Busy busy busy

So as you can see I bought a watermelon from Wegmans today. They had these mini seedless watermelons for $1.99 and they are pretty good! I am pretty sure this is Olivia's first time ever eating watermelon. She is so funny, once she noticed I was taking pictures of her she started waving to me, ha ha. Excuse her messy hair, as she had just gotten up from nap time and pulled out her hair tie and I couldn't find it anywhere!

This week we have been very busy doing lots of fun things. I think I am finally starting to get the hang of having 2 little ones and getting brave enough to go out and do things! On Monday Lauren, my niece who is 9, didn't have school so she spent the day with us. We went to story time at the library and had fun painting and coloring in the afternoon. Olivia had lots of fun with her cousin as always. Isabelle was also happy to have some snuggle time with Lulu.

Tuesday we went to the Strong Museum of Play with Olivia's favorite babysitter Shannon, Ami, and her little friend Angelina. We also met my friend Melanie there with her nephew. We were there for 5 hours! The kids really had a good time. Thanks to Ami and Shannon I was successfully able to keep track of Olivia and keep Isabelle happy!

Wednesday we went to story time at Barnes and Noble. Mr. Mike is really good with the kids and they sang lots of songs and danced! I will definitely be trying to get to this every week!

Today we did nothing! I was so tired so we stayed in today, especially since it is so gray outside. We did do some painting and flashcards. Olivia has now added a horsey's "neigh" to the animal sounds she knows! I am not sure what we will be doing tomorrow but I hope the sun comes out!

Playground

This afternoon was so nice!!! Brad and I cleaned out the cars while the girls were napping and then when they woke up we went to the playground. As you can see Olivia had a fun time and threw a temper tantrum, for the first time ever, when we had to leave. Then we came home and she played outside with her Daddy while he grilled hot dogs that were very yummy! It was such a nice day, I can't wait to get outside for walks with the girls at least at the beginning of the week when it is supposed to be pretty warm!

Izzy

Here are some good pics that I took of Isabelle the other day. I feel like every pic I have of her is in her little bouncy chair! I swear she is not always in that chair, but it is easy to get good pics of her while she is in it!!! I have been trying to take more pics of her because I haven't been really good about it. I know that people always say there are no pics of the second child but I want to make sure that doesn't happen!

Anyways Isabelle is as chubby as ever! I swear she eats abnormal amounts for her age, ha ha. Her little belly is so chubby and cute and she is definitely getting heavier. She is awake more and more and loves to look around. Brad was pinching her cheeks together today and it looked like she smiled at him after! I don't know if she really did but he is convinced and I have to say it did look like a smile!

She continues to be quite fussy at night time, but we are working through it. Once she gets over it she sleeps pretty good at night. She wakes up a few times but goes right back to sleep once she gets more food in her tummy and a clean diaper!

Olivia always tells her "awww its ok" when she cries and goes over to her and pats her or pets her head. She also walks around with one of her numerous babies and bounces it and pats it on the back while saying shhhh or awww its ok as if her baby is crying. It is the cutest darn thing. It is so funny how she picks up everything that I do with Isabelle. Oh and she keeps stealing diapers and trying to put them on her baby as well! I told her that diapers are expensive and she can only have one but that doesn't work. Ha ha.

Pictures

Here are some pictures of the girls from this past week. This was Olivia's first time having her hair in pig tails...every time I told her she had pig tails she put her hand on her nose and did oink oink, he he. Isabelle's face is all red because she had just gotten done with her bath...she doesn't look very happy does she?

We also went to Bounce it Out again this week with her cousins and her friend Zack! She had a great time. Don't you just love the pic of her on the ground hugging the inflatable lobster, ha ha.

Yesterday we were all able to get outside and enjoy the nice weather! We took a walk around the block and Olivia played in the yard for a bit. I can't wait until everything gets green again and flowers start coming out. This will be the first year that we will really utilize our back yard, so I can't wait to get out there and rake and clean it up and watch Olivia run around!

1 month old

Isabelle is officially one month old today! She had her 1 month check up and weighs in at exactly 9 lbs! She gained over a whole pound in 2 weeks! She is getting so chubby that her newborn clothes are starting not to fit her! I guess I am not that surprised since all she does is eat, eat, eat! The doctor said she is perfect and she will go back in 1 month. She did have to have one shot today but only cried for a minute until I picked her up. Next month she will get 5 shots! Poor thing...that will be a rough day. Olivia is still being a good big sister and always tries to comfort Isabelle when she is crying...it is very cute. Olivia will be going in for her 18 month check up on the 19th of this month. She is getting so big!
