Sunshine fun + Grammy and Gramps!

Howdy,

So we have been exploring new parks and our front yard. I pretty much stick all the kids and the dogs in the front yard any time I see sunshine. They patrol the yard and J runs around like a nut. We practice bike riding, chalk, gardening, cartwheels, etc you name it. We also found a new park and met a wonderful random family that was Danish but just moved from WA! What are the odds :)

Here are some fun moments. Don't worry baby stays out of the sun so she won't get burnt but she is strategically placed to be in all the fun!!



Im jazzed about this climbing wall. The boulderite in me can't wait to teach J more about climbing!!



We also had a fabulous visit from Grammy and Gramps! They sure know how to bring the fun. Gramps helped build an amazing closet and Grammy was the baby whisperer :)







Well we are almost off to Wheaton! Can't wait :)

And I leave you with some feet and hat fun!

Adelina 3 months old

Hey guys!

So I'm 3 months old now 3/26 wahoo! I am still in size one diapers but the days are limited for that. I wear size 0-3 mo in clothes, but my mom thinks I'll be wearing 3-6 mo soon. I weigh 12-13 lbs. I typically wake up 1-2 times in the night. I'm still using a swaddle to sleep, but may not for much longer! I have napped in my big girl crib, but I'm still a fan of my cool rocker. I really like to look around, my head strength is pretty awesome, and I'm liking tummy time more and more. My play mat is still the bees knees!

Check me out on my photo shoot with my mermaid! (Sorry for the shadows on the face. Didn't realize the date till later in the afternoon oops!)







Later in the day, it was warm out so we went outside to spoof up the yard and climb some trees!





On Friday, we checked out our local Irish pub and it was yummy!! Jocelyn was a big fan. 


Saturday we did more gardening. Tulips are sprouting!! No pics yet but the girls had fun in the sun bundled up. It was chilly out so eventually they came in. Check out Lina practicing sitting up!



Till next time! 😋

Team AJ

Howdy,

Here is a recap of last week and earlier this week :) 

J's favorite thing is to greet wee Lina in the morning. They are pretty good friends these two. Jocelyn is very much into her ponies and is gearing up to celebrate turning 4, yes FOUR, with a my little pony bday :) 




Lina is growing wonderfully, follows us with her eyes like a hawk, lights up when J talks to her, and is getting some great side strength. She doesn't sit up yet, too small of course, but she seems to like moving and a groovin' like her sis did. 




J has been sticking with gymnastics so far since the start of the year. We are debating if we should try other sports or not. Thoughts/input? Here she is jumping into the foam pit :)


Oh yes and last week we got our first real hair cut. I usually just trim the curls, but we were starting to get a mullet so it had to go. She had a good time and scored 2 lollipops from the hair salon.


Here are some fun shots just goofing around with the girls.



Starting Lina off with her tutu :) J was proud. Dogs came to inspect the play may fun.


We also like staring at this birdie mobile!



Later in the week, we were visited by our Auntie Alli and her mama. Thanks for the awesome gifts :) We love our Alli and her baby girl that's on the way!




Well, our little girls are already growing up fast. I'm a bit behind on posting, but our Adelina is soon to be 3 months old!



Her favs are still making bubbles, smiles and now she likes to grab things a lot. Beware of your hair, glasses and jewelry! :)

Irish hello!

Hey guys :) 

So my last post froze on the upload so sorry these are all coming at once. But Hope you guys had a good St. Patty's Day. We had a fun day that started off with a yummy breakfast with some Irish cheese, played the Pandora suggested play list for the holiday, and later for dinner we had our family tradition of eating Guiness corned beef from the crockpot. It's so good! 

The girls had a great day. Adelina is trying to sleep more for mom and J is being a pretty good helper these days too! Thanks Aunt Marian, Mom Mom and Pop Pop for this onesie years ago for J that our little one is borrowing. Some of us are still in our pjs hehe.







Those cheeks!! Next year Adelina can enjoy the feast.


We hit up the park briefly with our buddy Ben, and I had to capture this fun moment of them loving the hill. I joke this is her little boyfriend. He is a sweetheart. 


Take care everyone!

Hoot hoot

Hello family and friends!

We are happy clams out here. Here is a recap of last week that I forgot to post.

Jocelyn told me today that she has to be sure not to use up all the Kleenex because the Lorax would not be happy! Ha :) He speaks for the trees and he wouldn't be happy if we were wasting tree products. She had a dad/'s day breakfast at school and said she loves daddy because he shares candy with her. Ha! She is also really getting her bike down.

Adelina has really started to smile but mostly when she is being entertained by J or us. Here are some fun outfits and faces. She also likes to sit in the baby chairs and watch the chaos run by. She is really starting to focus on things, voices, and can entertain herself quite well! Tummy time is still not so fun.











I'll leave you with some monkey bum! And since its St. Patty's Day, more green ladies coming your way.
