Pantry Raid

I saw the Pantry Raid post on another blog & had the idea that people would like to see my pantry too!

The very bottom row has misc items like paper towels, lunch bags, aluminum pans.

Flu vaccine

After dropping Addy off at MDO yesterday, I went to get my flu vaccine like I promised her I would.  Me & Baby Isa went to the CVS Minute Clinic & literally a minute later we were headed back home.  I didn't realize how sore my arm was until it was nap time & I laid down!  OUCH!  This morning it's still sore, but not like it was yesterday.  Please remember to get your flu vaccine!

Yesterday, Addy didn't want to stay at MDO & I was so close to just bringing her back home with me!  It broke my heart to see her cry.  I almost went to get her 100 times, but talked myself out of it.  She needs to learn to adapt to change & make new social circles, etc.  This is a new class & she only knows 2 babies from last school year.  When I picked her up she told me all about her day & the things she did like playing outside, blocks, coloring.  It was so sweet to hear her talk about everything.  She didn't nap again, but once I got her home she was more than ready to get in her crib.

This is how I greeted Addy this morning when she woke up!  

I put Alyssa in the crib with her :)

I'm determined to get more pictures of these two - together!

Sometimes Addy is into Alyssa & other times she's not.  Today, she was NOT!

Baby Isa loves to smile!

2 Months Old

Today we celebrate the birth of Baby Isa!  It was a whole 2 months ago that another miracle happened & we were blessed with another daughter!  Baby Isa is growing & doing new things daily.  She pays more attention to Addison & Buddy now.  She will watch them play like she wants to join in too!  I introduced her to the mirror recently & she LOVES to look at that 'other' baby!  It's so sweet to watch her study herself.  Tummy Time is still a work in progress!  I'm sure some babies never do Tummy Time & develop just fine.

Alyssa

Addison

This morning I had to take Addy to get her flu vaccine.  I was a little nervous taking both girls out & to the dr office, but it went just fine.  When we got there Addy didn't want to walk in the office, so I had to carry her AND the infant seat that was holding Baby Isa!  You seriously don't know your own strength until times like these!  LOL  Addy weighs 29lbs & is 35 inches tall.  We were put in the Sesame Street room while waiting for the nurse.  All of the decorations kept Addy occupied & Baby Isa slept the whole time.  The shot took 2 seconds & then it was over.  She never saw it coming.  Afterwards, I got her off the bed to leave & she stopped, raised her dress up & was looking to see what in the world happened to her leg.  It was pretty cute!  Oh, then she got a sucker.

She had no idea that a needle was waiting right around the corner for her!

Sicky Icky

I've been going downhill since I had Mastitis a few weeks ago & am now on my 2nd round of antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection!  Hopefully, these antibiotics are strong enough to knock out whatever I have!

To add to me being sick, Addy woke up yesterday morning with a fever.  We alternated Tylenol & ibuprofen all day to fight off the fever.  This morning no fever, but I still gave her a does of meds & will watch her today.  She doesn't have any symptoms other than fever.  Not surprising since she started MDO last week!  Hopefully, Baby Isa will not get sick anytime soon!

Addy's ready for the hurricanes! 

(I'm ready for a Hurricane drank)

She loves drawing on the easel!  

It's a 'must have' toy for toddlers in my opinion!

Our little Baby Isa is growing every second!  

I can't believe she will be 2 months old tomorrow!  

Slow down time, slow down!

Showing off her fashion for the US Open 2010 Tennis!

First Day of MDO 2010-2011

**I forgot about the picture I took of her falling asleep in the highchair 

during dinner & just added it below** Enjoy!

Addison started MDO!  She's moved up from the nursery to the 2-3 year old class.  I hung around and was THAT parent this morning.  Just asking a million questions, watching the teacher interact with babies, watching babies interact with each other.  After 45 minutes I convinced myself it was time to go!  However, after I got home I had some concerns about how bathroom breaks would be handled, so I called the director.  There are 10 kids in the class & all are in diapers except Addison & her BFF Maggie.  I was worried about how the teacher would get them to the bathroom, etc.  The director reassured me that there is a bathroom connected to the classroom & she had just come from checking on the class & the girls had already went to the bathroom once.  It just doesn't make sense to me that the classes aren't separated by who's potty-trained & who isn't.  Oh well, I'm not the director :(

Someone was clowning when I was trying to take a picture!

Addison had a great day at school without any potty accidents, so she got a sucker!  

However, she didn't take a nap & was out of control by 5pm!  During dinner she fell asleep & I was thrilled!

Labor Day

We spent the day playing in the rain, eating ice cream, napping & making pizza!

Alyssa did some laboring too.  I've been on 'poop watch' again waiting for that glorious poopy diaper!  It's been a week!  Well, wouldn't you know, same time one week later, she poops!  I guess from now on I shouldn't worry unless she goes past the one week mark.  Although, it's perfectly normal for a breastfed baby to yada yada yada!  I know, I know.  POOP & POOP

It's Tiger Season again & our girls have the team spirit!

After watching an episode of Toddlers & Tiaras....

Need to do better!

I've got to start blogging more!  There are so many things to blog about, I just usually forget about them by the time I get around to blogging!

Alyssa is growing too fast!  A friend told me to look out because the 2nd child grows even faster than the first.  She wasn't joking either! 

Someone's sleeping during Tummy Time!

Alyssa doesn't like tummy time AT ALL!  She either cries or goes to sleep!

We've been trying to make these cupcakes for 2 weeks!  Life is unpredictable right now with a new baby, so it's really hard to plan something & then follow through with the plan.  The moon & starts aligned on this day & we managed to whip up some cupcakes!

We were sure to include baby Isa too :)  She was our supervisor!

Geaux Tigers!
