Little Mommy

Exercising

Now that baby Sammie is here and I still, very much so, have the 'baby pooch' leftover, I've been trying to exercise whenever and wherever I get the chance. Lately this means I run up and down the stairs 10 times and then do some pilates moves that I remember from classes years ago. The kids decided they wanted to join in.
As you can see in the video, Bradley quickly looses interest and doesn't want to exercise anymore... neither do I Bradley, neither do I...

I don't look this cute after I exercise :)

Sammie's 2 Months

At her 2 month check up she was 10 pounds 21 inches - in about the mid twentieth percentile of both, even though I don't pay any attention to those :) She did such a great job at the doctor. After her shots she screamed 2 big times, then I picked her up and she was silent. At first we thought she was still crying, just one of those silent cries, but no - she had completely stopped and was fine :) Sweet sweet baby! She is starting to play with her tongue a lot and smile more and more. I have given up the fight with the pacifier and am happy with it now :) Even my doctor was like, "some babies just need to suck, just give it to her!" She has slept 7 hours at night a few times now, which is sure nice! She sleeps for long periods in the first part of the night still and the later part she can be up every hour or so. Then she'll usually take a long nap during the day or 4-5 hours, so she's a GREAT sleeper, just like her sister! The day she turned 2 months we turned our backs for 1 minute while she was in the pack-n-play and Gracie had her diaper off and was trying to change her diaper. I know she's just trying to be helpful and it's pretty darn cute.

Spring is here!!

Horray for nice weather! The kids just love to play outside. I have high hopes for this summer - one of them being to do a garden for the first time. I want to do one every year and every year I don't get around to it. But I know the kids would love it and I would have a lot of fun doing it with them. I won't have to get too dirty or see too many bugs right?? :) I also would like to put together a nice sand box for them, even though they seem perfectly content playing in the dirt :)

Gilly Soose

Gracie's way of saying Silly Goose :)

(and yes, she is naked a lot - it's hard to get her to keep her clothes on, but I'm happy as long as her diaper stays on, so I consider this a win now :) )

Finger Painting

A while ago I was introduced to Pinterest by a good friend of mine and it is the most addicting thing!!! I love how many great ideas I have found on there. I found a recipe for homemade finger paints that I decided to try out and it was a big hit. The paint is a little watery so it soaked through the paper after a while, but it served its purpose - the kids had fun!!!

Farm

We decided to venture out of the house and enjoy the nice weather. I stopped by my work to show off my kids :) then picked up Mom and we went to the Farm. The kids hadn't been there in a while and they were very excited about all the animals.
