Mother's day Miracle

I apologize to my friends who have commented on my not blogging. It has been so crazy lately!! On Mother's day we had a miracle- Olivia finally started eating!! YEAH!!!! She just started eating at my Mother's day outing!! We didn't do anything different- she just decided to start eating. We were amazed because she ate a plate of pasta & asked for more and she has't stopped since! She even eats with a spoon- although she still prefers to hold the spoon and eat with her hand. It gets really messy with things like yogurt- but it sure is a joy to see her finally eating!!





I am so not used to straight hair after taking care of Abbey & Belle's curly locks!! The first few attempts made Olivia look like Alfalfa with a spike coming out of her head. The 2 pony tails seem to be cute but not too weird.



Abbey is growing into a talented young lady. She took piano lessons this year and had her first recital. She was so scared because she had to memorize her song. Despite her protests "I can never memorize it mom" she did a wonderful job. We were so proud or her!! Its hard to believe she will starting the third grade in August. Blink ;-)when did she get so big??





Belle has really taken to Olivia. She is jealous of anyone- even Abbey- doing things with her because that is HER sister. When Olivia had to get another round of shots recently- I think she cried louder than Oliva did! "Don't hurt my sister" she kept screaming at us. We tried to explain it was to keep Olivia from getting sick but she was mad at us.



Belle has finally decided to potty train. She goes 80-90% of the time on the potty right now. (Thank God!! One more to go!!:) She even amazed me that she has gone at the restaurant a few times. (Abbey used to shudder at public potties and it took forever for her to go on them :)
