Rowan feeds Lily

Rowan is fascinated by how Lily eats and could not wait to try to feed her as well...the results...

Lily 6 Months

Here she is - no stats yet as her doctor appt is not until next week but if I was betting I would say around 17-19lbs and 26 inches...but I wouldn't bet the farm on it...

I wave the white flag at sickness

For the THIRD time this winter a stomach bug is going through our house. Rowan woke up throwing up at 450am on Wednesday, stayed home that day, was sent home from school on Thursday with diarrhea, stayed home with Parker on Friday, he now has it as well - the two of them have gone through 3 rolls of toilet paper and an entire bottle of liquid soap in about 48 hours. UGH, UGH, DOUBLE UGH!!! We thought Rowan was feeling a bit better yesterday as she went shopping with Diane and I all day but today she is right back at square one....*sighs*...it breaks my heart.

KNOCK WOOD Lily and I have not gotten it - we had it really bad last time so I hope and pray we are being spared this time around. If I wash my hands one more time they will officially dry up like autumn leaves and fall off.

Please let spring get here soon so I can open the windows and air this place out - as it is I have the heat on and the windows cracked just to get some air in here as best I can.

On a pleasant note - Lily moved from just rice cereal to cereal and sweet potatoes this morning. She gave me the funniest, quizzical look with the first spoonful and then could not get enough of them! And so it begans - the path to good eating for our baby girl :)

Rowan does a cartwheel - repeatedly.
And we started Lily on rice cereal this weekend. I made it way too runny to start with and have since gotten it to a consistency that works for her but here are her first bites all the same.

Enaiya's Birthday Party

Yesterday was Enaiya's 4th Birthday party. It was supposed to be at a salon in Doylestown where they were going to treat the girls to play hair and makeup and what not. Angela, E's mom, called me on Saturday night at 1030 to tell me they had just called her and cancelled her party for noon the next day! How sh*tty is that?? To a group of 4 year old girls no less! Anyway - so after some scrambling on Angela's part she ended up having the party at her house and had a group called "Once Upon A Princess" come in and host a princess party. Belle from Beauty and the Beast came and it was a resounding success. I told Angela that you would never know she threw it all together at the last minute because it went so well. Rowan of course had to be the shy girl for the entire first half of the party wanting nothing to do with any of it because of the 8 girls in attendance, 2 did not go to daycare so she did not know them. ARGH. Anyway after threatening to just take her home a couple of times she decided if she could have her face painted like everyone else had she was ready to take part. Now mind you, everyone else got a little flower or a rainbow on their cheek - Rowan asked for the princess crown on her face...thank god it washed off very easily! *LOL*

Honestly....look at this...

So we had to take pictures of Lily's hair this weekend - I have no idea where this curl is coming from and why it is growing on top only! It is both hysterical and odd at the same time.

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
