Family!

I have so much to write about.  I did 2 blog posts so make sure you see the one below too:)  Just this past week, Chuck's family was able to visit us.  Babette, Charles, and Crystal all came.  It was so nice to have company.  It is nice to have help and someone to entertain the babes.  We got to do some fun things while they were here.  We went to Cosi (Fun science place), out to dinner, Chuck and I went on a date (sans kids), and visited.

 COSI!

 They had a submarine you can get in.  It was pretty cool:)

Holly also had her 2 month check up, even though she was only 7 weeks.  We got her some shots and she was extra sore and tired after that.  Her stats are:

Weight:  10lbs 1.5oz

Length: 21.5 in

Head 14.5 cm

The doctor says that she is looking really good.  She does have a slight lazy eye that kinda wanders sometimes, so we are taking her to the opthamologist to see what we can do for her.  She might have to wear a patch and be a little pirate for a little while. At least she would be the cutest pirate I have ever seen! She has started to smile on occasions and every now again a coo.  The doctor told me that she might do more later since technically she is a month old, since she was 3 weeks early.  She is so bright and wide eyed.  She loves her sister.  Penny loves Holly too.  One day Penny came over and asked me if she could hold baby Holly and I said yes.  While she was holding her she said "I love you.....Baby Holly".  It was the sweetest thing ever!  I hope they stay friend and that Penny always has that love for her little sister.

Christmas

We had a pretty quiet Christmas this year.  Chuck had to work till 5, so we waited for Santa all day long!  I don't think Penny minded, let a lone knew what was going on.  Holly was just a sleepy baby:)  Penny got a kitchen that I got a killer deal on.  She got various other things but that was her main big gift.  She was really excited when she was opening it.

Holly got some small things like a little light that plays music to put in her crib.  She really likes listening to music when she sleeps.  Not much else from Christmas this year.  Chuck and I had a hard time getting things for eachother this year.  He was working all the time and I had 2 babes to tote around so we just went shopping the day after.  It was a snow storm here, but that would never stop me.  Of course, here they don't have snow trucks, CRAZY!  Here some more sampling from the day.

 Holly was there watching Penny go crazy!  I am such a bad mom and forgot to get a picture with her presents.  Oh well, poor second child:( 

The couple of days later Chuck and Penny decided to make a snowman.  Penny loved playing in the snow with her dad. 

One day I gave Penny a packet of stickers and a note book.  I told her she could put her stickers on the notebook.  I went to go make dinner and when I came back to look at her she had her back turned to me.  I noticed that she had put the stickers all over her pants.  And then she looked up at me and this is what I saw.

Hilarious!  I could not stop laughing.  It shocked me at first and of course she was not happy about having her picture taken:)  Oh well!
