Bath Time

Violet is so good at bath time; she's all smiles trying to put everything in her mouth.  I love it too that Aaliyah wants to help; it's too cute!

What we're into

Thought I'd just update on what the girls are up to these days.  We've been busy potty training Aaliyah.  It's been 7 weeks already.....taking a lot longer than I thought!!  Some days are accident free and other days there may be 2 or 3.  The great thing is she always stays dry for nap time and bed time.  Her favorite show is Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood or "Tigey" as she calls it.  She enjoys building houses with her blocks, wears her tutu pj's almost every night.  I just got her a new swimsuit for the summer and of course it's pink with a tutu.  She's also into puzzles and being mommy's helper. 
Violet is rolling everywhere.  We just put her in the crib this week; probably should've done that sooner.  She definitely has grown out of the bassinet.  Last week Friday, she got her DocBand put on.  She will wear it for 2-3 months 23 hours a day.  I don't think she minds it too much; it does get sweaty and itchy.  I'm really glad we decided to do it.  Today we have her 6 month check-up.  I haven't tried too much food with her yet, might try to make my own. 

The Domes

Two weekends ago, we went to the Domes.  Every Saturday they have the farmers market there and it's free to get in.  It was fun, but super crowded.  The show dome had a display of trains, which Aaliyah thought was pretty cool.  It was nice being somewhere "tropical" and warm for a little while when it's still soooo cold out.

Violet growing up

Today we tried rice cereal for the first time and she did not like it too much.....most of it ended down her chin.  But it was just nice having her sit in her highchair so nice.  And it was super cute that Aaliyah wanted to help and feed her too!  We tried some apples/bananas for dinner, but that also was not her favorite.  We'll keep trying and find something she'll like. 

Happy Baby

Violet has a lot of fun in her exersaucer(most days).  She'll put all the toys in her mouth and just rock and turn.  Aaliyah will entertain her too, give her toys, spin her around.  But always gotta keep an eye that she doesn't spin her too fast.  And we're still working on taking toys away from her! 

Aaliyah always wants to be in the pic, that's my girl!

Frozen Birthday

Lydia and Abigail both have February birthdays, this year they had a Frozen themed party.  It was great; Aaliyah got to make a snowman, eat some yummy cake and pin the carrot on the snowman game.  She also loves to dress up in all of Lydia's princess dresses!  I think Lydia had one on for the whole party.

Having a snack, just chillin after the party

Cold Cold February

This has been one of the coldest winters yet and it's not looking like it's getting warmer anytime soon.  Here are some pics from Feb. 3rd of us just having fun.  We've spent a lot of time inside....feel bad we haven't played in the snow at all.  Aaliyah has no problem getting all dressed for the cold.

Where's Aaliyah??

Aaliyah loves her polarbear hat
