You know when you think you have taught your child something really great then it comes back to bit you...........well that was this morning.






Isabelle always watches me put on lotion so I let her start putting her lotion on herself yesterday. She had great fun rubbing it on her belly, legs, arms and face.






So fast forward to this morning...I get her up, put her in her highchair and give her a banana and yogurt for breakfast. Then I go get the baby and change her diaper...and what do I come back to.






Isabelle has taken her yogurt, which I now realize looks like lotion...and rubbed it all over her arms and face!!!!!!!! She was so darn proud of herself too. What a mess! But it sure did make me laugh!









Isabelle and Eliza are both asleep in their rooms right now...Can you believe it. The problem is I have so much to get done I don't even know where to start!!!!! Lets hope it lasts for a little bit. Here is a picture of my little burrito sleeping :) She has been flip flopping sleeping. Some nights she will sleep 6.5 hrs without waking up. But she likes to keep me on my toes and only sleep 3 hours the next night!

Isabelle is really into covering her eyes and walking around. She even wants to swing and cover them! The other day we were in the kitchen and heard Isabelle laughing and then a loud thud and crying. The girl had been walking around with her eyes covered and walked straight into the wall. Not sure what that is all about.






We got a call this morning from a friend of hers whose house we were playing at yesterday. She told us that her daughter has a really bad stomach bug today. Great. So now I am just waiting for Isabelle to get sick and in turn I will get sick. Say some prayers that is passes us by!!!!!!!!!






Eliza was doing really good but we are now back to screaming a lot. Fun times here! If she wasn't so cute I don't know what I would do with her :) She has smiled at me a few times but in my mind its not enough and she should be doing more by now. Let my crazy worrying begin! Here we are in the good times and bad!



Well we had a very busy weekend. Sat we were at the pool trying to get Isabelle used to the water again. She had fun but was not overly impressed with it! So we got a BIG plastic swimming pool for the backyard (I am glad no one was watching me try to jam it in my car in the Walmart parking lot....lets just say it wouldn't fit in the back of the Pilot!) So by Sunday night she was having more fun in the water.







Sunday we celebrated Fathers Day! Daniel got some boring tools and a fan...yes a fan. Only he would like a fan! Then we were off to Church. We got some Pappasitos to go and Nathan joined us for lunch. Overall it was a great weekend...

Lets play the game...who does the baby look like :) I just thought it ws fun to look at all of our baby pics!


Baby Erika




















Baby Daniel

















Baby Isabelle (3weeks)
















Baby Eliza (6 weeks)

Where to begin..............






For those who don't know Eliza is here!!! She was born 5/1/07 at 9:27 AM 6lbs10oz and 19 inches long! After a little bit of a bumpy start she is doing well. We went to see the cardiologist who told us he is not concerned about the hole and will never do surgery just keep an eye on it...that was a huge answer to prayers. We passed our hearing test on try 3 :) And after a week of non stop screaming...and I mean screaming. We went to the Dr who said her refulx (she spit up all over me and the entire office!) was bad enough she didn't need to do any of the test and her screaming was because her esophagus was so inflamed. Opps guess I should have taken her soon. But we have been on meds for a day and I think they are starting to help. And at 6 weeks she is 8lbs 12oz. Finally a baby that gains weight! So that is our start with Eliza. But she is such a beautiful baby and a big answer to prayers!!!



This pretty much answers the questions of how my little breech baby was jammed in there. It took her a while to put her legs down. If you look at the first pic you can see where she put her foot print on her face!




















Isabelle finished school a few weeks ago and is now at Kamp Klein for June. Today was ladybug day so she came home with all ladybug crafts and yes I sent her to school in a ladybug shirt!! Here she is on her last day of school. Also she has learned how to drink from a real cup, but we are still sticking with the sippy cup for now! She is really starting to talk...about everything.









































Isabelle is very good at being a big sister, but I think she has figured out the baby is not leaving and has been less than thrilled with her lately. She wants me to hold her always and not the baby!
























She is still probably more fun playing with Huddy at this point though......
