Cousins

Is this not the cutest face? She reminds me of a beaver in this pic! lol.

Later that same day we went to visit with our cousins, Megan and Joseph. They had the coolest little cart that the kids had a blast dragging each other around the house in. My cousin has the house I want to move into - it is so beautiful. I keep asking if we can move in with them and they keep laughing like I am joking.....

My Other "Babies"

These are my other babies - Lita and Roscoe. Lita is almost 8 years old and Roscoe is about 6 and a half. They are some adorable dogs even if I do wish my husband would let me shave Roscoe - he is one shedding freak. Drives me insane but gives me the motivation to clean my floors every day, otherwise they would be disgusting! And my girls sure do love them too.


This day I caught Lita laying in the dogs toy basket which is full of tennis balls, ropes, and bones. How comfortable is that? Guess it beats the tile floors though!

Back into the swing of things...almost

I need to get back into the swing of things. I have been a major slacker in the blog world. So tomorrow (maybe) I will catch up. I know, that's still procrastinating but I need to go to bed, I am too sleepy! I do have a question first, can anyone exlain in laymens terms these blog buttons? I want to know how to make my own and how to get others onto my page. I always see "add my button to your page" but I have no idea how......

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!

Easter Bunny

Well I waited until the last minute to take the girls to the mall to get their pic taken with the Easter Bunny. Last year I waited in line for about an hour so my procrastination worked out well this year, no lines! And as I was dressing Bella I found the matching one for Lexi, I did not even know I had a matching dress for them, so it was cute to see them dressed alike. Bella did not do so well with Santa so I tried to prep her before we went. I told her we were going to go see the Easter Bunny and she would get to sit on his lap with Lexi. She said to me, Bella sit, Santa? Funny how her memory is getting longer! She waved to him and let me put her on his lap with no fuss but when he tried to tickle her to get her to smile she grabbed his hand and pushed it off her! We could not get her to smile, she was no longer happy with the bunny after that! Lexi could have cared less, she was smilin away! We'll see how they both do again next year! That is if I can afford the bunny, he was pretty freakin expensive!
