Our Little Coo Machine

This little girl is such a smiling cooing machine! Her favorite thing is to sit on our laps in the sitting position just cooing away and giggling to herself between each smile. It's absolutely adorable. Leo of course eats it up also, he has watched us pick up Lily out of her bouncy numerous times now that he thinks it is his job now to "pick" her up when she is fussy and "sshhh" her, such a good big brother! 

Look who can sit up all on her own!

Trying to cuddle

Lily was not liking all this "closeness"

Daddy's Home! 

Lily is changing daily and it always amazes me how fast time fly's. She has quickly grown out of her "sleeping all day" phase and now is getting into her routine. She still wakes up around 5am to eat but quickly falls back into sleepy land and then wakes up around for the day around 8am. She will relax in her bouncy for the majority of the morning kicking and flaring her legs and arms while I feed Leo his breakfast and get things started for the day. She does like her mommy time that's for sure! She will quickly calm down when she is held close and rocked. Leo of course it not too far way, he usually doesn't show too many signs of jelousy except when he is tired for a nap and then he decides to climb all over us whispering "mama mama mama" that's when I know its nap time for little man!

BIG smile

Not very matchy matchy that day

With the colder weather coming up I feel my mama bear instincts kicking in and I want to stock up on everything I can think of. Last winter I  barely got out with one baby, what on earth am I going to do with two babies!? That is why I am thankful for my amazing husband who is a huge help in his own way after he has worked his long hours at the clinic.

Leo has picked up some more everyday words his newest ones are:


Grandpa "gmmpa" 
Jemima "mima" (our cat)
Good Girl "goo guuurrl" (said to the dogs) 
Thank you "Dank you" 
Turtle he says this one very clear!
Bible very clear also!


I turned the big 2-6 yesterday...getting old! Mike and I went to a very lovely dinner at Mike's Wine dive and we went and saw J. Edgar. I forgot my camera at home so no pictures to go along with this but just it was a celebration still!  The only picture I have to show for my birthday is one I took of the kids first thing in the morning...

yep, they were excited...can you tell?

More stories to come later...Lily is requesting a nice warm bottle.
