February Update!

Writing her Valentine's for school

Just thought I'd finally get around to posting the pics of Mackenzie getting ready for Valentine's Day. She wrote in her cards for her school friends and also helped to "make" cookies for her friends. I also got cute little outfits for both her and Maegen but got no pics of them!! I forgot to get a pic of Mackenzie before she went to school so by the time she got home her outfit was dirty. Then Maegen peed all over hers before I could get any shots of her too! I guess I'll just have to dress them up again and take some pics.

Putting the cookies on the tray to go into the oven.

John and I had a nice day too. He got the day off so while Mackenzie was at school enjoying her party we headed out for lunch. We went to this great little restaurant in Little Italy and had a fantastic lunch. It was soooooo yummy!! My favorite part about this restaurant is that they have two sections to it, with one section being a bakery where they have desserts (did I spell that right?) to die for!! We took a little selection home to enjoy later! In the end I believe we all had a nice day!

The easiest cookies in the world to make!!

The day before Valentine's day we took the girls up to Disneyland! I was all prepared to take lots of photos of Maegen's first trip there, but it ended up being really busy so we didn't get to do a lot of meeting the characters and that type of stuff. We still managed to have fun though and it was nice to get to go back on some rides! Maegen did great on the trip and managed to sleep most of the day away. John has a day off this week so we are planning on going up there again, so this time we are hoping that it will be a lot less crowded as it will be during the week. Fingers crossed I can get all those shots of Maegen meeting the characters.


All dressed up for Disneyland....she later threw up all over this outfit!


Sisters sharing a moment!!

The girls are doing great and John and I are beginning to get the hang of a two kid family. In my last blog I believe I told you all about supplementing Maegen with formula. Well the whole supplementing part didn't last too long as she took to formula and began to refuse my boob! I just decided that we were going to just make the switch to formula and I think we are all happier for it. Maegen seems to be doing so much better on the formula. She's a lot more settled, she is pooping a lot more than what she used to (not sure sometimes if that's a good thing) and it's freed me up a lot! We have a doctors appointment next week to check up on her weight gain, so I think they'll be happy with her. I still have mixed emotions about it all as I know the importance of breast feeding, not to mention the bonding experience, but in the end if my little girl is happy and thriving then I am happy.

Me and my girl on her favorite ride!

Mackenzie is doing great and keeping busy. She is very excited for our upcoming trip to Disneyland and is ready to go on Small World and the Nemo ride! She also tells us that she wants to see Donald Duck and the Goof which is what she's calling Goofy these days for some reason. When we were leaving Disneyland last Sunday she managed to fall over and hit her head which was the most horrible sound I have ever heard. Thank goodness it sounded worse than it appeared and she came out of it with a small graze. She is now very quick to report any kind of bump, scratch or fall to us so we can kiss the injured part. She is now also taken to picking out her wardrobe at times which can lead to some interesting selections. At the moment she is in love with a skirt her Auntie Paula bought her which is kind of like a tutu. She calls it her princess dress and likes to wear over the top of what she is already wearing. I will have to get a pic to show you all.

Maegen's first ride on Small World and she slept through it all.

John and I are doing good, and there is nothing really new with either of us. I will be going back to work a couple of weeks earlier than what I may have originally told you. My start date is now March 14th. I'm looking forward to going back. I'm not looking forward to all the extra work that will entail to get us all organized and there every day, but getting out of the house and around people again is something I'm looking forward too!

Me and my baby!

So hopefully the next time I write I have a bunch of cute Disneyland pics to share with you all! Enjoy your week!!

I love my girls!!
