Spring break 2013 and Ada's 2 months old....

We got invited to Chris' cousin Jean's baby shower in April and it happened to fall at the end of Spring Break so we thought what better timing than to make an overnighter in Chicago...it was good, hectic with a little one, but we enjoyed our time together as a family....

My American Girl and McKenna...who got her ears pierced on this particular visit

After the shower...we had a great time celebrating Jean and baby Plunkett...I am happy to report that baby Jaxson is here and healthy!!!

Hey guys, I'm 2 months old already....

Seriously, my mom thinks I'm adorable!!!

and this big sister of mine....ROCKS!!!

Easter 2013

We had a great Easter this year. We went to Easter Vigil and enjoyed a Easter morning brunch out and then relaxed at home for the rest of the day...we are very blessed!

I love my hubs!!!

Our little potato....I can't believe how little she looks in this photo...she has grown so much already!

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
