Rounding out the month of March

Crazy Day at school...always such a poser!!!!

This picture describes these two perfectly...Alison LOVES to cross her eyes and Ada is our little sleeper!

Easter egg dyeing

A family game of headbands...okay, maybe Ada wasn't all that into it?! HA!

Who doesn't love a little late March snow storm to practice our 'snow baseball'

Alison is rounding third for home and Chris is sprinting for the out.....and the crowd goes wild because she's SAFE!

Who am I kidding, I'll never get caught up!!!......

But I definitely think the title of this post should be...pictures of sleeping baby because I {clearly} take A LOT of them....but let's be honest...doesn't everyone loves pictures of sleeping babies?!

Sleeping vs Waking up vs Stretching...who knows what's going on here and don't let that pacifier fool you...I hate them!!!!

Look mom...I can even sleep in the middle of the hallway and yes...she always sleeps with her arms splayed wide out or up! No swaddling for her!

I'm one month old....can you believe it?!

My sister is happy as a lark holding me...I'm not so sure about it!

Yes, I'm asleep again but I honestly did fall asleep exactly like this...must have been thinking about how many times I can wake Mommy and Daddy up in the night...

Cousin love!!!

My sweet St. Patty's Day loves

and I'm asleep...again! Peace out!!!

Where I left off.....

Shortly after we got home from the hospital with Ada, Alison had her very first science fair. We had (thankfully) had our project completed prior to Ada's birth but Mommy was very sad she didn't get to go to the fair and see Alison's presentation. She did a wonderful job and we are very proud of her!

A blue ribbon award! Way to go!

Alison is the best big sister ever! She loves to hold Ada and showers her with attention!

Sink bath

Her first real bath....4 hands to clean are better than two, right?!

Alison's new ritual is to take a shower and then fill the tub so she can take a bath and help with Ada's bath

Coming home and other news

We got to come home on Monday as long as we headed to the pediatrician on Tuesday morning for a weight check...we were having a little trouble maintaining in the hospital. It felt SO wonderful to head home!

All ready to head out....dressed in the exact outfit that big sister wore home!

Let's roll!

Home sweet Home and this big sister was ready and waiting to welcome her!

Here we are....the Bishop party of 4

Looking way to cute for our Dr. visit...thank you stitchesbystacy

Sisterly love and look....Ada does open her eyes :)

This was a gift to Ada from Alison on her "birth"day and we are going to take monthly pictures to watch her grow....Here we are at 4 days old!

Ada's first two days

Chris and I thought it was VERY important for Alison to be the first person introduced to the new addition to our family. The moment that she came into recovery was just surreal....she saw the pink hat and said, "It's a girl" and she immediately wanted to know her name. I told her Ada and she said she liked it :) She immediately wanted to hold her and of course, we obliged! She is as her shirt says a "Rockstar Big Sister"!

Alison did get the privilege of telling her grandparents that we had another girl and her name was Ada! 

The proudest moment of my life so far!!!!---my cup runneth over with these two ladies! Yes, Alison does look exhausted (okay, so does momma) but the poor girl woke up at 5:45 am with excitement about the new baby!

Holding time for Alison

One proud papa....what can he say....He makes girls :)

Our first family shot....we are so happy and blessed!

Our little monkey

A little natural light to help with the jaundice

The look of complete concern on Alison's face just melts my heart! She is so caring and loving towards Ada! We are so blessed with a six year old girl that is loving, caring, and a heart of gold!
