Mr. Petrie bought me a subscription to Sunset magazine, which I love. I always think the recipes look incredible, but I had yet to try one. Well, I tried one and it was awesome.

Little baby smiles are the best!
I still had Miss Petrie’s Christmas photo up and it’s March, for goodness sake! I know some people keep holiday photos up all year, but I think it looks awkward when the cold weather has passed. I had some pictures of Miss Petrie Deux printed and added them to the wall as well. Before: After: [...]

Miss Petrie Deux is one month old! She smiles periodically, sleeps well at night, eats a lot, enjoys all the attention from mom, dad, and big sister.
