Halloween 2012

Introducing Princess Belle, Pink Unicorn, and Purple Butterfly...

Clearly excited or just tired of mom taking pictures.

Isabelle wasn't really sure what to think of this outfit.

Princess Belle

She loves to read books so she's awesome.

My sweetie pies.

Back of the Butterfly

Gabriella was this when she was her age.

One of the many benefits of having the same gender kiddies.

Awww... LOVE THESE GIRLS!

Olivia's First Halloween

Olivia the Pink Unicorn

Isabelle has no clue what's going on. 

She tried to give her candy to the person at the door.

Lots of people decorate their house!

Daddy and his baby girl.

I love trick-or-treating where we live! Almost every house joins the festivities and there are a ton of kids out and about. It was an AMAZING fall night and the girls got loads of candy. Gabby especially liked giving it out to the trick-or-treaters. Olivia slept the whole time... she's becoming quite the snug bug. Needless to say, an uneventful first Halloween but next year will be much different!

Olivia's First Smile

I finally got it on camera!! Her first smile was officially Wednesday, October 17th (my brother Marty's birthday). LOVE HER!

Gabby is Spelling

Gabriella made this at school and spelled out "notebook" all by herself. My baby is learning!!!

Olivia is One Month Old!

Here she is at one month old! She's getting a little bit bigger... We also gave her a pacifier this week and she's been taking it. She's also been making cute baby sounds. Unfortunately, she still doesn't like baths :(

Isabelle is 21 Months

Highlights/Updates Include:

- Probably the most noticeable is her language... She says, "Oh-wa" for Olivia and "Babby" for Gabby.

  "Yesh" for yes; "Wah-Wah" for water; "Num-nums" is food; "Do-wah" is Dora (and the Explorer).

- Speaking of Dora the Explorer... She is practically obsessed with Dora!!! That and Elmo. I call these characters baby crack.

- She's continues to be a little helper. She helps me change Livvy's diaper and likes to reasure her when she cries, she also brings her blankets, and puts her binky in. At the clubhouse, she brought Gabby her water bottle (without anyone telling her) and put the bottle back in the diaper bag.

- She continues to love dancing and music and sings with gabby in the car, which is awesome.

- She also really likes to color, like her sister.

This picture cracks me up with the creepy guy on the TV screen in the back.

We had the Snell family and Tracy and her daughter (Amaya) over some pumpkin carving. Love this time of year!!!

Olivia at Week 3

Olivia Marie at 3 Weeks

Isabelle wanting me to take a picture, she

always says "CHEESE!" now.

Isabelle likes to lay her head on Livvy

Sisters

Miss Livvy is 3 weeks old now... Not a whole lot of change yet but I can tell she's looking older and getting bigger. She still hates baths and I had to take her to the doctor because her belly button was weeping. She's also looking more alert. Love her!

Olivia at Week 2

Olivia Marie at Week 2

Gabriella and Olivia-- Cuddles!

Isabelle and Olivia-- Hugs!

Olivia has a strong neck, like her big sisters...

Olivia is two weeks old today... no more umbilical stump. In fact, that fell off two days after we came home from the hospital. She eats a lot, sleeps like a champ, and poops regularly. She is becoming slightly more alert and has been looking at as more. The girls have been great with baby Livvy and I'm lovin' my time with her!!!
