Pajama Days

Wednesday and Thursday were pajama days at Lily's school.  She picked out two pairs of Hello Kitty nightgowns to wear and I added some leggings to keep her warm.  I loved pajama day when I was in school and I love it just as much now -- so easy to get ready in the morning!

I wanted to get Lily's picture before we left for school, but she wanted to take it with Danielle too.

I love how the have the same expression on their faces.

Wednesday!

Thursday!

More "New" Toys

Danielle is loving sitting up and playing with all her toys now.  So we keep bringing out new ones and making her day.  This week we dragged out the house that Santa bought for her.  It is a little too big and she will definitely enjoy it more as she can crawl and stand, but she is having fun checking it out and watching Lily play with it.  I think it Lily's new favorite toy.

She reminded me SO much of Lily today since she was wearing one of Lily's favorite pajamas.  Lily wore those a lot, and I remember them more than others.  Even Chip remember those cute stripped pjs.

6 Month Stats

Danielle had her 6 month well visit today.  Everything looks perfect.  She is still a skinny mini, but growing at the same rate across the board. She is meeting all the expected milestones.  She is a perfect little 5 months old.  Plus, we got confirmation that her ear infection was all cleared up.   Her official stats are:

Weight:  14lbs 14.1ozs -- 25%
Length: 26 inches -- 56%
Head: 17inches -- 68%

Saturday Play Day!

Saturday we had a lazy morning in bed and Lily introduced Danielle to the ipad! It was such a sweet moment.  Dani was mesmorized and loved it.  She even managed to correctly play some of the games.  Of course, now we have to keep it way out of reach since she just wants to get her little hands on it.  It may come in handy when I want to get her to crawl -- I think she'd figure out a way to craw today just to get that ipad!

Then Saturday afternoon I got a makeover from Lily's salon!  It was a fun play day at home!

6 Months Old!!

On Friday my baby turned 6 months old.  I really can't believe it. It is so bittersweet.  But it is fun watching her grow up, especially lately as more aspects of her personality are starting to show.  She is silly.  She dances whenever she hears music. She loves to laugh and smile and scream with glee.  She absolutely adores her big sister.  She is constantly opening her mouth wide to give me big kisses!  I LOVE that.  She probably does that just to me since I pretty much spend all day kissing on her cheeks.  There really aren't any words to describe how special she is to us.  She is perfect for this family.  Literally about 15 pounds of perfection and we all just love her so much!

I am going to have Rhiannon take her picture and family pictures at the Arboretum as soon as the weather gets better and the spring flowers are blooming.  So until then, I went ahead and took her 6 month pictures on the 17th -- her official 6 month birthday!  Here are some of my favorites out of the 400 I took:

 

Some I edited in Lightroom, but not all of them.  There are just too many cute ones -- that is the problem when you are super cute!

I know these are a little over exposed and need to be edited -- I think the sun came out from behind the clouds and messed with my settings!  :)

And the 6 month picture with the boppy and the lamb!

Lunch Date

Lily has been asking me for sometime if we can go out to lunch.  I've been meaning to, but Danielle has been sick and it just hasn't worked out.  But on Thursday Danielle was napping during Lily's pick up time from school, so instead of having my Mom get Lily, I had her come here to sit with Danielle while I took Lily to lunch.  As soon as she got in the car and realized that Danielle wasn't there she said "Can we go to lunch?!!"  And she didn't even hesitate when I asked her where she wanted to go -- "BJ's!", her favorite!

It was a great lunch.  We talked, told jokes and I had some nice quality time with my favorite 5 year old.

Tasting ice tea for the first time!  She said she liked it, but didn't want anymore. :)

 

Eating her mini pizookie!

Once we got home Lily wanted to play with Grandma before Grandma had to leave.  Lily actually talked her into playing Mario Kart!

It was cute and really made Lily's day!
