A week in review!

So I've now kept this up to date for a whole week!  Here are a few fun shots from last week.  

Monday marked our very first swim lesson at Lynnwood Rec Center.  It took a few minutes of coaxing but then 25 minutes later we couldn't get her out of the pool.  We literally had a melt down.  Not sure if that was just wanting to swim or if it was the fact that we have swim lessons from 6pm-6:25pm.  Fairly certain we will not do evening swim lessons again!  Overall though swim is a blast daddy swam with her on Monday and I got in the pool on Wednesday.  That was a feat inside itself, swimsuit seven weeks after having a baby, thank GOD for tankini's!

Thursday I got off my duff since it has been so sunny here (but darn cold) and Bobby and I went for a walk around the block.  He did awesome in his carrier and was out like a light within the first twenty feet!  Mommy was a little sore, how sad is that, but I figure it is just getting started that is the hardest part.  

Obviously I'm not looking at the camera and I have no make-up on, but it was gorgeous out!

Bobby is smiling all the time now and it is so fun when I can capture it on camera!  He giggles when we change his diaper or tickle him under his chin.  Simply too cute!  He is growing like a weed.  The second picture is to show how long he is ... that sleeper is actually 6 months.  Yes, I think that sleeper is a bit undersized but it is amazing how fast these little munchkins grow!  

Probably one of our favorite memories from this week, and one that will live on as a story that is retold time and time again, is one of Lizzy feeding her baby.  She hopes up on the couch, pulls up her nightgown and puts her baby to her chest.  I start laughing as I know exactly what she is doing but I look at Ben and ask Lizzy, "What are you doing?" ... to which Lizzy answers, "Feeding my baby."  Sure makes perfect sense so I see what else she'll tell me ... "Lizzy what are you feeding baby?" ... to which Lizzy answers very matter of fact, "Milk from my boobies."  I love kids and they say the darnedest things.  The best was when she hopped down to grab a cloth diaper (which I use to burp with) and did a pretend burp with her baby doll.  Too cute!

Saturday we had a pretty lazy day ... Ben took Lizzy to the bank and the post office.  She loves the bank as she always seems to come home with a lollipop.  Lizzy got a chance to use her easel to pain for the first time (this should be interesting!) and then I snapped this cute photo of Ben and the kids at dinner.  Lizzy is just over 2 1/2 now and Bobby was 8 weeks yesterday!  Time sure does fly!  

It was a great week until yesterday morning when we went to wake Lizzy up and she had thrown up all over her bed.  She fell back asleep and didn't come get us, poor thing ... we had a long talk about the next time we have tummy owwies ... we need to come wake up mom and dad.  So needless to say we laid pretty low yesterday.  Poor pumpkin. 

More to come later after Bobby's 2 month wellness check!
