Happy Birthday Albert!
Today is my nephew (and godson), Albert, FIRST Birthday. I cannot you are already one...such a big boy! Your cousins miss and talk about you all the time and we can't wait to see you again! I hope you enjoy all your monkey presents and I want to see a video of you and the laughing monkey we sent you!! Miss and love you lots.....
Thoughts in Pictures
Michaela now gets to have big girl baths in the sink since her cord fell off. She doesn't make a peep the entire time as long as I keep her warm by keeping water on her. If the water is cold or she gets cold then she starts to fuss. These pictures of her bath the other day crack me up....her different facial expressions describe what must be running through her head!!
Ooh...this water is so nice and warm.
I think I like washing my hair...
...until mom gets water in my eye!!
and until I get cold...
...and HUNGRY, enough already!
I love my baths!

Thanks Grammy & Grandpa
...for the cool new shades. These are neat....they have an elastic band that goes around head and velcros to help keep sunglasses on little ones.
Praying or Preaching?
The girls love to pray out by our statue of Mary....although lately Emma has enjoyed grabbing a book and reading or preaching to the Blessed Mother....as if she needs the help!
Dress Up
Lately the girls have been LOVING playing dress up. I can't wait until we have the room and a good chest to fill with dress up outfits etc. My mom found this great hoop skirt dress up outfit at a local consignment shop that the girls just love...although Emma has a hard time walking in it. Angelica is also addicted to her wand....this is one my mom finally found that hasn't completely broken right away....she brings it everywhere. Emma loves to just stand there and make her dresses swish back and forth. So cute!!
Three Weeks Already!!
Ok Ok Ok, I know I haven't given many pics or updates on here about Miss Michaela Marie, my little M&M. I am mostly updating her site (so go check and leave her a message) but thought I would post an update and some fun pictures...I know newborn pics all start to look the same, but a mother has too many favorites....trying to pick one for a birth announcement...hard to post a newborn!
Michaela turned THREE weeks old yesterday, I cannot believe it!! I already feel like she is getting big....starting to get some chubby little thighs and more alert. We are waiting to see if her dark hair color stays. Jason thinks it is starting to lighten a bit, which he wishes it wasn't. She doesn't have nearly as long of eyelashes as her sisters and I am hoping she doesn't lose all this hair she has!
At her two week check up, I was hoping she would regain her birth weight of 8 pounds 5 ounces as she had dropped to 7.12. She weighed in at 8 pounds 12 ounces!!! She also measured 20.25 inches long (from 19.7 at birth)....both 50% for height and weight. So so far a strong and healthy little baby!!!

A New Show
The girls were watching a new episode of either Little Bear or Blues Clues (I forget) but I always love watching their faces as they listen to a new story or learn about new things....so many facial expressions and intense concentration!
Baby Sullivan's First Picture
My sister Caitlin had her first ultrasound last week....here is the beautiful picture of my niece or nephew!! I am guessing niece?! Hard to believe that this baby and Michaela will only be 7 months apart!! Can't wait to meet you little one.
First Bath
I have mostly been updating with daily journal entries, pictures and videos on Michaela's Website (don't forget to visit and leave a message for her!!) but will try to post some things on here as well. This was the first bath we gave her at home. I love this little sponge pad that we use while they are so little and before the cord falls off, makes it nice and easy. Michaela LOVES her bath so far and doesn't fuss much at all unless she gets cold.
Good Deals
Emma lets Angelica do her hair in the bath (Angelica said she was curling it with their foam letters) and Angelica lets Emma play with her toes (the little piggy rhyme)....I say that is a good trade off, right?
Memories at Marmee's
When we first brought Michaela home...those first two weeks were really tough. My mom took the big girls several times for the day....the girls had a blast at Marmee's house...having all kinds of adventures outside and being silly inside!! I am so blessed to have a mom that can and wants to help out (they are over there again today!) and my girls are so blessed to be making so many memories with their Marmee (and man they missed her when she was in NYC!!) Enjoy!
Zoo Fun
Jason got a family zoo pass from my sisters and their hubby's for his birthday this year....so the week we brought Michaela home, he took the big girls there for some fun. These are just a couple pics from Caitlin's phone. We are looking forward to some fun zoo times and wanting to go to the Zoo Lights this month too!
