Messy face and bath time


Bella with her Uncle Ronnie after getting into the chocolate pudding!


Love that face!

The girls first bath together. Lexi is not able to sit up on her own yet but I had found this bath seat at the best baby consignment store ever, Twinkle Twinkle! It does not fit our tub right though so I may have to take it back. She is just way too big for the newborn tub and hard and wiggly to bath with no support. But I love how she stares at her big sister Bella, with such admiration. Then again, she stares at the dogs the same way...

Sisters


Last night was a rare moment for my girls. Bella is usually too busy playing to pay much mind to her sister but last night she laid next to her and played together for a few minutes. When she is not too busy being a curious 2 year old, she is being a jealous 2 year old. Her latest trick is yelling and hollering EVERY time her sister cries. She has been doing this for about a month solid now and it is driving me bananas! Nothing we have tried to do to stop it has worked. We tried time out, we tried ignoring it, we tried yelling at her, we tried paying more attention to her. Any one else have any advise or ideas?!?!



Lexi is growing so fast! My chunk-a-munk is 5 months old and weighing in at 20 lbs! She is bigger than her sister was but I am sure she will slim down as she gets older. The Chadwick side of the family just has big babies - thanks for that honey! She is teething like a fiend too - no teeth yet but man can she shove both her hands in that mouth!! And lets not even talk about the amounts of drool!



We took the girls for pictures at Olan Mills the other day - Mema gets a discount since she works there. Bella was not giving up the smiles for anything. So when we got home I asked her to smile and here it is! Better late than never I guess!
