In celebration of this new season, I thought I'd post a few new pictures of my sweethearts and let you all know what we've been up to.
Addie's "Ace Ventura" hairdo after nap
Piggy tails and dirt digging--it doesn't get much better
Squeezable Sissies
Lydi loving her excersaucer
The "little one" (as Addie calls her) is growing so fast! She is the size of an average 6 month old and is wearing 6-12 month clothes already. We started her on some rice cereal this past week and so far, she enjoys the spoonfuls of milky-mush. I just dug the excersaucer out of the closet the other day and Lydia LOVES it! At first, I wasn't sure if she was old enough for it...but after a few minutes of giggles and obvious entertainment, it's a welcome addition to the many other toys taking up space in our living room ;)
Lydia gave us a few sleepless nights last week, but I think we are back on track now and into a good groove (but that's all I'm saying about that, so we don't jinx it!). I think she was going through a stage where she wanted to be awake ALL the time, even during the night just so she wouldn't miss anything. She's definitely more alert and loves to interact with us. Here is a little clip of her laughing at her silly momma.

Big Sister Addie is also growing to be quite a little girl. Sometimes she says things that just make me laugh until my stomach hurts. One evening this week, the girls and I went to dinner with my parents. Addie was sitting next to Lydia in the booth and she said, "You're getting chubby, aren't ya?" Mom and Dad and I were just tickled by this statement. She definitely mimics us in the most adult-like way. Just this morning, she slung my purse over her shoulder and said, "Bye-bye, I'm going to work, see ya later!" and closed the "door" (moved the kitchen chair) behind her. As usual, she's constantly coming up with cute sayings and I have trouble keeping track of them all, unfortunately. "Okay, then" is another one of her current quotes...you know, it just makes the usual response of "OK" a little more formal ;) So when I ask her to take her dirty clothes to the hamper she responds, "Okay, then" and off she goes, happy and willing.
Addie just loves her baby sister SO much! She enjoys reading books to her, making her laugh by blowing on her belly, singing for her, and even decorating her!
I walked in the living room to see my sweet baby being "decorated" with heart stickers :)
Reading to the little one

You have some sweeties! I love the clip of Lydia laughing.....I think that is still my favorite sound - a child's laugh:) Addie looks to be a great big sister! We are also excited for spring time - we need to get together when the nice weather is here to stay! Hope all is well!
I love the new pictures! Makes me want to come over right now and give all of you a big hug!
Seeing your girls so happy together so reminds me of Michal and me... not that I can remember when Michal was as small as Lydia... but we have about the same age difference as your precious girls. It's so sweet to have a sister! If I keep seeing how happy they are together I think I'm gonna end up wanting another one sooner than I thought... I just can't imagine the morning sickness with a one-year old :) We'll see...
