Here are some cute pictures of my baby girl:
In our family we practice something known as 'extreme kissing'. It's so intense that you need a permit for it. Just sayin'...

Big Girl!
She is so strong, just like her big brother was. She has been holding her head up since day one. She loves tummy time already [Oliver did not!] even though we don't do it too often since it's a bit early.

A Bit Similar Perhaps?
I can't get over how similar my babies look so I will post really unflattering pictures of them for my own sake. Don't hate me guys...Momma loves you!
Even 'outtakes' look the same...

Quite The Busy Body
Always moving, this one. All day he is wiggling and jumping and surprisingly not getting too hurt. :]
He can drive me insane but at the end of the day I melt to this sweet face!

1 Month
Time has flown! On Monday my newborn graduated to being a whole month old.
She is 9 lbs 5 oz - 50th percentile
And she's 20.5 in - 10th percentile
Her head is 14 in - 10th percentile
Oliver was almost 11 lbs at 1 month so she seems really small to me. She went through a bit of a growth spurt at 3 weeks bc she ate sooo much. She's finally leveled out and is eating a lot less.

So Different
One of the most anticipated things throughout this last pregnancy for me was finding out how different my kids would be.
I always hear from friends how surprised they are at how different their kid's personalities are, and I could not wait to meet Scarlett so I too could get to experience this! I have to say now that I have 2 kids, they are so remarkably different already, even though Scarlett's only been around less than a month.
- Scarlett LOVES being worn. I've used the Baby Bjorn more in the last 3 and a half weeks then I did with Oliver at all. He HATED being contained. The few times we were able to get him to not cry in it, it was a count down to when the tears would begin.
- Scarlett is such a cuddle bug. She loves being held and sleeping in our bed. Oliver was very independent from the get go and though he did like cuddling, it was always short lived. I am not thrilled with this new found co-sleeping. I do not want it to become a trend, but I am desperate for sleep and George is not home during the night to take turns with me!
- Scarlett isn't very fussy. She fusses when she's hungry, poopy or lonely. Oliver had colic. 'Nuff said...
- Scarlett isn't as good of a sleeper as Oliver was at her age. I have no complaints because I think she is a terrific sleeper, Oliver got it down faster and slept for longer periods. Crossing my fingers that she gets on that bandwagon here soon...
- Breast milk poops ROCK. Oliver was never exclusively breastfed so we dealt with the formula poops from the beginning. They weren't as bad when we were just supplementing at the beginning..but yeah...stinky. Scarlett has been exclusively breast milk fed and her poop is awesome.
- On the poop note, I have been sprayed with poop more with Scarlett than with Oliver. I cannot decide if it's the female vs male anatomy, the formula vs breast milk or something else that is the reason, but yeah, our carpet, bed sheets and my pants have suffered the wrath of newborn poop spray right from the source.
I look forward to Scarlett growing and developing so I can see how alike or different she is from Oliver. The only thing I really want is for them to get along and love each other!

Oliver
I can hardly believe he's 22 months, just 6 weeks and a few days short of 2!!
P.S. I really need to do something with his hair. It's so long that it no longer swoops to the side. He looks like a shaggy puppy! :] Unfortunately I've been forbidden from touching it by Babcia...I'll find a way for at least a trim?? I'm sure my mom will call me right after she reads this. Love you mama!!

Just the 3 of Us.
Yup, all of us got in the picture. Now we have to attempt one with Daddy when he's home!
Scarlett's 1st Bath!
I realize that we are a little late getting her a 'real' bath in the tub. We were hesitant to put her in water because I wasn't sure if her belly button was healed. She's got an umbilical hernia so I can't really tell anything with it sticking out all the time! I don't even know if she's got an innie or an outie!!! Oh well, it will heal on its own sooner or later. :]
Here is little Miss 'I hate being cold":
Tackling 2 simultaneously, thank goodness George was there to help!
And one fairly good shot of the both of them. :]
I love being a mommy to 2! To all my friends pregnant with their second or getting ready to make another baby[you know who you are!!!], you are gonna have so much fun!

My Little Angel
I miss when Ollie was more easily photographed. He moves too much and too quickly now, so you are left with a lot of Scarlett pictures. :]
She's so precious!

CHEESE!
I taught Oliver to say cheese before pictures. Now if he's in the mood, its really hard to stop taking pictures. He'll keep saying cheese and posing. If I turn the camera off he'll whine and start saying 'more'. Haha.
I was debating whether or not to post this picture because it is so bad its hilarious. Haha. This is a close up of him saying Cheese!
More posing and saying cheese:

Test Driving
Now that the Babies R Us opened its new joint store with Toys R Us in Southcenter, we're in trouble everytime we go to pick up anything baby related.
Oliver found the Power Wheels... This might be an appropriate Christmas gift come 2011, especially if we have that house we really want, with all the extra space we're in dire need of...

Painting for Grandma
November 2nd was Babcia's birthday so the kiddos did some painting.
Okay it was mostly Oliver. Haha. Scarlett did contribute her foot print as did Oliver after he did his initial painting. I wish I had a photo of the final painting to show but its on my mom's camera. I will post it once its downloaded because it's SUPER cute.
Ollie had fun though. :]

Pretty Lady
George's work bought us a bunch of stuff including this ridiculous onsie that George is in love with. Haha. I think it's kinda cute too.
She's starting to keep her eyes open long enough to take pictures. Yay! Sleeping pictures get boring after awhile.

Whole Sentences??
Oliver said to me yesterday: "There's a ball outside."
I didn't believe it and thought I was just filling in the blanks but I checked with George. He heard the same thing as me! And he kept saying it until we got up and saw the ball that was outside. ;]
He also faux counted. Hahaha. Funniest thing to hear in the world. I told him to jump off of his bike so I can take a picture and he started 'counting'. The one and two was iffy to understand but the he said 'free' for three and he'd jump. He kept doing in over and over. So silly.

Sleep
We're definitely getting a lot. I'm so blessed right now to have a baby that likes to sleep at night.
She averages 4-5 hour blocks and has pulled a 6 hour stretch!! Unfortunately for me I have to get up more often to pump. Gotta have milk once I go to work!
She also very rarely cries. She likes to wimper and whine more than anything. Only if I've neglected her for too long will she flat out cry. Just so you know I'm not a horrible parent...I've gotta juggle Oliver too, so sometimes Miss Scarlett gets impatient. But again, very rarely does she get that impatient. I like her. :]
Oliver started sleeping 8-10+ hours at 4 weeks. I don't knoe if we'll luck out that early with Scarlett, but she's definitely on her way.
