What's New


We've been spending a lot of time at home lately - in part due to the potty training and also the not-so-newborn who no longer naps in her car seat and needs to be home to get a good sleep! We've been coming up with new ways to have fun. Finger painting in the bathtub, sprinkler in the yard, and dump out all the toys and hide in the shelves are new favorite activities.


Stella has been working on her chins and grins. Chins - meaning she's gaining weight and filling out. Grins - well that's self-explanatory...just hard to capture on film!


The girls have their first "big girl" tricycles which they love! Another favorite activity is to ride the tricycles in the garage. It is a perfect compromise for me - I move the car out and shut the garage door so the girls have room to ride, but I don't have to worry about having to haul everyone inside if Stella wakes up/needs to nurse/etc. With the door down, I know they are safe but they still have plenty of room to ride - or run in circles...also a favorite past time. They'll ride for a bit, and then Addie will say, "Mina, park it there" and point authoritatively until Mina parks her tricycle and then they chase each other in circles in the garage! Hey - wear yourself out girls - one can always hope for a longer nap!
