Not enough hands...

Well, if you are a frequent visitor to my little blog, you'll notice that I did not post a family picture. It is now the end of the week and I have not taken a family picture. I was going to do it over the weekend and I want you to know I didn't pick up my camera at all!! I just can't hold Emily in one arm, hold Ivy's hand with another and still take pictures. I just don't have enough hands!!

So here are some things that Ivy says that I think are cute...

She says "miskers" for whiskers on a cat.

Our favorite Mexican restaurant is called the Mexaraunt.

When she puts her dirty clothes in the basket she jumps and says, "Be Scores!!". I have no idea where she got that or what it means. I wonder if it is "She scores!!". We've asked her about it and she just says, "it's be scores!". So who knows...

She has these star antenna things that are on a headband. She calls them her "bunnets". Again, I have no idea where she got that. We've tried to call them something else, something real, but she continues to call them what she wants.

And now for something on Emily... This past week she's had two nights of sleeping 7 hours!! They weren't two nights in a row but that's okay. I'll take what I can get. She usually sleeps 4-5 hours before she wakes up hungry. We had to go back to the pediatrician to get a prescription refill for her thrush medicine. It's this very sticky yellow liquid that supposedly tastes like tutti-frutti or something. I am supposed to give her 1ml in each cheek 4 times a day!! 4 times!! She ends up spitting half of it out but whatever, I'm doing my best. But they did check her weight and she was 12 pounds, 10.5 ounces. We go back for her official 2 month checkup December 1st.

Adding Emily...

Richard sent me an email today asking if I could be sure to add Emily's name on our blog where it shows our name (before it said Richard, Jamie & Ivy). He also wanted to know about changing our family picture to one that included Emily. We don't have one!! She is 6 weeks old and we haven't taken one picture together as a whole family. That is on my to-do list for this weekend. Hopefully we can get a good one - and that means no kids crying (sleeping is fine) and everyone at least facing the camera. Wish me luck on that one!! :)

Playground Fun

We went to a playground yesterday and met up with some of the other Moms and kids from Ivy's preschool class...

Demolition Derby and Halloween


Sorry it has been so long since my last post... If Emily is awake, she wants to be held or fed. If she's awake and not doing either of those things, she's crying...LOUDLY!!! I've found that it's very hard to get much done with a baby in one arm.

Ivy loving on her baby sister.
Ivy loves to give Emily "hugs" (really they are squeezes).

Ivy's preschool had a little Halloween celebration. The kids were allowed to wear costumes to school and they had a little parade in the hallway.

Here's a group picture

We went out on our boat this past weekend with Richard's parents (Grandma Pat and Grandpa Dick)




Ivy loves Emily's toys...

On Halloween our church had a Trunk-or-Treat. They had some other things for the kids to do - face painting, making cookies, etc. Ivy dressed up as a ballerina/princess (she wanted to wear princess accessories with her tutu).

Ivy with her BFF, Colton.

Ivy and her pumpkin...

And here are a couple of pictures of Emily...
