Life in Pictures

  I can't really remember all that's happened since I last posted. So I looked through our camera and decided to let the pictures do the talking.

Baby Z found Baby J's crayons and liked the taste of them.

 J took Baby J out for a while one morning so the girls could stay sleeping for little while.

They went mini-wheeling...

 and big wheeling!

 Baby J loved it!

 I bought an AC DC onesie for Baby J which now fits Baby Z. Doesn't she look like a business woman?

 "Give this to marketing please"

 Baby J wanted to try pickles with his daddy.

 They were very yummy!

 Baby Z can now pull herself up to things and loves to grab everything. Here she is with her victorious spoils, augratin potatoes.

 I put a video on the computer for Baby Z while I ran into the other room real quick. When I returned I found them like this. So cute!

 I just love this picture

Cuteness

 I was looking through my camera and found these cute pictures of the kids.

Baby Z with her new, and improved pigtails

She loves Baby J's Cookie Monster piano.



Aah... a good look at the disaster our house has become. Baby J loves those pink sunglasses and Baby Z is our princess!

He liked the tiara, too!

I know... cuteness!

When I found this, I had to get it!

Doesn't she look like a tiny flapper?

 

Baby Z (like Baby J) quickly out grew the new born car seat and would cry whenever we drove anywhere. So we got her a big girl car seat. I always said I would only get gender neutral big things, but since they both need to be in big boosters we figured might as well get a girly one. This brand works great and is inexpensive but has NO cushion what-so-ever. So I bought some foam and stuffed them. Car rides are so much funner for the the whole family!

The Totally Awesome Park

     Early in March we had some rather warm days. On one particularly sunny day we decided to take the kids back to Veteran's Memorial Park to play.

 Baby Z sure liked the swings.

 Baby J preferred walking around. He made sure never to step on that cold white stuff.

 He is a boy through and through. He loves steering wheels and honking horns.

 Momma and daughter swinging together.

 We finally got Baby J into a swing and he remembered how much fun it is!

The Most Beautiful Kids in the World

     Since the day I found out I was pregnant with  Baby Z, I have been trying to find a big brother shirt/onesie that I approve of. The first thing I found out was that nobody makes a brother shirt or onesie that will fit a four month old. The second think I found was that all the shirts I COULD find were too feminine for my taste. Finally, after a year of looking, I found a shirt I could have my little boy sport.

 It truly is impossible for me to get a good picture of both my children, together.

 My cheesy boy.

Four Months and More

    I have realized that I haven't blogged about some of the fun that's been going on around here.
Baby J has been talking more and more. His most common phrases are: "Hi," "Uh Oh," "Roarrr!" "I did it," and his theme song "Teekle, Teekle."
     We finally got Sam's Club memberships. I've taken the kids by myself several times and Baby J loves the free samples. Baby J doesn't care what they're handing him. He will eat it with a smile on his face.
    Baby Z officially turned four months on the 8th. She is such a fun addition to our family. It's so interesting to see the difference between Baby J and Baby Z. Since day one, Baby Z has hated to be dirty. She gets upset when she has even the tiniest amount of urine in her diaper. Baby J would prefer to be dirty and messy all day.

The above is a picture of Baby Z in a nightgown that was mine when I was a baby! Isn't it so cute!

 Here she is smiling at something on TV.

   For Christmas, my in-laws gave Baby J this Cookie Monster that eats cookies. He grabs him by the eyes to open his mouth and then shoves the cookies...or nuts... or graham crackers, down Cookie Monster's throat.

 Now for some Baby Z stats:

Weight - 16 lb 6 oz (95%)

Length - 25.5 in (90%)

Head - 15.17 in (25%)

I will now end with a picture of cuteness.

 

Life

    It's crazy how busy life is with two babies and yet nothing seems to really happen.

    Baby J has started walking and subsequently climbing...everything.

    Here he is climbing up J and the couch so he can reach the picture frame (if he'd gotten his way he would have pulled down the picture).

    It is very difficult to get even a semi-decent picture of both kids

Here they are mid-November.

    We spent Thanksgiving with J's parents. There, we discovered that Baby J likes jello salad and ham.

    A couple months before Baby Z was born we bought a tandem stroller off KSL. It was horrible. I couldn't turn it with both kids in it. While Christmas shopping I came across this stroller and fell in love. I walked with it through out the store. I almost bought it then and there. Instead, I told J about it and he ordered it for me through Amazon for cheaper!



 

Baby J being silly

 

Sweet Baby Z on her first Christmas.

    That's all the exciting stuff, New Years Eve J had a gig so his parents offered to watch the kids all night. It was a nice, much needed break!

Two Months

     That's right, folks. Little Baby Z is two months old!
Baby Z is such a joy. She is very patient, but still likes to get her fair share of attention. She loves to be sat up and be a part of whatever is going on. Our little social butterfly!
Baby Z stats:
Weight - 11 lb 15 oz
Height - 22.5 inches
Head - 15 inches
She's in the 50th percentile all across the board. Next to Baby J she is still quite tiny!
