March Update

So we're into March already and so far, having 3 kids isn't all that bad. We've heard the horror stories and the warnings of no sleep and no control - but for the most part, we've been very fortunate. Here's the update: The weather SUCKS! It's rainy, cold, windy and it's hailing every now and then. Granted, it's not a blizzard and it's not a hurricane but it's not the typical warmth from California. Here's our backyard in the last hail storm - click on any picture to enlarge it.


Rainy weather, cold weather, it doesn't matter. My kids will eat popsicles any time of the year. Since I don't have the luxury of tossing them in the swimming pool or hosing them off outside, they get "Tub Pops". I haven't got Lexie mastered on the art of eating a popsicle in the bathtub so she gets a lot of bubbles with her treat.
Lauren is pretty much doing the same thing everyday. Besides being stuck to the boob, changing diapers, changing clothes that have spit up all over them, this picture below shows you her favorite thing to do.Now these are just the cutest pictures in the world. Lauren is a little over 3 weeks old in these pictures. I couldn't pick just one so I'm putting a bunch of them on here so you can see why I can't choose just one.





Lauren turns a month on the 14th of March. She's been the best baby so far. Although Bella was a pretty great baby, Lauren is just wonderful. With all the screaming and yelling around our house, we're lucky that she's tuning most of it out. Bella is still helping us do EVERYTHING with Lauren. Her favorites are grabbing diapers for me or pulling up a chair to watch me bathe Lauren in the sink. Lexie has even started coming around a little. From time to time she'll ask me if she can hold the baby. It doesn't last 10-20 minutes like it does with Bella but the fact that she's interested in pretty awesome. Lexie has trouble saying Lauren so we've adopted the name "Lolo" for the baby. It's a cute little term of endearment that I hope doesn't last too long. ;-)
