Baby Name Wizard website lists the following as recommended sibling names for Audrey:
As far as a middle name we wanted to continue our tradition of using family names. Jane is the given middle name of my godmother, my Aunt Laura, and the name of my great aunt, a nun, Sister Jane (given name Sarah Jane). Jeff also has an Aunt Jane. Lastly it leaves us with the fabulous nickname AJ which pays tribute to my favorite cousin Amanda Joy who I have always called AJ!

Newborn Photo Shoot
Saturday we had a photographer come to the house for Audrey's newborn photo shoot - she did great! We can't wait to see the final images, but here's a sneak peek on the photographer's blog.
