Day at the playgound

April Fools

Our doings of the day:

Mustachioed Rosie

A failed food dye in the toothbrush attempt

Salted Water

Saran wrap in the Honey cap (a big deal to Ken when he doesn't have access to honey)

Taped down light switches

All in all a good year.

4 months of Rosie

She really is a delight just about every day. She now weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces.  She appreciates being put down for a nap and getting away from the chaos.  She uses a binky (hallelujah!) and also love sucking on 3-8 of her own fingers at a time.  As seen above, she often tolerates and sometimes enjoys her brother's hugs.  Mostly she just likes watching what is going on.

Popigul

(also know as popsicle)

Baby laughs are infectious

Late Bloomer

I got my first poster this week!  It was a gift from my little sister and matches one of my current great passions Dr Who!  (If you don't watch Dr who, you really ought to because it is awesome.)
I never had any when I was a teenager and I am thrilled to finally be going through this stage.

Cool Kids Wear Appliances

  Jared is so cool with his sunglasses,

 His no-pants,

 and his popcorn popper lid hat.

He is just keeping it real in a modern world.

Involuntary Lent

So, lately there's been an issue with Rosie's diapers.  Newborns should have mustard yellow, seedy poo.  Rosie's, however, have been darker green and mucusy.  This means (according to some reliable sources) that Rosie isn't tolerating the amount of dairy I am taking in.  Since her symptoms aren't severe, I am trying to eliminate all dairy from my diet to see if that will help her little system.  It may take a couple of weeks for things to start improving. Poor little girl!
Considering this is the Catholic season of Lent, I've decided this is sufficient to fulfill that tradition.  It has been  really hard to give up all the milk, butter, cheese and yogurt.  You wouldn't believe how many things dairy is in!  But I just keep reminding myself that I love my daughter more than cream cheese!
