Can't Wait For Easter

It is that time of year again where aisles at stores are filled with Easter items. We started the festivities early this year since Kalista enjoys the whole egg decorating process.

We limited this round of decorating to two colors at a sitting since we didn't have a full stock of eggs in the house and we didn't want to risk tie dyed walls if it got out hand. Here are her finished products so far (with some help.. of course):

Don't Pinch Me

The men donned their green attire for early St. Patrick's Day. Can't pinch them.

Our 2 Month Old

Lawsyn is 2 months old. Weighing in at 12.5 pounds.....we have a little tank!

We're Chomping

We have some breakthroughs in Kalista's feeding adventures!!!

She is very proud that she can take down a slice of cheese now with ease. As she will tell you...it makes her tummy happy. She is also able to drink a few ounces of whole milk now with her meals, but with a little prompting from the grownups.

We also started a new group feeding therapy program this week, so we hope all these little girls who are weaning off their feeding tubes are going to rub off some positive eating juju. We'll let you know.

Thankful

We are so thankful to have family to help us as well as visitors in this first month.

Thank you!

Lawsyn is 1 Month Old

Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year!!!

Welcome year of the HORSE
(which is Jen's year)  and farewell to Matt and Lawsyn's year of the Snake.

May this new year bring you good health, prosperity and happiness.

Kalista refers to the red envelopes as her "Chinese".

Dog Lover

Kalista has taken a liking to having her photo taken with her stuffed friends and she also takes pictures of them when she gets her hand on our phones.

She posed this morning and told me, "Mama...take a photo of us!"

These photos below were taken by the little one herself.

Can you tell who Kalista's favorite pet is?  You guessed it. Her name is Dot Dot.

Sibling Love

We are trying a new way of blogging for 2014 via the mobile phone. This will bring you more snippets into our lives and give you updates and photos in real time.

Lawsyn continues to grow leaps and bounds. He is an excellent eater and does not refuse seconds.  He is engaging more and turns his head to look at you.

Kalista is drinking more of her formula, but realized that almond milk has a much better flavor (less sweet) and is more willing to drink that. She is enjoying her daycare/preschool and has made many friends. They help her explore with different foods and snacks as well.

We got some new hats

Lawsyn is our newest hat victim. Check these looks out!
