This Week in Outfits

Here are some of our outfits from this week!  A few days she wore outfits that I have already gotten pictures of, so no need to document them again!

Last Sunday Lily went to Luke's birthday party at a local bounce place and Danielle wore this dress that used to belong to Lily.

Wednesday all ready to take Lily to dance:


This Sunday Lily was invited to Christie's Smurf party and everyone was encourage to wear blue. Dani wore this outfit that was Lily's:

And Lily looked super cute in her new little blue dress:


Lazy Sunday

Last Sunday morning was a lazy Sunday morning.  Danielle sat nearby and played while Lily and I played with play doh for hours.

St Patrick's Day

On St Patrick's Day Lily, Danielle and I met up with Rhiannon, Carys and Abby at a nearby outdoor shopping area where they were having all kinds of Irish festivities.  There was music, ice cream, face painting, etc.  Rhiannon's sister was there with friends and had a table at a restaurant right on the green, so we all sat there and watched the girls play and dance.  It was a nice outing and a fun way to celebrate!

In the evening, after the kids went to bed I went out to Top Golf to celebrate with my friends.  Chip couldn't come out since he has a big test on Monday to study for.  But we had fun -- it is always great to get out with friends.  In fact, we have gotten pretty good and stepped out Mom's Night Out from once a month to almost weekly (sometimes bi-weekly!).

All we had was a camera phone, but it is better than nothing!

7 Months Old

 
My little leprechaun turned 7 months old on St. Patrick's Day!  Lily got this dress as a gift from Chip's Aunt Terry when she was a baby, and it was perfect for Danielle's 7 month pictures.  I can not believe she is 7 months old.  She is still perfect and such a good baby.  Her naps are still erratic at best and not very long -- hopefully she gets better at napping soon.  But otherwise she is the happiest little baby.  She adores her sister and loves to play with her toys, play Pat-A-Cake, and dance to music.  She truly is a joy and we all love her so much!




Princess Danielle

Lily dressed Danielle up as a princess.  They were both pretty proud!



This Week in Outfits

This is quickly becoming my favorite pastime -- taking pictures of Danielle in her cute outfits! :)  Here are the pictures from this week.  It was Spring Break, but it was actually pretty uneventful.  Lily was bored, but it was nice to play and home and relax some!

From last Sunday night. We went to Rhiannon's parents house for their weekly 'Family Dinner':


On Tuesday, after the Arboretum:

This outfit was once Lily's.

Thursday we took an outing to get frozen yogurt and Danielle wore another of Lily's hand-me-downs:





On Friday, we had some errands to run.  Lily picked this outfit for Danielle before she was born and has asked that I keep her for her kids. (Lily is JUST like me when it comes to attaching sentimental value to things).  This will probably be the last time Dani gets to wear it since it is size 3 months and she is getting too tall for it:




I love that face SOOO much!

Arboretum

This week was Spring Break for Lily and Chip, so on Monday morning we all went to the Arboretum to meet Rhiannon so she could take family pictures and pics of the girls.  I don't have any official pictures from the photo shoot yet, but while we were waiting, I snapped some pictures of Lily in front of the tulips.  It was a sunny morning, so it was hard to get a good picture -- that is why I left it up to the professional!!






Then on Tuesday we went back to the Arboretum with Rhiannon, Matthew, Carys, Abby, Carrie, Logan, Summer and Rhiannon's Mom, Elan and Grandma!  It was a really nice day and the kids had a blast running around and playing.

Danielle has been trying to sit up in her infant carrier, so I brought out the big girl stroller attachment for the first time.  I think she liked it!  I was a little apprehensive about her taking a nap without her infant carrier, but later in the afternoon when she was clearly exhausted, I just reclined the seat and she fell right to sleep!  It was awesome.

Danielle and Abby are SO cute together.  Abby can almost say Dani and tries to play with her, give her hugs and high fives.  It will be so much fun when Danielle gets just a little older!

Both days at the Arboretum were fun!  It was nice to get out and get some fresh air and enjoy the nice Spring weather.

Ipad

Danielle LOVES playing on the ipad!!  I got her the Fisher Price apps (yes, Fisher Price makes free apps just for kids Danielle's age) and she gets so excited to play and dance.  It is so cute!  We usually play with it in bed when we wake up before everyone else.  It is our quiet snuggle and play time. 

Random Silliness

I found this picture from last week on my phone and had to post it -- it is the silliest picture of Lily with an Easter basket on her head as she is rocking out.  What a goober!!
