Photo Shoot, Birthday and Dance

We've been busy over here, two kids really keeps you on your toes and allows zero down time. It seems that when one kid is eating, the other is sleeping and visa versa. Oliver has a nasty case of acid reflux so spit up bombs go off all the time, which leads to non stop laundry fun. Hopefully we get it under control soon.

Recently we had a family photo shoot, it was a fun morning and both Maelin and Oliver were in good moods. Here are some of the pictures we got from the shoot!

Other big news is that Maelin turned 3, which is just crazy! We had a low key birthday since she has been getting so spoiled since Oliver has been born. She got a purple cake and a few presents, enough to make her very happy.

Maelin also has joined a dance class on Saturday mornings called The Fairytale Ballet. The teacher reads a book each week and after the kids dress up in costumes and act out the story. It is too cute.

Week 1: I forgot the book already but she is a Bee here

Week 2: Listening to Tangled

Weeks 2: Acting out Tangled

Week 3: Acting out Goodnight Moon 

And of course we cannot forget the little man. He is already two months and has transformed into a linebacker. Aside from the reflux he is a happy baby and has started to smile lots, which is the absolute best, now I just need to capture it on camera!

One Month Old

Mister Oliver is already a month old. We don't have much to blog about these days due to the lovely weather which has mostly kept us inside (I don't think -12 wind chills are suitable for a newborn). Target and Buy Buy Baby have seen lots of us, as a little shopping always helps break up the day.

Oliver is a really good baby, he cries when hungry or wet and other than that he is content just taking in the world. Maelin is loving that he is a bit more interactive and has been taking good care of her the little guy. 

She also has been super busy with a transition to a new classroom. She is learning Mandarin and Spanish (her preferred language is Spanish) and also how to public speak. Each week she needs to bring in something for show and tell and present to the class. This week was the letter "D" so she brought in a stuffed dog. When her teacher asked her where she got it from, her response was "my bed." The teacher obviously was wondering if it was a gift and/or who it was from, ha!
