Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's Day Daddy! We love you!!

This is what happens when Kylee doesn't take a bottle! Best Daddy Ever!!

So my good friend Jennie turned 30 and her husband planned a wine trip weekend n Austin. I knew about this trip before Kylee was born but decided just to go for the day since Kylee would only be 2 months old. I have been trying to give Kylee a bottle since she was about 3 or 4 weeks and she just wanted nothing to do with it. I had Chris, my mom and my neighbor try and no luck. I was going to cancel the trip when Chris said he woud figure out a way to feed her that day. This is how he fed her from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. He is AMAZING!! How many dads would feed their children from a medicine dropper??? They spent most of the day at my parents so they could help out with Olivia. They all had a great time and I was very thankful to spend a day with my good friends! It was a nice get away but I was glad to get home to see my baby girls and of course Chris.

For Father's day I made the girls matching shirts that said "Daddy's Girl" which we surprised him with as well as a round of golf with my dad and brother. I also thought I was being creative and bought him a nice bottle of wine from the Becker winery and Chris informed me he has had it before from HEB. But, he did make me feel better by saying it was better than what he had from HEB! We went to Double Dave's pizza for lunch and of course Olivia LOVED it! I think she was more excited than Chris. It was a great family day!!!

We love you!

Summer Fun!

Our Family June 6, 2011

Olivia and Kylee playing babies together!

We have been staying busy so far this summer. I started a work out group called Baby Boot camp where I take the girls and get a good work out and spend time with my two babies. Both girls do pretty good in the stroller but we have our times where we need a break. The other moms have kids around the same ages as Olivia and Kylee so it is nice to get to visit with the moms and Olivia get to play. We go to story time on Wednesdays and tomorrow Olivia starts the Little Gym. So until August we will be pretty busy over the summer.

Now that Kylee is getting older I am going to start potty training Olivia. I am going to wait until Chris takes his week of vacation to start so I have some help. It was very easy taking away the pacifier and putting her in a big girl bed but, I am thinking that potty training is going to be a little more difficult. Since I have been home, Olivia has really stated talking a lot more. We are so proud of her and it is making her seem so much more grown up. It is hard to believe that Olivia is already 2 1/2! She is so much fun and full of personality.

Our favorite line from Olivia, "Daddy fish pole." It is so cute to hear her say that. To bad that when Chris wants to take her fishing it better be some where the fish bite right away!!! She is not one to sit for very long!

Kylee is 2 months

I can't believe that it has been 2 months already! Kylee is growing so fast and already has so much personality. She is 13 pounds 11ounces and 24 inches long. She is smiling and cooing all the time and is such a great night time sleeper. As for a day time napper I can't comment since she doesn't really nap as much as little rests. Her head is very strong and she loves sitting up. She is not a big fan of tummy time but we work on it a little bit each day. It is weird looking at pictures of Olivia at this age. She was already balding! Kylee is not showing any signs of losing her hair but, it looks like it might come back lighter.  We are working on Kylee taking a bottle but like her sister it is not going well. It is so odd how Olivia was a soothie(pacifier) freak! She LOVED them!! Kylee wants nothing to do ANY type of pacifier. Kylee is very laid back and just kind of hangs out. The only time she cries is when she is tired, hungry or when mommy is not holding her. But, we are working on that. Chris and I are so very blessed and thankful for our girls! They are so amazing!

I am a lucky Momma!!!

Had to share these pictures because they are too cute! Kylee is wearing the tutu my mom made as well as the light box in the back.
The second is a picture of our big girl Olivia. Sadly, she just had a bath and we went outside to play for about 10 minutes and I turn around and see her face. I couldn't help but laugh! She is the son Chris never had but a very cute and sweet one!!! Needless to say she needed another bath that night!

I am a very lucky momma and so thankful for my two beautiful girls!!

A little behind

I am a little behind on getting pictures up. Kylee will be 6 weeks tomorrow and it is going by so fast! This is her 1 month photo. My mom found these stickers online for each month. I am going to do my best to keep taking her picture in this chair as she grows. It is actually Olivia's chair that Grandpa Bill and Emiko gave her but she is getting really good about sharing.

This Friday we all went and watched Tommy graduate from the University of Houston. We are very proud of him! Olivia and Kylee both did great at graduation. Olivia sat by my mom and sister and clapped for everyone and of course played on the phone. We then went to the Sam Houston Race Track for a cook off that my Uncle was cooking in. He has done it the past few years and it is fun. They had BBQ for dinner and of course Olivia had the ribs. She loves to eat Papa's(her name for my dad) ribs! She had a good time running around and got to have a cup cake for eating a good dinner. We have had cake so much lately that now she is asking for cake. 

Had to share this picture from the cook off. Olivia LOVES to eat ribs!!!

Olivia, Kylee and I have been going to story time at the library on Wednesdays. We went the first time with our neighbor and the past couple of weeks just the 3 of us. Olivia loves it and sings all the songs and listens to the stories. Last week, we stayed and read some books at the little tables. She is really into books which is great! We will start the Little gym in June and that lasts most of the summer. Kylee is such a trooper and just goes where we take her. Both of the girls are so sweet and Olivia is a great big sister!!!

Olivia's Frist Illness

Well, a little over 2 years and Olivia has had her first illness. She started having a low grade fever Sunday night and into Monday morning. When she got up from her nap it was 100.2. I was worried because she has never had a fever that high. I called the nurse and she said it could be an ear infection or strep. I told her that she has tubes and that we had seen the ENT about a month ago and she said they were perfect so I didn't think it was an ear infection. So, Tuesday morning we went to the doctor, all 3 of us and found out Olivia has strep. Then I worried because Kylee is just barely a month and Olivia had been huging and kissing on Kylee. Dr. Taylor said that it is unlikely that she would get strep but to watch for a fever, vomiting or not eating. Olivia is starting to feel better thank goodness and is acting like her happy self again.

This is my second week at home with the girls and I am loving every minute! We have been to story time at the library, hanging out with friends and swim lessons. I am going to sign Olivia up for the little gym again this summer since we had so much fun last year. I am one lucky momma!!!
