Purple Zebra Pinata
Reese has chosen a "Purple Zebra" theme for her 3rd birthday and we are having a lot of fun planning for it! I wanted a pinata for the kids this year since it will be outside and Cody jokingly said that I "could make one". At first I laughed but then go curious if I really could.... and I did!

Instructions here although I used crepe streamer instead of crepe paper sheets since it's all I could find.
Scarlett's 2 Week Check Up
Scarlett had a check up at 17 days old and boy is she gaining weight!
She has increased her weight from 23% at 3 days old to 56%!
Weight: 8# 10oz (56%)
Length: 21.25in* (79%)
Head Circumference: 36.8cm (66%)
*There is some discrepancy in length between the hospital and the pediatrician
She loves sleeping on her tummy (with supervision of course)

Emma is 15 Months
Emma turned 15 months on 12/30/11!
Weight: 22 pounds (38%)
Length: 31.25 inches (75%)
Head Circumference: 48.5cm ("High"...nice way of saying 99-100%)
She still LOVES to eat, dance, do art & play with play doh :) She is walking everywhere and even sometimes trying to run! I can tell her vocabulary is about to take off because she is starting to try and repeat words. She can say "dada", "momma", "all done", "more", "dog", "yay", "that" (as in what's that?) and "gentile". She is trying to say "please" as she signs it and is also trying to say "thank you". She understands A LOT of what we tell her which I am impressed with. Emma loves to sleep and will walk to her bed when she's tired. We will soon be transitioning her crib to a toddler bed.
Emma is truly the joy of our lives! She is always happy, full of smiles, and keeps us laughing every day!

Scarlett's 1st Week
I can't believe Scarlett is over a week old already! She has been a great baby and the girls absolutely LOVE her :) Here is what we have been up to for the past week...
1 Day Old:
2 Days Old:
Checking out her new room
3 Days Old:
1st Pediatrician Visit
She was down to 6#13oz (almost a pound) so we had to supplement twice
1st Neighborhood Walk
1st Bath at Home
4 Days Old (Uncle Jason came to visit):
5 Days Old:
6 Days Old (Newborn Photo Shoot Sneak Peek):
We went back to the pediatrician for a weight check and she was up to 7# 8oz (an 11oz gain in just 3 days) so the pediatrician was thrilled.
7 Days Old:
Reese's quotes for the week "I have TWO sisters!" and "Thank you Mommy for baby Scarlett!" (my heart melted when she said that). Emma is now saying "gentle" as she's learning how to touch her new little sister.
We are all adjusting great and blessed to be a family of 5!
