Day 10 - Weekly photos part 2

Time again for our weekly photos! Declan wanted to be first this time. What a little ham.

Sometimes I look at him and see who he is going to be when he's grown up. He's growing so fast!

It's hard to believe that Scarlet has only been with us for 10 weeks. I feel like I've know here forever. She's such a sweetheart.

I don't think it's possible to love my children more than I do today but I know I'll love them even more tomorrow

Day 9 - Tummy Time

Tummy time isn't the most popular thing in our household at the moment but my brother and sister in law bought this neat contraption to help out with keeping Scarlet's head beautiful!
She can swing her body around and play with all the different toys attached to the mat. She has managed to turn herself halfway around once when she was pissed about the whole situation and the toys make her giggle. Baby giggles are a beautiful sound!!

Day 8 - Passport Photo

I took Scarlet to get her passport photo this morning. I went as soon as she woke up so she would be bright eyed and bushy tailed!
Last night I stopped at the photo studio to ask if they had any advice for a 2 month old photo and she recommended that I put her in a 2 piece outfit so I could have my hands under her shirt to prop her up. It worked! We managed to get it done in the first shot...............but.................my poor baby looks like she was arrested! Oh well, at least she's not smiling ;) Off to the passport office in the morning.

Day 7 - bedtime

I'm not feeling the best today so I'll make this quick.....
Here's a pic of my little man before going to sleep in his Thomas bed with his Thomas books.

Day 6 - Heading South

We're planning a trip to go down south next month. I think we'll probably go to the Dominican again. Still trying to find the best all inclusive resort for the kiddies...well mostly Declan. I have to get Scarlet's photo taken asap and get the passport application to the office this week. Hopefully the turnover time is still as fast as it was last spring (1 week)
I'm crossing my fingers that some of Declan's summer clothes still fit him from last year. Scarlet will need some clothes as well but a mommy friend has offered to lend me her daughter's stuff from last year.
Yesterday I went to the fabric store and picked up a pattern and fabric to make a sweet little outfit for Scarlet. I'm hoping to start today!
Now I just need to order a solarveil sling to protect Scarlet from the sun!

Day 5 - Snow

Declan and daddy did some shoveling this afternoon after naptime. This is the first time Declan has had his entire new snowsuit on. He's so cute and getting very good at shoveling!

P.S. I took my Christmas tree down today!
