Pictures, but not as many as I wanted...

I have loads of pictures from yesterday, but I give up trying to post them. Here are the first five that did upload.

This is the walk down Steph's driveway.



Olivia rocking on Abby's rocking horse in her room.



Leo hanging out with us.



Olivia giving Leo a kiss. She loves him. Today on the way up the stairs when I was holding both of them, she said, "Leo so cute!"


And hanging out with Abby/Olivia's doll, Hannabee, who has to do everything Leo does, including tummy time, eating, burping, diaper changing, etc.

Back on the internet

Steph's internet was out for a while and we have been busy, so here are some pictures from the past week or so...

Olivia feeding her baby:



Leo ruling from his throne in the Boppy:



My farm girl going to check cows:





Leo in his six-month clothes! Can you believe it?!

Tuesday

Snow yesterday, up to 67 degrees today. Bizarre. I didn't get pics of the kids riding bikes to Grandma Clara's to see the baby chicks, but here is one of Olivia taking her temperature today.



And one of Leo grabbing at his mobile.

Just another manic Monday

Today was a little rough for everyone. We had three inches of snow, so Abby didn't have preschool and Craig's school was delayed. Leo had a bad day--just fussy all day. I'm tired and haven't had a shower since Saturday. Eeew.

Here is Olivia in Abby's Wonder Woman costume and Abby pretending to be a heifer.



Here is Olivia looking out her bedroom window at the snow.



Here is Craig holding Leo (asleep) before school.



This is Olivia saying, "I text my daddy." So funny. She has been saying lots of cute things lately!

How they grow!

I haven't talked about Leo enough. He is a joy and a great baby. He is already batting at objects on his mobile, lifting his head with moderate control, cooing, and simply being sweet. He is still a grazer when it comes to eating, and it is still challenging to feed him and pump in under 40 minutes while entertaining Olivia, but it is getting easier I have several quarts of milk in the freezer now, so supply is not an issue. He likes to eat every 2 hours or so, though. I am trying to get him to space it out. He went four hours between feedings a few nights ago. Awesome! He continues to mostly sleep at night, waking every 2-3 hours to eat.



Leo's first tummy time...and he tried to roll over!



Olivia has quite the imagination these days, with Craig and Abby's help, of course. Today she was a sick pirate and needed medicine--water from a syringe, she rode a dragon--Brandon's home gym, she made Mommy dinner in her kitchen--fries and hot tea, burped her baby--Minnie Mouse, and danced and danced--saying, "Go, Mommy!" to get me to sing.

Ringo, the barnyard dog.



And this is a picture from the drive up.
