Spring update!
Hello, all! Here are some pics from our walk this weekend. Alice loved taking her binoculars out and looking for animals. All we usually run into are dogs, but that is pretty exciting for her too! Dana was pumped for some fresh air and a ride on Daddy's back!



Alice showing off the stick she picked up. She had quite a fun time throwing sticks into a puddle. I will post the video shortly!

Dana had her 6 month check up last week. She is doing great! She's 18lbs 7oz and that puts her in the 90% for weight, 90% for height and 75% for had circumference. She is healthy and doing well with the introduction of solid foods. So far rice cereal and squash are big hits with her. We also have started offering her a sippy cup of water with her meals. So it's been an exciting time for little Dana!
Dana goes to the eye doctor tomorrow to check out her watery left eye. I'm hoping it's a quick fix and nothing to worry about. We'll keep you posted!
Love that big smile! She's pretty cute when she's happy - which is only some of the time these days. The teething is pretty tough for this one. She's having a much more difficult time than Alice did. We just purchased some orajel for home and school. Let's hope it does the trick and that this is a short lived discomfort!
Tea time with Alice and Dana! Not sure if this is a result of Alice's new obsession with Mary Poppins and the tea time scene described in her book. Either way, thought this was pretty cute! Especially when Alice started pouring tea into Dana's cup! What a good big sister!
Tea time turned into tackle time. Alice protested at first but then we convinced her that Dana was just trying to give her a big hug and she warmed up to having her sister crawl all over her! Dana is still a little too young to actually 'play' with Alice so watching this kind of interaction was fun for me! Looking forward to lots of entertaining sister moments ahead!

"There's a banana in my ear!" Someone has been playing too much with the Elmo App on Mommy's ipad!!!

Spring Break...
We survived. The team went 4-0, Reeves took his last immersion course and Grandma Sue had her hands full with Dana and Alice. We all managed to get through this crazy week which felt like a major accomplishment by the end of it! I'm hopeful that it will be smoother sailing ahead, as we get into the 'routine' part of the season with regular practice times and a steady schedule of games. Here are just a few photos from this weekend. Alice is sporting her first Trinity Lacrosse shirt and Dana tried squash for the first time! Surprise, surprise - she seemed to enjoy it!

Weekend fun!
Dana and Alice are doing very well! Dana has two bottom teeth coming in which has led to some unhappiness at times but overall, I'm just floored with how she continues to grow! Time seems to be flying by! Lately, Dana is obsessed with her jumperoo! It's a great development for me, as it helped ease my morning duties. I can plop her in and she's happy jumping until it's time to go! In fact, she likes to jump so much, she'll jump in your arms as you play with her on the floor. It's very funny! I was a little obsessed myself, capturing Dana on film in her jumperoo. I just cannot get enough of this chubby little girl!




Dana is also getting more adept at sitting up on her own. Generally, she needs a boppy pillow surrounding her, but still, she's coming along. Another milestone that makes me wonder where the time has gone!


We had a nice weekend. The weather has been incredible. We went for a walk in the woods where Alice was looking to find animals - specifically Bambi. We didn't find Bambi on that walk but we did have four Deer visit our backyard the next morning. Alice told us that it was Bambi with his Mom and brother and sister. Nice little family! Below is a pic of the girls before our walk. Big crazy week coming up with Reeves taking an immersion course and me leaving for spring break. We are excited for the arrival of Grandma Sue!!

SNOW and rice cereal
So we had an early dismissal yesterday due to the weather. A snowy afternoon was very exciting for Alice and very depressing for her mother's team (ugh). But I did enjoy running around outside with Alice. We made a snow man and walked in the woods. Alice probably caught 200 snowflakes in her mouth. That was by far her favorite thing to do.

Alice really wanted to help feed Dana her rice cereal. She had been talking about it all day. It was very exciting for her. She did a few celebration moves after a couple successful bites. She's a pretty great big sister!
