Visit to the Easter Bunny

THUMBS DOWN! Will Daley ever not fear this 7 ft bunny?!?!?! A.) I am so sick of being in the Easter pic and B.) this is Demi's first Easter pic!!!! I am ready for a kids only Easter pic.

It's not just the bunny though, it is all mascots/huge stuffed animals. We even told her it is not the real Easter Bunny, it is just a costume and it is just clothes and she said "Mommy but the clothes will touch me!" :( She is truly terrified though. She was screaming to the top of her lungs and her feet were pushing off my stomach. This picture really does not do the horror justice.

Oh well, maybe next year????

Demi's 1 Month Birthday

And the first day of Spring! Needless to say Daley enjoyed our Birthday visit to the playground more than Demi did, but it was fun to get out of the house since it was such a beautiful day. Daddy was able to spend the day with us too which is rare since we began our bonus room project. He has spent a lot of time up there and I am sure it will be great we he is finished and we are definitely appreciative of all his hard work, but we miss him too!

So far Demi is a little more alert and is having a little more awake time throughout the day. She is not near as noisy as she was her first week in our lives. I guess she has calmed down and gotten more used to her surroundings. She also has been smiling a little bit. :) Happy 1 month in our lives Demi! We all three love her so much!

Love,

Lindsey

Bath Time!

The pics are limited because my camera is full and I haven't gone to get the pictures printed out yet, so I can not delete them! :( We gave Demi her first bath! Her belly button has not fallen off yet so we can not submerge her, but that is probably a good thing because she didn't like it much anyway! See, she is extraordinarily loud when she cries for such a small person and this event was no exception.

This bath was actually a week or so ago, but her belly button has still not fallen off! I am ready for it to go since she is now 16 days old. We will post first REAL BATH pics as soon as it does. :)

It looks like she knew what was coming. :(

Poor Clean Demi!

Demi is here!

We are so excited to announce the arrival of our sweet baby girl Demi. She was born February 22, 2010 at 12:22 p.m. weighing 8lbs. 11oz. and measuring 21 and 1/2 inches long. We were very shocked at her size as Daley was the same length just at 7lbs 6 oz! I hope this does not speak to the increase in size in possible future children or we may have to reconsider!!!!


Demi is a joy thus far! She is a little on the noisy side, but we are all adjusting. Big Sister Daley is so proud. She calls her Demster! Cute!!! Zach called on the way home from picking Daley up from school yesterday and she ways yelling in the back ground "Don't worry Demster, we are almost there!" Daley is a handful on most days, but she has really put on her "Big Sister Pants" and been a great help. She likes to sleep in the room with us now has been the only issue. She does not seem to mind that the screaming baby keeps her up when she sleeps in there either. I tell her when she wakes up that she doesn't have to stay. She can go to her bed and not listen to the baby and she says no...she wants to sleep near her sister! Melts my heart!


I have posted some of my favorite pics below. Thank you to all our friends and family who have helped us out either with physically being here, sending gifts, bringing food, or simply offering kind words and words of encouragement. We appreciate all of you!


Love,

Showered With Gifts!

January 31st my dearest oldest friends threw Laura, Jamie and myself a joint baby shower to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our second children. Laura has a girl and is expecting a boy, I am expecting my second daughter and Jamie is expecting her second son. We are all so excited and it is a wonderful excuse to get together with those that are closest to us.

Snow February 2010

So.....doing a little catch up blogging today!!!! Wanted to post Daley's snow pics, even though it was a couple of weeks ago. She was really excited to be picked up from school early to come home and build a snowman with her Dad! She named him Frosty (original I know) :)
