Happy Easter!

We celebrated Allie's first Easter this weekend. We started the weekend with Abby doing an Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning. She spent the rest of the day baking with BB and we had a delicious steak dinner cooked by Daddy on Saturday night. The Easter bunny came to visit the girls on Sunday and brought all kinds of goodies for the girls.  Abby particularly enjoyed the Easter stamps and notebooks that Margaret gave her. Allie is still a little young to enjoy the toys the Easter bunny brought, but she'll start playing with them in no time.

Much Love,

One Month!

Allison is one month old today. It's really hard to believe we've already passed the one month mark. The time is passing so quickly. Allie can already smile and lift her head for several seconds at a time. She's very strong and moves and squirms a lot when she's awake. We are transitioning to her crib tonight so we'll see how well that goes. We are looking forward to having our room back, but we will miss having little bit so close to us at night.

Much Love,

Playtime Outside

We have been pleasantly surprised that this week has been so wonderfully sunny and warm outside. We spent most of the day today outside to let Abby climb trees, ride her bike and play in the garden. Allie also enjoyed the sun as she slept most of the afternoon away in the sun! The girls were both worn out by the end of the day!

Much Love,

Spring Break Day One

Abby's school is closed for Spring Break this week. We were lucky enough to have Mumzie in town to help keep Abby entertained and mommy sane all those days. Day one and we headed to the park to do a little fishing, walking and playing. It was wonderfully warm and sunny outside, which it has not been for the last month or so. 

In other news, Allison is now smiling! We finally were able to catch it on camera! She's growing too fast!

Daddy's Away

Daddy had a conference in Oklahoma City this week, so mommy and the girls were on their own for a few days. Mommy took some time getting her sea legs when taking care of the two girls, especially since one is a newborn! BB was able to take Abby to school and pick her up every day which was a tremendous help. Still, mommy is very much looking forward to daddy's return on Friday night!

Cough, sneeze and sniffles...oh my!

Abby brought home a nasty cold this week and it wasn't too long before mommy and daddy caught the bug as well. We are still keeping our fingers crossed that Allie doesn't catch it because it certainly is miserable! Allie went in for her two week check up on Wednesday. She weighed in at 10 lbs 9 oz which is about the 97th percentile and measured 22" or the 99th percentile. The doctor didn't seem concerned that Allison would catch our cold since she is breastfed and still has mommy's antibodies. She also said that her jaundice is well controlled and should be completely gone in a couple weeks. We don't have to go back for a follow-up visit until she's 2 months old, but then it will be time for shots.

Much Love,

Snow and Rain - Go Away!

As we mentioned, the snow has been coming non-stop since Allison was born. Well, the clouds finally broke today so we took advantage of the sunshine and headed outside. It was Allison's first experience with sunshine and mommy definitely needed some outdoor time! While Allie and mommy soaked up the sun rays, Abby and daddy played in the garden and climbed trees...mommy could hardly watch!

Much Love,
