Girls' Weekend - Saturday

So far so good. Friday was a good day, I didn't take any pictures cause I kept waiting for the chaos to start and I was on high alert, but it never came. Here's our day:

Mommy starting the day out on a good note, mmmm hot chocolate

The girls watching cartoons

She's smiling, it can't be THAT bad

working on our tan

...or looking at mommy like she's crazy

ball pit time for Lily!

and tummy time for Miss Emily

Not hating tummy time today

Oooo, who's in there?

I know that baby from somewhere...

it's 4:00 and we're still smiling!

mommy switched to black and white, she's taking lots of pictures today!

Lily quietly reading about going to the potty

she seems interested, but don't let that fool you

it's bedtime, you can stop smiling and go to sleep now little girl

Girls' Weekend - The beginning

Jason left tonight on his golf trip to Charleston, South Carolina. I've been dreading this moment for 5 months now. I'm going to try to stick to a routine and stay organized and hopefully we'll get through this weekend with few casualties! Jason left me a reminder of him on the couch which I didn't see until after he left when I walked into the family room with a load of laundry to fold and nearly had a heart attack. I'll get him back!

Flower Girl

Thank you Great-Aunt Nancy for the cute outfit. And Thank you Laurie for the hairband!

Here you goooo

Lily brings little things to Emily now. If she finds Emily's soother or blanket somewhere she'll bring it over and put it on her and say "here you goooo". Today she decided that Emily needed toys while she was napping in her swing so she brought over a froggy rattle and the monkey from Emily's baby gym.

Emily being Emily

Can you say...

Jason and I started playing this game in the car with Lily where we would get her to say all the Spanish words she knows to make the time pass. Eventually we added other words she knows (like crocoduck, which is crocodile) and started sneaking in Emily so she'd learn how to say her name. I wanted to get it on video cause she won't always say these words the way she does, but this particular game got out of hand...

PS, the reason I ask her to say Grandma's house instead of just Grandma is because every house she sees on TV and in books is now Grandma's house to her, I think it's funny.

Our Smiley Baby

smiles!

What happens at Grandma's
stays at Grandma's...

Roll over Beethoven!

Lily composing music on her piano. She's getting to be pretty musical. As soon as she's old enough (most teachers won't take student under 3) I'm going to put her in some sort of music lesson.

Beep Beep!

Um, Mommy, you're like, in my way.

Ha ha, you're so silly mommy, I don't need a license to drive in the house.

Take a picture of me with my first car.

Look at those cheeks!

The Cat in the Hat left something behind...

Mommy! Stop taking pictures would ya!

I'm 2 months old today!

Wow, 2 months has gone by pretty fast. Emily is awake a lot more now and playing on the floor, well, playing is a strong word, it's more like flailing her arms and legs around until she hits something on her jungle mat. She also loves staring at the ceiling fan just like her big sister did (that's what she's doing in the pictures). She's absolutely fascinated with Lily, if Lily walks into the room she has Emily's full attention. Jason is heading back to work on Monday and then he's going for a 4 day golf trip to North Carolina at the end of the month. Both have me nervous that I can handle both of the girls on my own. Lily is all over the place and into everything and Emily is still very demanding of my time, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. Hopefully by the time he leaves Emily will be sleeping better at night and more independent during the day.
