Randomness for the week.

Emily's birthday party is coming up this weekend. We are all pretty excited! Every year I try and do something a little different, I make everything from scratch, I try to give "earth friendly" goodie bags, I think I really go all out. This year is different. I am pretty much letting it all go. LOL! She is having her party at The Park Theatre and they are watching Toy Story 2. Oh, and they are eating pizza (veg and cheese), popcorn, and getting loot bags full of candy. I swear, I don't know what's happened to me. Thankfully they have agreed to let us use their reusable plates and utensils (they don't normally do that for kids) and we ordered a fruit and veggie tray, oh and they also have juice boxes. I am also paying someone to make the cake. Its going to be a themed one and I really couldn't have done that on my own.

Anna had her 4 month appointment on Monday. She weighs almost 16 pounds. It should be noted that at this point in Cole's life he weighed 20 pounds! Its amazing the difference between each child. I love our pediatrician. He has no interest in the early introduction of solids that so many of my friends seem to get with their pediatrician. He is also full of such great breastfeeding support. AND he is a vegetarian so he is more than supportive of our decision to raise our children that way.

Tuesday is always such a busy day. Emily has nursery school in the morning, and then we rush off to a mom's group that I have been attending since Cole was born. Its so funny that the group has so many returning moms. I guess we all have babies every 2 years?

The rest of the week is pretty busy as well. Tomorrow Emily has nursery again, and Amy is coming over in the afternoon. I haven't seen her since before Anna was born because she has been in Ottawa at school. Friday, I am babysitting in the morning while my sister-in-law goes to a dr's appointment and we are supposed to see Margarida sometime too. Friday night is always movie and pizza night here, and then Saturday is the party! Sunday we have church, and we try to swim afterwards and then Emily has kindermusik at 2:45. Sunday evening we have friends coming over for a bbq.
Sometime in there I have to start planning Andrea's baby shower, find a chair to go with the desk I got Emily for her birthday, grocery shop for the bbq and finally file our taxes. We owe pretty big this year too, boo :(

Teeth at 3 months?

Anna has a tooth! She's actually a little older than Cole was when he got his first tooth, but she seems so much smaller. That might have to do with the fact that at this age he outweighed her by almost 5 pounds, but still. Something about knowing that this may be our last baby is making me really treasure her baby-ness.

We had a crazy spring break. Play date after play date after play date. We were all exhausted when the week finally ended. Well, actually, Dave and I have been catching up on season 3 of Lost every night, that might be why I'm exhausted ;) We watched 4 episodes last night!
Cole and Emily are being a little too quiet for my liking. I better go check on how big of a mess they are making!
