Friday Phone Dump

Just a heads up, there is so much baby cuteness in this post you may not be able to handle it!

I swear Lennox can read my mind.  EVER.SINGLE.TIME. I sit down and eat she decides to cry. Seriously, every time! I was starving one night and Pete was still at work so I finally got desperate and put her in the bumbo for the first time.  She sat as quiet as a mouse my entire meal. It was a miracle!

I wish she was this happy all day long, that smile slays me! She is always so happy in the morning. I don't know anyone who wakes up first thing in the morning as happy as she does. I sure don't.

I realized on Saturday night how much my life has changed in the last 3-4 years.  Who knew this is what I would be doing on a Saturday night.  Watching Harlow play with the Legos at Barnes and Noble while browsing the children's books and parenting books.

Watching cartoons.

I walked in to see Harlow whispering to baby sister and trying to hold her hand.

Baking some Valentine's Day treats with Harlow.  Hot pink chocolate chip cookies!

She was throwing a nice little screaming fit, until I turned her around in my lap.

Daddy came home from work early to go to the park with us!

Harlow loves this playground.

Finally got results back from her tests and turns out she's lactose intolerant.  So we are trying a special formula for 10 days to see if there is any improvement. I got to finally have coffee again!

This must be her, 'I spit up all over my outfit and yours too mom' face.

Friday Phone Dump

This Friday's Phone Dump has a ton of what's happening in our lives.  We took a zoo trip, went to Grandma and Papa's to watch the Super Bowl, taught Harlow how to ride her scooter outside (with her new helmet) and watched Harlow grow up right before our eyes. She is seriously getting so big, I want my baby back!

Harlow and I cuddled up one afternoon to watch Homeward Bound.



My partner in crime and best shopping buddy.

We bought and Ergo carrier for baby and attempted to take a walk one afternoon.  Harlow rode her scooter.  We didn't last long, Lennox cried...

Carrying her like this made me feel 9 months pregnant all over again.

Riding her scooter with her new helmet.

She's always in the best mood when she first wakes up.

2 months old.

Pete was my chauffeur, we were driving home from Harlow's gymnastics class.

Took 2 month pictures for Lennox, but have barely started to edit them.

Harlow reading a story to her bear while I fed Lennox.

I straightened her hair and she went from almost 3 years old to 20 years old in minutes.  It's crazy how much older it made her look.

Chaffee Zoo

For Christmas Papa Rick, Grandma Lori and Jessi gave our family a season pass to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. Harlow has been to the Dallas Zoo, the Seattle Zoo, the Denver Zoo and San Diego Zoo but never the Fresno Zoo so it was about time we went.  I'm excited to have passes to go more often.  This trip we invited my parents to come along too.  Harlow loved seeing all the animals and since this zoo isn't too big we didn't take the stroller.  She got to run around and check things out for herself.  She even got to feed the giraffes.  And we got to check out the newest exhibit, the sea lions.  Lennox of course slept through the entire trip. Maybe next time baby sister will be able to appreciate it more. We didn't get to see everything so we'll have to plan another trip soon.
