My Little Nessie

So I decided to pull a Carlisle and measure CK in the living room with my tape measure. Now I don't imagine I am as exact as the twilight character- but CK is now...

20 1/2 inches

You lookin at me?

These girls both have great looks-They also have some ATTITUDEWatch out world- when these girls are teenagers it might possibly be a nightmare!

Nugs First Month as a Big Sister

Nugs is pretty awesome. Most Mom's post information on the newborn stats at the 1 month mark- but I have absolutely no idea how much CK weighs. Haven't measured her or taken her back to the pediatrician yet. Not quite sure why- oh wait, because I am so busy. I will get to it soon though. (I might measure her myself- but then I would feel like Carlisle and Nessie)
.
So I came home from work today and found this picture below. Nugs takes care of her babies. She put them to sleep and gave them all silkies to sleep with. Because who can sleep without a silky??

I love my Nugs.
.
I love my CK too. However, she is not quite as easy as Nugs was. She seems to fuss a little more and she does not like to sleep. However, she loves to eat, she has little gas smiles all the time, and the dimples are quite amazing.
.
I guess I could always weigh CK on the Wii Fit.
.
Oh yeah- I haven't taken Nugs for her 2 year visit either. I better get it together.

CK Talks

CK is talking already- WOW.

And just to make sure CK doesn't feel left out I made a collage for her too.
.
Her facial expressions are pretty much exactly the same. Not as expressive or busy as Nugs yet. Haha. She doesn't make me tired from just looking at her.

Picassa

So I have heard about this picture program online called Picassa. I mostly heard of it because of the collages that people put on their blogs. Well... I always thought the collages were too small and it was too hard to see the pictures. But, when you have a busy girl like nugs and you are trying to get at least one good picture- it is sometimes funnier to see all the bad pictures instead.
.

So here is Nugs in all her busy glory. I tried really hard to get her to look at me. Not an easy task.
We'll see if I can get a good picture tomorrow. Wish me luck!
.
PS: all of these pictures were taken within seconds of each other. Really, she doesn't like to sit still for the camera. :)

CK Close and Personal

So I decided to get all up in CK's business this morning during tummy time. She likes it so far and I am assuming she will want to be stomach sleeper like Nugs. However, I am trying to be the good practitioner and listen to the American Academy of Pediatrics and put CK "back to sleep" to reduce the chances of SIDS. Which is a good thing of course- but some babies sleep so much better on their tummy's- ah- the inner turmoil of a mother.

Actually there isn't much turmoil going on here- I am too sleep deprived to be thinking about such life altering decisions, "back or stomach" and "bassinet or co-sleep" and "work or not work"

I just do whatever the heck is the easiest at the time. So for the past couple days it has been snuggled up CK on her side in bed with me and who knows how much she really eats or not. But when I catch up on sleep I will get her back in the bassinet, on her back, and hopefully on some sort of schedule.

.

Wait, I am not sure cathcing up on sleep will happen. Did I mention I already started back to work?

.

I am crazy. I know. But those pregnant ladies don't deliver themselves. Well, they would if they had to... but I don't think that is a good idea and I don't think they want to worry about that... So, I will be there for them.

Visitors

We were so excited and fortunate to have Uncle Cory and Aunt Katie come and visit us Friday and Saturday! While they babysat most of Friday (I am back at work now-yuck) we still were able to have Cory cook for us (amazing!), play a lot of Canasta, hit balls at the batting cages, eat sushi, go shopping, watch twilight, feed the ducks, and more.

It was fun and busy- but relaxing as well. It was great to see them and spend time with them. We love you guys and can't wait to see you again in June.
