[ focus on the positive... ]

Alright here are new pictures that I've been trying to post for a few days now and I'm finally able to get around to it. The past two weeks have been so incredibly challenging with both Angie and Jenny sick with colds and Jenny has an ear infection and is teething. Needless to say I haven't gotten very much sleep lately! However on the flip side, trying to focus on the positive... I didn't get sick and have received tons of help from my family while John has been at work. That has definitely kept me going. So here are a few pictures of the happy, relaxing moments that have happened in the midst of all the craziness!

Jenny at 3 months old... 14 pounds 8 ounces!


Angie trying on her Christmas dress from Grandma!


A few days ago I came in to Angie's room (where I had laid Jenny down for a minute to switch the laundry) and found this scene. Jenny had been crying and I started to come get her when I heard her stop crying and heard Angie talking to her. Angie had cheered her up by sharing her animals, what a great big sister!

Laughing with Daddy!

My happy girls, cozy in their pajamas!

Such a wonderful sight! Especially since she hasn't been sleeping very well lately! I savored the moment!


So today I've been thinking about all these happy moments because that's definitely what gets me through those crazy days when you don't get out of the house, don't take a shower and just end up having a movie day because everyone is feeling yucky! It's the little things in life! :)

[ 2 months ]

Here's little Miss Jenny at 2 months! She weighed 13 pounds 12 ounces at her 2 month check up and measured 24 inches long! She's in the 95th percentile for everything and definitely is a chunk! :)During the last couple of weeks she has really started cooing and almost giggling too! She also is grabbing at her toys now and keeping herself occupied for much longer than she used to, so less fussing- Hurray!

So I know you can tell by the pictures, but Jenny's hair sticks straight up in the front and also curls too, so it looks like a wave because of her crazy cowlick!!! And it totally cracks me up because it just does whatever it wants too! No matter how I try to comb it, it just goes everywhere! Well, John was looking at her hair the other night and asked me if I brush her hair like that or dry it like that to make it stand up, he actually thought I was trying to spike it up or something! If it weren't for the little bows and clips in her hair you'd think she was a boy! Unfortunately in half of the pictures I take, you can't see the bows and hair clips because her "wave" sticks up in front of it! :) So until her hair calms down I guess I'll just have to make sure she's always wearing lots of pink to make sure they know she's a she! :)




Oh and here are some close ups of Jenny on Halloween that I forgot to add with my last post. What a cute little giraffe she was! She did really well going trick-or-treating with us, in fact so well that she fell asleep! :) I'm sure next year she'll have more fun!
