8 Weeks Today



Wow, baby is already 8 wks old. I really see a big difference in her now. She plays under her little gym and coos up at those toys, smiling at them for a half hour at a time! She also is starting to get too big for her 3 mos clothes! I find she's at the really fun stage where she's able to interact more with people.

Yesterday we (baby, E and me) went for a picnic at the park. Little E had such a good time. I packed a lunch and she had a blast. Of course I bought her some strawberry icecream and she insisted that it melt in its container so that she could drink it like a milkshake. But she had a fun time anyway.


We got a new ceiling fan for our bedroom the other day. That was *fun* to install. hehe. I don't know why hubby insists on thinking he can do these things on his own. Surprisingly enough he got it up after about 4 hrs. LOL. The baby is totally obsessed with the fan too. She loves to stare up at it while it's going. :)

Today is going to be a totally lazy day, since I don't have my van to use. My hubby had to take it to work. My sis in law just called, her daughter has pinkeye, and I have a feeling I am being beckoned to watch the overactive hyper child as she takes her daughter to the doctor. I just ignored the phonecall. LOL. I hope she gets the hint. I am so exhausted these days. I swear I have no energy. I don't know if my blood is low or what, but lately I don't seem to have enough energy to get out of my own way, let alone watch other people's children. URGH. I know I've whined about this before but jeez, I wish she'd get lost.

There's nothing else really new in my life. Oh little E has her first day of "school" tomorrow. It's primary orientation here. I can't believe she's going to be in school in September. She's so ready to go though, she loves to learn.

Thought I'd post some pics I got of the girls together. Not like I could get that boy to stay still for more than 5 minutes to join in the pic. hehe.

You've some good looking kids. Have I said that before? I think so.

I know how you feel about extra kids...my friend and I planned on going out today, but she has her neice who is a bit of a devil child. Better her than me though and I was second choice.
