Visiting the Great Aunt & Uncles

After school today we went to visit Tia Mary and Tio Al. They were very busy working but we were able to spend some quality time with them anyways. Julianna enjoyed meeting them for the first time and I think they enjoyed meeting her. Hopefully after April 15th, we can see them a little more often.

Trip to the park

After school today we went to have lunch with Cecila and Sofia and then headed on over to the park. The girls had fun but we are now noticing that Tamara is beginning to act differently. She is becoming a little more needy and whinny ever since Julianna was born. I guess this is what they mean by the kids acting out when a newborn comes into the home.

The only picture they would let me take of them together.

Playdate

After going to a "Fancy Nancy" storytime at the library we came home and enjoyed the company of Sofia and Cecilia. The girls had a nice time playing and the adults had a nice time talking. Thank you guys for coming over and helping us out. We appreciate it more than you know, thank goodness for great friends.

Here is one where she is not crying.

First real bath for Abue's birthday

After only having sponge baths, Julianna took her first real bath (in the
bathroom sink) and she hated it but she did it for her Abue. She had to smell pretty for her Abue's birthday dinner.


Lots of crying.

Happy birthday Ma & Abue!

Life is good.

So far, life with two kids is a lot of fun. We are lucky the Tamara has adjusted well to her new little sister and shows no signs of jealousy. She calls her her baby and says that she is very cute. Our job is to keep it that way by spending equal time with both of them. So far so good.


Tamara and I spent a few hours outside gardening while Julianna slept.




Its hard to get pictures of Julianna with her eyes open since she sleeps so much. So here is one.

Our bedtime routine, take a bath, brush teeth, use the restroom, put on PJs, put about 20 stuffed animals on the bed, read 3 books and say bedtime prayers.

Tamara starts Karate

So Tamara found a sport that she likes, Karate. She took her first class today and loved it. She enjoyed learning her front kicks, side kicks and roundhouse kicks. Watch out!

2 week doctor visit

Julianna went to her 2 week doctor visit today. She is doing great. She weighed in at 5 pounds 12 ounces (one ounce over her birth weight which is great) and measures 20 1/2 inches in length. She is growing well and the doctor was very impressed. No shots yet so this was an easy visit.

All done.
