Our life in "Too Many Pictures"

Usually when the second baby comes you get less and less pictures.  Well I was so sad that I didn't get enough pictures of Addie when she was under 2 months so I think I've gone overboard with taking pictures of the both of them the past few weeks.  Oh well, at least I have them for now.  I just have to keep this up, but I'm gonna have to get an extra external hard drive just to put all these pictures on.


This is addie's new favorite thing to do...mow the grass with daddy.  When she hears the mower start up she gets upset that he's doing with without her.




Addison is looking like such a big girl.  I think it has a lot to do with Olivia being born, but I am excited for her to start having conversations with me.  (it's coming slowly but surly)



When this little girl was about 3weeks, she thought her fussy time should be around 9 when mommy was ready for bed, so daddy would take her until she fell asleep (which was around 11) and let me get some sleep. One night I couldn't sleep so I came out and found this.  It was a precious moment
My grandpa (pappa) got her this dress.  I think it's so cute and so does Allen, but he thinks she's ready to go to school for the day!!!  ha ha
One of our favorite things to to is sit on the porch, but not in the morning when the sun it hot but sometimes the little girl doesn't understand that.

Addison all of a sudden likes to pull your shirt up and look for belly buttons. 

I think she's hungry.  She's gonna eat my face. I laughed for awhile on this one.
My precious Livi at 5 weeks
Addie sure loved wearing this hat to match the overalls.

Livi is trying to roll.  She is also kicking her feet and thinking about sucking on her hands

Addie has to have her bunny and teddy bear all the time.  She can't sleep without them.
We spend a lot of time in my room on the bed watching movies and playing(Im getting my disney fill)
Addie is almost mastered putting on her shoes.  She sure loves trying.  Sometimes she sits in her room for 20 minutes trying and others she is crying for me in a matter of seconds because she can't get them on and has lost her patience. (which she doesn't have much of, so we take it when we can get it)

Life with two girls!

Wow, life just gets so busy with TWO (girls I might add..not always the most patient or able to entertain themselves very well...ha ha) and it's not always easy that's for sure!!!!.  I really have loved most of it though.   When I am having a bad day, All I have to do is look at my beautiful girls, and I know IT'S ALL WORTH IT.






















Here are some pictures of the girls together.  You can see as time goes by, they are liking each other better and better.  (okay they are getting use to the idea that they are going to be together for a long time!!!)

Olivia at 1 Month

I'm actually posting this at the same time as 2 months and I really don't remember all that much.  This is why I have to post in the moment or this happens.  Let this be a lesson to me!!!!  I have some pictures to post though so maybe I will remember some things while their loading.






















Livi sure loves to sit in her car seat.  She seems most content there.





















 She is starting to hold her head up really good



Her first bath was a shower at 3 weeks and loved it.  She almost goes to sleep when the warm water runs over her.  Oh course she got sponge baths the first two weeks until her cord fell off











 






















First day going back to church.  I take as long as I can with my newborns.  When people seem them they really aren't newborns anymore but that's kinda how I like it.  (to each his own)

Olivia at Two Weeks!!!



















Addison wanted to sit by livie and be covered up by her blanket too!!!




































When we went to the doctor 4 days after Olivia was born she dropped to 7 pounds 3 ounces which is very normal.  Well when we went Yesterday, Monday April 16th she was

Weight:  8 pounds 6 ounces
Height:  still 21 inches
Head:  13 inches

All I can say is we have a good eater on our hands; Seems like she's always hungry.  Don't get me wrong, mommy is so glad she's nursing.

Our life at 1 week
















Wow, I have two girls.  I love it so much.  Even though mommy might be sleep deprived and only has two hands, I think the adjustment period isn't going to bad.  Olivia is a sweet little spirit.  She makes these little sounds that just melts mommy's heart.  Addison seems to need me the most when I'm feeding her.  So, you should see it...both of them sitting on the rocking chair with me GETTiNG THEiR MOMMY TiME iN.  We have got to get a picture of this...so daddy needs to be home to take the picture and mommy needs to be decent to take a picture.(no white or bobbies showing...ha ha) She's a good baby, just trying to reverse night and day for her, cause she is really mixed up.  Wants to sleep all day and stay awake all night.  I don't remember Addie being this off.      


We finally got this little munchkin dressed today.  She's been in sleepers all of last week.

















Sun bathing!!  We have a bit of Jaundice and it's setting in on her eyes.  WE want it to go away










 



She's starting to like her binky a little.  She gags on it a bit because of her small mouth.













 



 She has bright eyes, Some days I think they might turn blue, but then other days I think brown.















Addie trying to dress herself.  Well she got the shorts on.  She's getting so big.

















We are twirling and dancing and I snapped this on her twirl around

















This face is, "where is my blanket mom?"

















She was watching Secretariat and needed her people around her.  AND MY  sonic drink.













How I love my sweet little girls.  Life wouldn't be the same without them.  I was talking to Allen the other night about it being a week with two girls and he said it felt like longer, kinda like forever, and I had to agree!!!!!!!!!!
