Bubble Bubble POP!

It has been so nice to have some warm weather.  this year we have had some snowy weather in May!  Xander and Celia were sitting side by side blowing bubbles, so I ran to get the camera for this photo cuteness opportunity and when I made it back, Celia had dumped out all her bubbles and was no longer sitting next to Xander being cute.

So these photos are what I got!  It is so fun to watch them interact and develop a friendship.  Today they played Walkie Talkies together.  Xander is so ready for her to grow up and be her buddy.  But mostly she just bugs him, by grabbing his stuff and running.

Celia Speaks and loves the iPad

The kids have been able to use Grandpa Jim's old ipad while they have been here, which has begun sibling fights.  My 18 month old sweetie fights with her 4 year old brother over ipad time.

She loves the ipad.  Has her apps that she likes to play and for the most part can navigate the iPad fairly well.  "Pad" "Pad" is already part of her vocabulary.

Some other favorite things that this little cutie does, is kick her brother and then say "Sorry" in her 18 month language.  She says, "Love you" , "Xander", "Go", "Coat", "Candy" "Chocolate" "Doggie" "Book" "Shoe" "Sissy"

Pretty much anything we ask her to repeat, she will make the effort to say!

She has started going to Nursery and after a few tears, the first couple times, she has started to enjoy the experience :).

We are so happy to have this princess in our family!

Classic Bathtime shot!

All three of my babies have used this bathtub.

Olivia is the only one who has had eyes that match the tub.

My bathing blue eyed beauty!

She is so precious!

I am so happy to have you in our home and a part of our family.

Livie Week by week

My hair is starting to grow!  

I notice my fingers and toes

and I make noise.

I am still super sweet and hardly fuss.  I am a great sleeper in my rock -n- play.  I have started to giggle a little.  My brother and sister squish me and love me.  Thank goodness for my mom who protects and saves my life.

Making Tortillas

Jeremy bought a tortilla press off Amazon and one Sunday Afternoon Xander and him tried it out!  Xander had a lot of fun making tortillas with Dad.

Since Jeremy is the main cook in the house right now, Xander thinks that ALL Daddy's cook!  His wife is going to be one lucky lady, like I am.  I do like to bake and cook and I think one day, I will be better, but I like playing and being with the children and Jeremy would rather cook, so that is where we are at and what we do at this point in our life.
