Family Photos!

We love being a family of four! Here are just some fun family pictures we have taken recently. I realized we don't have a picture of all 4 of us together. :( Definitely going to have to fix that soon!

Lynnea 3 Months!

This is a little late but Lynnea is now three months! Love her! Everyday she becomes more alert and more active. She is a very happy baby and loves to smile! She has also discovered her feet and loves to pick them up, play with them, and kick them. She is very mobile! I put her to bed one night facing one direction. I went to check on her before I went to bed and she was facing the complete opposite direction. Then the next morning when I went to pick her up, she was back facing the direction I had laid her down in! A far cry from Anara who was not a mover at all!

She also loves to be tickled. She has the most delightful laugh when we tickle her and will just smile and coo at us. So much fun! As for her favorites, she could not live without two things. Her play mat on the floor and her swing! She will play for hours on her play mat during the day. She loves to grab the dangling play toys, bat at them and even kick them.

Anara is still a fabulous big sister. I have been so impressed with how well she has handled the transition. She loves Lynnea so much and wants to help with everything. She can be a little rough but not too bad. And Lynnea definitely responds to Anara. The other day we were shopping and Lynnea was getting fussy and Anara went to her stroller and started singing. Lynnea immediately stopped crying and just stared at Anara and smiled and smiled. It was so sweet! Love my two girls!!!

Football Frenzy

Just a few pictures of my babies just for fun! These were taken the day of the Superbowl and if you look carefully, Anara's skirt has footballs on it and then she has the cheerleader megaphone with the letter A on her shirt. Thought it was fun and festive (and it was given to us so it was free!)

The difference a month makes!

2 Months!

Lynnea turned two months! You hear from every mother how it goes by so quickly and I agree with them! We had some issues with her being pretty fussy but finally figured out that it was because I was dieting and I wasn't producing enough milk. I started eating more and imagine that, I have a happy baby again! Losing weight will just have to wait because having a happy baby is much more important!

She is definitely more aware of her surroundings and alert which makes her more fun. She has started smiling which is my favorite milestone! I just love those big toothless grins! She has also started cooing but more importantly, she has started grunting. Wow, this kid loves to grunt. It is so cute!

My Sweet Girls!

I have such sweet girls! It is amazing to me how much Anara has accepted and loves Lynnea. When I pick Anara up from school, she always has to say hello to her sister before I get any recognition. Anara keeps talking about all of the things they will do together when Lynnea gets bigger and seems to have no jealousy towards Lynnea when I am focusing on Lynnea and not Anara. It is so sweet!

As Sweet As A Rose!

Anara had her first hair cut today! At first she was very apprehensive about it but then she became excited. Since she was a little nervous, I took her to a kid hair place. We walked in and she just stood there and said, "Wow!" It was a huge room full of toys. Every kids dream! When it was her turn she sat on tractor and watched a princess movie. She was a little nervous at first but the movie won her over. When he was finished he asked her if she wanted him to braid her hair like a princess. If you gave any thought to her answer just now, you don't know my daughter! She gave a very big yes! When we were leaving she became a little upset and I asked her what was wrong. She said that she was sad because she had princess hair but he didn't give her a princess crown! Love that kid!

We then went to Michael's to get some things and she just HAD to buy a rose for her Aunt Connie's wedding. She is going to be the flower girl and is very excited. She keeps trying to convince her Aunt Connie that she needs to change the wedding colors from Red to Pink. I don't think her Aunt Connie is listening!
