Musical Chairs

We finally got around to giving Sarah a chance to sit in the high chair. Up until this point we had been feeding her in her bouncy chair. This past weekend we got Abigail a booster seat and now she is right up at the table with us so Sarah can use the high chair.

The funny thing is, Sarah ate so much better in her high chair than in the bouncy seat!

The nice thing about Abigail sitting at the table is that the table is so much easier to clean than the high chair tray. The not-so-nice thing about Abigail sitting at the table is that the table doesn't catch as much of her mess as the high chair tray did ;-)

Now we can properly have family meal time without having Sarah on the table in her bouncy seat!

Free! Free! Free!

I'm excited to be part of an upcoming event at my church, GENESIS, in Woburn. It's called The Great Giveaway and it is happening THIS Saturday, May 22 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM.

I've already had a chance to see what will be available. Come to 16 Wheeling Ave in Woburn if you or someone you know needs any furniture, clothes, toys (there are TONS of toys), books, you name it.

I'll be there during the event, so come on by and say "hi"!

Happy Birthday Papa!

Along with throwing my sister a baby shower yesterday, we also celebrated my Dad's birthday. For the few days leading up to his birthday I would often let Abigail know it was coming up. Every time I let her know she wanted me to light a candle so she could blow it out. Well, Abigail sat next to Papa for our celebration and he was kind enough to let her help him blow his candles out (he was more than happy to include her).

Happy Birthday Dad/Papa!

Auntie Laura's Baby Shower

Today my Mom and I threw my sister her baby shower. We had a tea/Winnie the Pooh theme. I spent a lot of time online trying to figure out what sort of tea foods to make. We ended up making cucumber mint sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, orange scones, blueberry lemon scones and shortbread cookies. I must say, they turned out great. Special thanks also goes to my Aunt who made cookies and my Grandma who made Laura's favorite bean salad.

Here are a few pictures of our decorations. We mixed tea with Winnie the Pooh because of his love of honey. Our favors were honey dippers with "Mommy to Bee" tags. It wasn't planned, but I think they ended up looking like baby rattles.

Bridget is going to be one fashionable baby. She got so many cute clothes and other baby essentials. My favorite gift Laura got was an interactive one. She got a bunch of adorable clothes from my Grandma all attached to a clothesline. I had seen this done at another shower, such a good idea!

And now some pictures of the Mommy-to-Be and hostesses. Abigail got in on the photo action too...

I cannot wait to meet little Miss Bridget in just a few short weeks!!!

Seven Months!

Sarah is seven months old today! She has changed in many ways in the past month. Just recently she has been sitting up unassisted. She can also push off with her feet to inch closer to her toys, though she is still not scooting or crawling yet. Also, her bottom two front teeth are completely through...no more gummy grins!

Here she is in her 12-month onsie:

Sarah having fun with Papa-she enjoys his watch as much as Abigail did when she was a baby:

My Girls in their Hoodies

I love dressing the girls in "hoodies". I think it looks so cute. Right after I dressed Sarah in hers and put her hood on Abigail tried to do the same, except she was still in her pajamas and didn't have a hood.

I did put Abigail in a hoodie and thought it would be fun to take a few pictures.
