So, whenever the movie Overboard is playing on TV, I HAVE to watch it.  Why?  I really don't know.  There is something about it that draws me in--no matter how many times I have seen it.  I found myself watching it again last night and laughing out loud at some of the lines I had forgotten were in the movie ("A falsetto child?").  Other movies that I just can't get away from are: A Cinderella Story (yes, the one with Hilary Duff and Chad Micheal Murray), Johnny Tsunami, Clueless, The Wedding Planner, etc.  For Jake, his movie is Drumline.  I have to admit I like it too.  Luckily these movies are replayed over and over again on channels like TBS, TNT, and ABC Family. 

We think Alice has a crush on Freddy.  Who is Freddy, you ask?  Well, he is a nice young man who is living with my parents.  Whenever Alice goes over there, she asks where he is and if he's home she loves talking to him.  He is nice enough to talk with her and has even been known to play with her.  She is constantly mentioning him.  If I say, "Cool" or "Sweet", she chimes in with "Hey, Freddy says cool (or sweet)".  It's Freddy this, and Freddy that.  She never fails to bring Freddy up somehow.  I think he's too old for her--18.  If she's going to have a crush, at least it's on one of the nicest 18 year olds that I know.

Alice is spending the day at Grandma's while I get some much needed rest.  Although, Roxie slept for a 6 hour stretch last night.  What is up with that?  I'm certainly not going to disturb her beauty sleep!  So far she has been a pretty good baby.  Doesn't cry much, sleeps a LOT, and isn't sure what to do when Jake "plays" with her.  I have posted some new pictures of Roxie for your viewing pleasure.  Alice's photo shoot is also on there.  She got a new hair cut (because growing it out wasn't working).  She has the craziest hair--cowlicks all over the place.  The new do is much easier to deal with.  We took some pictures to share, but she wouldn't stop posing for the camera.  I'm not really sure where she picked that up--she's never met a camera she didn't like.

Even though Roxie has 2 other beds to choose from, we have been preferring to have her sleep in a laundry basket in our room at night.  We did the same thing with Alice when she was little (only for the first month or so).  Her sleep schedule was a little rough in the beginning, but seems to be getting better.  Lately she has been going to bed around 11 or 12 (we are night owls around here) and only getting up once in the night for food.  That is making life so much more bearable!  Although, last night we had a little kink.  After she ate, and she was getting burped, she puked up everything.  THAT was fun to clean up at 4:30am.  I remember Alice doing the same thing at about 2 weeks old.  It was a one time thing, and I'm hoping it is the same thing for Roxie.

 

Roxie Jane Dempsey arrived on Wednesday, January 30th at 2:46am.  She clocked in at 7 lb 3oz and measured 20 inches.  We are so excited to have her home with our little family.  Alice is trying to adjust--she is SOOOO excited about having a baby sister.  Unfortunately, she thinks of her more as a doll.  She wants to put her in different outfits and still has a hard time "bringing it down a notch".  But, she's a good big sister--always ready and willing to help.

 

After looking back at some of Alice's baby pictures, we have decided that Jake and I have only one set of genes to pass on.  Is Roxie a clone?  We don't know...can you tell who's who?
