Saturday Marley was invited to the birthday party of our neighbour's son who turned 6. It was held at the cooking school at Loblaws. She got to make her own pizza, fruit kabob and decorate 6 cupcakes which she was able to take home. It was such a blast and she was so excited (as was I) to have cupcakes to enjoy later.
I'm so glad I had a 2nd child for one reason: now I know what its like to have an "easy" baby. I had heard about the phenomenon during my sleepless nights with Marley but now those dreams have become a reality for me. My baby Sunday knows how to sleep and eat! She can almost sleep through the night (usually just waking once or twice max) and doesnt need to be rocked, breastfed or otherwise induced to go to bed. I can literally put her down awake with her pacifier and she's out a few minutes later. Perhaps a few moments of fussing but nothing compared to the hour of bouncing, feeding and rocking I would have to do for Marley.
Thank goodness!
This is Gerwyn in his new glasses. He came home in them the other day and I was quite shocked at how much they changed his appearance! He looks like such an intellectual! Good thing I love geeks!
Here's a pic from the annual Kentucky Fried Chicken party that has become tradition at our house on this day. My husband turned a year older, our waistlines grew an inch wider and we all had a happy birthday party!
Hope everyone had a great new year's! We are looking forward to seeing our little ladies grow up in 2014. I am so amazed at how independent Marley has already become. She is able to go to the bathroom and pick out her clothes and get dressed all by herself. Her little sister is just getting the hang of holding her head up on her own and can now smile at me (on purpose!)
Wishing everyone a year filled with lots of love and joy. Here's to 2014!
Someone is just learning to laugh and giggle. Makes up for the screeching and screaming that usually comes later on.
Here's the only pic I took from our family party at my brother's house. Tons of food, tons of presents for the kids (it was mayhem!) And tons of fun playing our annual steal gift game.
