Today Delaney turned 2 weeks old. I really feel like the last two weeks have flown by. I've struggled a little with getting out and about, but am challenging myself to make a DAILY habit of either walking, running an errand, or going on field trips with the girls (I can't believe I'm saying "the girls!"). Each day gets better, as I'm better prepared than the previous day and know better what to expect and how to plan. Pre-school and visitors have helped tremendously. Thanks to all who have stopped by for either a brief visit or a very long visit. I welcome ALL visits to break up my days.
Once again, Izzy is enjoying playing in her sister's apparatus
I catch her in this one often :)
Yesterday Amber and Etta stopped by for a visit. They spent several hours at our house and was so thankful for her company!
Amber's little girl was quite fussy - so Amber did lots of walking with Etta while she was here; walked laps around our 1st floor, walked laps around our large backyard, walked laps around our block. All the while NOT complaining one bit. In the last 24 hours Amber has discovered some soothing techniques (thanks to Katie and 'The Happiest Baby on the Block') and I believe Etta has turned the corner with her fussiness. Phew!
Izzy walked some laps outside with Amber and Etta
And yesterday we picked up Luke from school around 3 to bring him home for a playdate with Izzy. I actually was begging Jaime to pick him up from school so as to entertain Izzy...and it turned out Jaime needed some help as she had to stay late at work. Perfect! Izzy and Luke played their hearts out and had a great time. I hope we can do this again, REAL soon!
Theses kids freak their freak when Yo Gabba Gabba comes on!
We had Delaney's 2 week appointment today...and she is growing quite well! She weighs in at 7lbs 12 oz (over a pound from her birth weight!) and has grown over 1/2 an inch. She is following in her sister's footsteps, as her HEAD is in the 75% percentile. Her height is also in the 75% (Izzy was, too, early on, but evened out) and her weight is in the 50%. Laney still has some facial birth marks (nose and eye) that the Pediatrician says go away by their 4th or 5th birthday; however, for the rest of her life, whenever she gets embarrassed the red marks will reappear. I think they give her character :)

Your girls are cuties! Glad that Delaney is growing and growing! You are a better woman than I am...Living my life in 3 hour increments makes getting out and about seem like an impossible task! Thanks for the announcement, btw!
i love the "character" comment... those boys will see right through her! love it.
One of Cheri's friends from school has a birthmark around her eye. When she got her senior pictures taken they took it off and when everyone saw her pictures they made her get it put back in. It makes her unique and beautiful. Her boyfriend was the loudest in the photoshop protest.
