Today I was looking back at past posts and I realized how much she has grown in just weeks. I was noticing the picture of Nona and her, because you can she her length across Mom's body, and she is sooo much longer already!
You know the true definition of "Incredible" is 'not credible, so extraordinary as to seem impossible.' We overuse the word so often that it deminshes the true meaning. Think about it. It is meant to describe something grand and amazing....so here I am using it correctly:
I can't believe how INCREDIBLE God's creation truly is. How sad that some people just don't get it. I know I say this often, but having a baby/children totally brings you closer to the Lord. I mean how could it not? HELLO! There is no other explanation for ALL of the many things that happen to our bodies! And, since I got the double baby dose, I think I am a pretty wise one in this department! :)
It is also incredible that both of my babies are asleep at this very moment so that I am able to write this post!
Just thought I would share my Oh, So Very Random thought for the day! Ha!

Playing at Home
Today, like most days, we are surviving all together, somehow...without a car. Daddy has been off work for two days and will be coming home at three today! For now we are just playing at home. Yesterday we took our weekly family outing...to the ever so popular grocery store (Woohoo). I have officially become that Mother I never wanted to be...the one that lets her kid eat the food from the store while shopping, oh yes, I'm that lady! How rediculous? I know people do it, and I guess it is only because they are in the same situation I was in yesterday...SNACKTIME. Let it be known, I will probably forget his snack again, but I will try my very best to bring it along with us next time! I continue to forget things, no matter how many times we go over the list for diaper bag contents, we always leave something so important...like snacks or pacifiers. Oh, the Mommy mind!
Anyway, here are some shots of our day so far.
H has gotten bananas all over his brand new outfit, and the pants were so messy after breakfast, we lost them to the washing machine in hopes of no stains!
Oh my, What a messy playroom!
B in her swing.
Look at those leg muscles!!

One Month! Woohoo!!
We have survived one whole month SO FAR! Woohoo! I can't believe she is already one month old. Time has really flown for us this time around. This past week she has been what I call "sleeping through the night" because she is now sleeping for up to 5 hours at night. I have not fixed her schedule just yet for it to be the typical sleeping through the night that begins at eleven...according to all of the books. I just let her sleep from nine or ten to when she wakes to dreamfeed. How exciting! We are doing good when we get sleep, but this week I have been dealing with a gassy little one, therefore, it was not every night. I made lasagna with onions and garlic in the meat sauce...and she was not having it. Hopefully, one day she will share my passion for Italian deliciousness, but for now she is on hold. Other than that, everything is going pretty textbook for B.
Harrison is still getting to know her, and he held her hand yesterday...so sweet. She just looks at him so seriously, trying ot figure him out I guess. Good Luck hunny! He has gotten more calm around her, thank goodness! But, she totally knows his voice, screams and wines. I think this week I totally fell in love with H all over again. He is getting to the place in life were he really wants to snuggle, which is priceless moments for a mother. He is so precious and he just loves hugs and kisses. He also now loves piccolini pasta (the pinwheels) with butter and parmesian cheese sprinkled on top. He is the cutest thing to see eat these with his spoon. He puts the pasta on his spoon, then covers it up with his left hand while he pushes all three articles in his mouth at the same time, usually dropping the pasta because hi shand go in the way. He is trying though, which is all that matters. And, it is so funny to see, but I can't laugh because he is as serious as anything...he is trying to figurte this spoon business out.
I can't wait until she can crawl around and they can play together. I am hoping she will develop as quickly as he did...crawling by 6 months. If so, I only have 5 more to go!!
Here are some new pictures of our little ones. Click on the ones of B for better detailing of her face right now. The color looks so much better when the picture is enlarged...and her eyes are getting lighter and lighter blue!!
Hanging out on my changing station. This is the fabric for her bedding. I know black and white sounds dreadful for a baby nursery, but I think it turned out perfect for her!
Sleepy H hanging out by the gate while I change a tiny diaper. It was his naptime.
Playing on the couch with Daddy
Excuse the Mommy and the attire, but these are B's adorable bunny slippers Mom (Nona) just sent her for Valentines Day. They are so soft and fuzzy wuzzy. She likes them on her little twinkle toes.

COWGIRL In Charge!
Click on these to see her BABY BLUES!
B at 3 weeks...who is this little one with so much blonde hair? I am still in shock that she is sooo light headed!...but so precious! She is modeling her "Cowgirl In Charge" outfit from my sweet friend, Beth! I love it!!
And, here she is in an adorable outfit from my Aunt Helen...she was not having the photo op, but I had to take it when I could...i NEVER get pictures of her, so even the crying one has to be posted. She was ok, just wanted to be snuggled...and we did IMMEDIATELY after I snapped it!
Poor Toby keeps getting locked behind one of our many Baby gates! He even got to take a nap with H the other day! I totally locked him in there for two hours...oopps! Who needs some sleep?? That would be me!

Cupcakes!
So, of course my love for cupcakes has rubbed off onto my selection of clothing for B. I just had to have this onesie...and it perfectly says "Mommy's Little Sweetie." I could not have made it better myself! Ha! I did notice that many of her pictures, she is wearing this one. She does wear other things! She just looks the best in cupcakes! 
And here is a lovely view of HOW BADLY I need a ray of sunlight on my skin. My child, who has been living in a dark womb for ten months has more of a tan than I do. How sad am I? Oh, I miss Cali!!

Nona AKA "Nohnah"
I think I mentioned my Mom was here for about 9 days, thank the Good Lord, and it was the fastest 9 days of my life. This was the first time she has seen H since this past summer when he was barely rolling over (5 months)...what a huge difference from now! It was really good to see her, but I think she spent most of her time learning how to get into child safety locks & how cool H's toys are. He thinks so anyway. Harrison now knows how to get the safety first locks open as well. Our kid is so smart it scares us daily! You think they could figure out a way to child proof things, really!
He is quite the handful of fun times, and I know her PT will be glad to see her soon! HA!
We all had a great visit with Jan. We got to take her to one of our fabulous TJMAXX stores here...we have one on every corner..I know, be so very jealous, right?! And we bought all kinds of goodies! She got H and B some new adorable things as well as me some NO LONGER PREGNANT clothes!! My fav! There is just something about being able to finally buy what is in style b/c everyone knows that after ten months of pregnancy (times two) and with the change of seasons (L.A. to Boston)...styles have changed! I need some serious updates to the wardrobe! And, she helped.
We were also somehow able to take her to the North End of downtown Boston, also known as the Italian section...the REAL Italians! And the food is none other than DIVINE! She got the same entree that we always get, and it was as always delightful. I could go for some Fettaccine & Prosciutto right at this moment!! Sadly, there is so much to see in Beantown, and with the new lifestlye we have recently adopted, there was just not enough time to show her any of it...other than the TJMAXX and Antiquo Forno. Ha ! I think she had a good visit, but I'm sure sleeping on an air bed for 8 nights gets rough...and who doesn't want to come home to a brand new fabulous Maxima? I would!! So thanks Mom!!! You made H's birthday a success! And the rest of the week could not have been better! Love You! And Dad, thanks for letting me borrow her...I'm sure you were a mess without her there that long.
Here are some shots of her with the little guys!
Oh, and her name is Nona, like "on"...we all (Andy and Russ) just tease her and call her Nohnah, because she is so much fun to tease and we know she secretly loves it! :)

Where has the time gone?? Already, she has smiled, held her head alone, been to her first birthday party, met her Nona, and played with Toby and her brother, the infamous H. She must be exhausted! What a life!
Our family is now complete (hopefully)! And we are so proud of our thriving little ones!!
