Happy Valentine's Day

My lil ballerina and I had fun making these yummy "addicting" treats for the grandparents.

and Simms made sure Margaret didn't eat them all :)

Pajama Party!

The girls valentines treats.

Thank you Gigi and Pops for my goody in the mail. I put it in my piggy bank so mommy and daddy wouldn't get it :)

Thank you Memo and Papa for my balloooon!

Hope everyone had a wonderful day! XOXO

4 month checkup

We had a great appointment with Dr Kim. She's right on track and growing like a weed.

Weight: 14 pounds 6 ounces

Height: 25 inches

Head C: 41 cm

She is pretty much growing at the same rate as Margaret except for being a whole pound bigger like at birth.

Margaret's 4 month check up

As mentioned in previous posts, Simms does NOT nap and have had some rough nights recently. Well Simms must have listened to the dr because she slept like a champ last night. I fed her at 8 and by 8:30 she was asleep. Not a peep from her until 3:15. She was up again at 5:45 and went back down until 9! Yep she slept from 8:30pm until 9am with 2 wake ups. And she took a 2 hour nap while we ran a few errands late morning. Lets hope this is a start of some LONG sleep!

4 months

Big sister making sure she doesn't fall over :)

BOTH these girls are growing up so fast before our eyes.

Simms was starting to sleep great at night until this past week. The increased gnawing on everything and drool was the big giveaway . . . teething! Already?!?!?

A few weeks ago miss Simms was so proud of herself and rolled over . . . all the way over.

All ready to go shopping together for the first time the "3" of us.

Two peas in a pod.

Simms does NOT nap! If she does it is 30 minutes on the dot!!! Margaret takes a longer nap than all of Simms' naps combined. Praying this will change!

Enjoying some YOBE.

Sand!!! The Buseys gave us a sandbox they no longer were using and Miss Margaret loves it!!!

Such a happy girl! These 4 months have flown by and she is growing up sooooo fast! I hate to say that she is in 6 months and growing out of some of them. I spent today pulling out what 9 month clothes she might be able to wear of Margaret's.

We are headed to the doctor on Tuesday for her 4 month checkup. So eager to see how much she weighs. She is a lil chunky monkey :) Hoping the doctor has some words of wisdom for the sleep deprived mommy right now. Was not expecting to have a 23 month old getting her last few molars and a 4 month old teething at the same time!

3 Months

well 3 weeks ago. It has been a whirlwind of a month. Dad in the hospital and not able to pick up the girls = one exhausted momma!

On New Years Eve, Simms slept great for pretty much the first time! And continued until her big sister got her sick. Back to square one we go. A week later she is back to sleeping great and then mommy gets sick. Daddy was out of town so we were in survival mode. Back to square one we go . . .

Love her smile!

For some reason I feel like she is growing a lot fast than Margaret did. She is pretty much wearing 6 month clothes. Today I was watching her spin around in her entertainer and flipping the book. Um what?!?!? Felt like it took Margaret forever to do that.

We haven't played much on the play mat because even when I am watching Margaret like a hawk, she always seems to end up almost on top of Simms. Margaret is getting better. She loves tummy time! She lays in front of Simms screaming "tummy time Simms tummy time."

Swing = happy well rested baby girl

Sisterly love! It is huggie huggie, kissy kissy NONSTOP!!! From sun up to sun down.

These girls are definitely wearing me out but I love watching them together. Margaret can not get enough of her baby sister and know they will best of friends.

22 months! WHAT?!?!?

She loves to dance, play outside, go on walks, watch Fresh Beat Band, play in her kitchen, puzzles, books, Chugginton (train set), say her 1,2,3's and ABC's. She has gotten so good and am very proud of her.

"I need that . . . "

With her best buddy Miss Langston. We sure are going to miss seeing you next year!

We finally made it to the beach to give MomB her Christmas presents. Margaret had so much fun showing MomB how to do the Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Love these munckins.

MTB - 22.5 months and CSB - 3.5 months

Daddy come home

Margaret knows how to melt her daddy's (and mommy's) heart!

While daddy was in the hospital for a week she was missing him more and more each day. She picked a flower for him and kept walking around asking him to come home.

She helped out a lot around the house and yard :)

We are so glad to have daddy home.

and glad he can finally pick the rug rats up :)

Daddy had a follow up appointment last week and the doctor told him he had one of the worst cases he has seen and was surprised he didn't get an infection.

THANK YOU LORD FOR WATCHING OUT FOR HIM!!!
