2 Months Old!

I know... time is going by WAY TOO FAST!!! Olivia is 2 months old already.

What Happens at Nana's...

In case you can't tell what Natalie is saying, she says
"What happens at Nana's, stays at Nana's"

That is what her jammie shirt says.
Nana & Papa bought it for her on their a trip to Las Vegas.

Play Mat

Drawing

Mr. Potato Head ...concentrating really hard :)

The Bumbo

I brought the Bumbo out today to try it because Olivia holds her head up so well. She sat in it very well and enjoyed it too.
Then her big sister had to try it too.

Cooing

First Smiles

Olivia is starting to smile pretty often.

She really does love Natalie's kisses... (even though this photo doesn't prove that to be true :)

Mother's Day

We were trying for a cute shot of me & the girls on Mother's Day, but it started raining just as we ran outside to take the picture. Oh well! This one is pretty cute anyway.

Saturday Morning

Mother's Day Tea

Natalie's preschool had a Mother's Day Tea. Unfortunately Natalie was sick for the whole week prior to this and didn't get to go to school at all so she didn't learn the songs they were singing very well, but she did try to sing with the group.

Natalie & her classmates singing for the Mom's
After they sang songs, we all had lunch. It was a nice celebration.

Things I Love About Being A Mom of TWO

• when Natalie wakes up the first thing she asks is "where's my baby disder?"
• Olivia is just starting to focus on faces and her favorite is Natalie's. She will stare at her for several minutes at a time.
• Natalie loves to "beep" Olivia's nose.
• When Olivia makes funny faces, Natalie thinks she is smiling at her.
• Natalie's favorite book to read to Olivia is "Who do you Love?" And, on each page Natalie gets to list who she loves. She almost always starts with Olivia.
• how Natalie thinks Olivia cooing & wiggling around is "so cute!"
• how she always wants to give her a hug and kiss.
• that Natalie loves to sing to her baby sissy.

This girl needs dance lessons

Just like her mommy, Natalie loves to dance. We went to the Ceres Street Faire this weekend and watched the performances from dancers of the local dance studios. When there was a break in between dances, Natalie got up and danced to the music in front of a lot of people. I think we will definitely be signing her up for dance classes this fall!

Baby Wiggles

What we do when she's awake...

...lay on the floor & watch her wiggle & listen to her "coo."

Beautiful Baby

stretching......and the "birdie mouth". Yes, Olivia does it too. Maybe it is a baby thing, or maybe it is just a Mariano baby thing. I don't know. But we think it's cute :)
...more stretching...

...look at that baby belly! Beautiful!
