Our big little girl!

On Monday we had the opportunity to go to a Brewer's game courtesy of Ben.  So Karolyn, Ben, Naomi, Dominick, Mom, Erika, Laura, Karl, and Katie took off for Milwaukee.  We tailgated with some delicious burgers and chicken wings--although the Brewer's lost it was still a hoot.  It was also Diana's first Brewer's game and she got a little certificate that we filled out certifying her first (hopefully of many) game. 

 To continue with Diana-we had her two month check up and here are her enormous stats:)  She is 13 lbs 1 oz and 23 inches long-this puts her in the 90th percentile for height and weight.  This means she's huge!  Our little peanut has packed on the weight and we're glad she's so healthy.  She has a first too---drumrole......she has slept through the night twice in the past week!  She gave us 8 straight hours of sleep both time with makes us feel like rockstars come morning!!!

 This little monkey toy is Diana's best friend--she constantly chats to it and love falling asleep while looking at it-it is quite sweet.

 I took these smiling pics of Diana in this particular onesie because Marcy's first documented pics were in this onesie so---if I can recover those from our busted old computer we can compare!

Right before Naomi dumped a whole cup of grape drink on herself...

Naomi photo-bombing us:)

 Sausage pics:)

 Marcy watched me use the booger sucker a few times and she thought she'd try it on herself...then when I wasn't paying attention......Diana's poor ear has been booger sucked

 Diana is one happy camper almost all of the time.  When she turned about 7 weeks old she became the most pleasant little girl and it has become quite fun!  She is one chunky happy girl:)

Marcy only lasts about two seconds holding Diana-and when she's finished she simply trys to drop her and walk away.  Needless to say, there isn't any unsupervised holding time:)

Deleted posts

Any reader out there know how to get back deleted posts?  I do NOT care for this new style of blogspot and in my stumblings, I deleted 5 or so posts.  I am frustrated and would like to know how to get them back if possible! Please help!

Baptism, visits, and much much more!

In this post you get quite a variety of pics!  You get to see the variety of Marcy faces and modeling her first pair of sunglasses:)  You can see Diana's first captured smiles--this is really hard to do!  Now I think I'll try again because she is smiling ALOT and she is now recognizing when Marcy invades her space and will smile at Marcy.  We have a few from Diana's baptism which was April 15-my sister Martina was in town so it was great that she got to be there for this special day.  Thanks to everyone to came to support us in this covenant of baptism!   We got matching outfits for all of the grandkids on the Gesch side of the family and took a ba-jillion pics and managed to get a few good ones!   And the very last picture is Diana's first smile at a stranger--my sister Karolyn was trying to calm her down and our friend Rachel came over and just started talking to her and Diana grinned away:) It was darling!!!!! 

Two months into being parents of two children I think we've settled into a good pattern of a smidge more sleep and lots more smiles and the beginnings of a routine.  We're so thankful to all be happy (most of the time) and healthy!

Lady Di is in the house

We are proud to announce the arrival of Diana Louise Walcott

6 lbs.14 oz and 21 in. long

She was born perfectly healthy with the regular 10 fingers and 10 toes required:)  She, however, was born with some extra tissue under her tongue causing her to be tongue tied.  (after having Marcy maybe this isn't such a bad thing:))  We decided to have the procedure to clip this tissue in the hospital and now she will be able to lick ice cream cones, walls, or toys--whatever requires her tongue to be able to leave her mouth.  Joey also had to have this procedure done but he was a 10 yr old and mourned many a non-licked ice-cream cone so he wanted her to have it done right away:)  Procedure called a frenulectomy.  Cool name for a three and a half second procedure. 

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, cards, calls, gifts etc...  We are finally settled in at home and have already had doctors check-ups.  Diana already weighs 7 lbs 15 oz.  The frenulectomy doesn't seem to have slowed her down!    Marcy is doing allright with this little life changing blob known as a little sister.  She calls her Di-na-na-na-na-na-na usually stringing 5-7 na's at the end.  Her main job is throwing away the mountain of dirty diaper Diana produces and she takes it very seriously:)  So here is a huge dump of pictures from the hospital up until this past weekend--it is CRAZY how quickly Diana has changed in only three weeks of life!  We praise God for a healthy little girl who is, at this rate, going to catch up with Marcy by fall!

 

Marcy loves to talk on the phone:)

Hello-
Internet hasn't been liking the whole blog thing so I haven't been able to post. I tried to save some time by adding a photobucket account so that I could upload whole albums in slideshow format. However, photobucket doesn't like my blog anymore so I can't have a pretty slideshow. SO, here's the link. After clicking it you should find photos of a visit to Casa Bonita, Casa Bonita la la la la la la la:) and some karaoke and other things.
