Adjusting and the end of the year...


Well we are adjusting quite well to our little family of four.  Lindy is such a sweet baby!  She still sleeps most of the day- but EVERYTHING is so much easier the 2nd go around.  I do think she is an easier baby than Allie was- but I am way less stressed out as a momma as well.  She is sleeping great as well! Last night she ate at 9:30, again at 3ish and then not again till 6 am... I'm doing a pretty good job of going to bed before 10 so I feel pretty rested as well.  (I will still try to sneak a nap in if both girls are sleeping at the same time!)  Also in addition to only really waking up 1x a night- go goes right back to bed as soon as she is finished sleeping... Allie did NOT do that as I remember being up a 3 am trying to get her to go back to sleep!  Blessings!  I'm not sure how long they will last- but I will count them daily!  Allie is also adjusting really well to being a Big Sister!  She has only asked me 1 time when she was going to go back into my belly- other times she just wants to double check that she isn't in my tummy any more so I can pick her up and hold her too.. She is so precious! 


Mothers day out will end at the end of May and I have started to look around for things to do with Allie this summer! I know she needs the interaction with other kids- and a way to help burn her energy... so we will find a swim lessons, or a dance class or other summer camp...

Here are her class pictures.  Her little friends are so adorable.  The top picture is her Tues/ Thurs class. The friends from L to R are: Genavive, Allie, Jaiden, Zain, Josh, Emily & Carol.
The bottom picture is the Wed class. The friends names are: Remmy, Jaiden, Allie (Ms Jenny) Riley, Connor & Zinnadean.  We have had such a great experience this year with MDO.  Allie's teacher has been so amazing!  I think that she has loved having Allie in her class... her notes home every day have been so sweet!  She was really good about helping Allie to use her words, share and not hit, kick- etc our friends! :) such big lessons for such a rowdy girl!
