Our Sporty Girl

Lindsay just finished her first basketball season.  The practices and "games" were painful to watch and I figured we were one and done for basketball.  However, as soon as the weather got nice Lindsay has started wanting to play basketball every time we go outside, after claiming that she did not like basketball!!  And she actually started teaching me some things about guards, forwards, etc.  Sneaky girl, looks like she liked it after all.  We may have a little athlete on our hands - hates crafts and dance class, but likes soccer and basketball!

Pampering already?

About a year or so ago, I won a gift at a bridal shower (I think it was Melissa's) and it was a spa bath kit.  It had bath salts, bubble bath, a nice poof ........and an eyemask.  

Yes, that is Paige, fast asleep, wearing my adult-sized eyemask.  She claims it helps her sleep.  How do I have these children who are so into beauty products??

Photo Shoot

We had fun with a little photo shoot this weekend to model Natalie's new hat.  Thank you Grandmom Davitt for the Babies R Us gift card!!

So many changes!!

So today was my final day of breastfeeding Natalie.  Although I was ready, it was bittersweet.  It always makes me sad when my babies were are longer dependent on just me to feed them.  But, I am so thankful to have made it at least 5 months.  I had wanted originally to go to six months but life was just getting in the way.  She is big and healthy and strong so it's all good!

She is officially a big girl now too because she started cereal today!  Most of it came back out and onto her clothes, which I think is fairly normal the first time, but she was DEFINITELY interested and tried to eat it.  She got frustrated quickly though - only a tiny bit was going into her mouth and she wanted her bottle!  LOL!  We'll try again when she is not so hungry.

P.S.  I have blogs scheduled to post a few times this week, so check back soon!!

Jar of Hearts

Both of my girls are fascinated with this song, but especially Paige.  She has asked me all about some of the words, particularly, Mommy, why does she say you're going to get a cold?  Why does she say, don't come back anymore?

This weekend she sang the same 4 lines about 200 times:

You're going to catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul, so don't come back for me, whoever you think you are.....

I will try and see if I can get a video of this.  It is priceless.

The whole gang!

And here they are....the whole gang!
