Lulu's Lil Sis...

Howdy People,

So I have to tell you what it's like to be Lulu's Lil Sis.   Let's recap a typical day in the life of me...

First Lulu wakes up and runs into Mom's room, usually slamming the door open into my crib,  "Wakey Wakey" she shouts.   Lulu is normally fully dressed in her outfit of choice.  Today she wore ALL of this UNDER her "Cinderella Dress".    (Notice we're missing a purple shoe which led to a 45 minute melt down later in the morning).

She then runs into my room, opens up my drawers and picks out an outfit for.... nope not me but STELLA.   Yes every morning Stella is dressed first.    I also have to share with you that I never get a "fresh" diaper as all of the ones Mom puts on my bum have been used by either Stella or "Baby" first.    (Lulu rolls them up just like Mom does with mine and throws them in her bin, Mom goes and collects them and uses them on me!)  Hand-Me-Down clothes ok but diapers... a step to far (at least Stella's poo is not stinky!)

After Stella is dresses and shoed... Lulu will then go find an outfit for me.   She always picks out the best ones.... and they always match (she will find a tiny patch of colour that matches and tada I'm dressed!)

Mom took a photo of us all together on Friday... mind you this all normally happens pre 7:30am at the latest!

Then we have our breakfast and get ready to drop Lulu off at school.   We're lucky if we make it out the door in the same outfits we had on earlier in the day as Lulu changes her mind a lot.   Friday was a good day as only Stella had a change of shoes!   (Notice how my sock/shoes match perfectly my skirt and you can get a sense of Lulu's great matching skills.  I hope I'm that good when I'm big).

After we drop Lulu off at school, it's just Mommy and Me for a few hours.   What do we do?  Well my favorite 3 things of course....

FEED ME MAMA

SNOOZE WITH ME MAMA

CHANGE ME STINKY BUM MAMA   (She didn't manage to get a good photo of me yet but I'm sure she'll catch me off guard sometime soon!)   Here is a photo of a pre-belly blowout!

Finally, Mom and I head back over to Lulu's school and pick her up to come home eat dinner and then sometimes we all go for a family walk since the evenings are getting nice.    Here we are ready for our adventure.  That's me behind the hat people in case you don't recognize those chunky thighs!   Stella even made it out last week!

So that's a day in the life of me.  Sounds exhausting, think I'll have a snack and sleep some more!
Love, Janey

It's his Birthday Fashion Show

Howdy People,

So Lu called me over the other day, "Hey Janey look at the date! It's Daddy's Birthday on Saturday!"

She said we needed to come up with a plan on what to do... we drank on it as she gave me my first bottle...

And we pulled out hair out thinking of what to get him...

Oh what oh what would Daddy like?

And then Lu put her thinking Umbrella on and came up with an idea!

"Come here Janey"she said, "We'll have a fashion show for Daddy-o!"   So after a good snooze, I thought yes that would do and dusted off my hands to prepare!

So the morning of his birthday we woke up and put our princess dresses on...

Lu embellished hers with swimming goggles and a necklace!

After Lunch we decided to represent our American 1/2 with some Red, White & Blue...

Then after our nap Daddy was due to come home from golfing so we all put on our party hats, Lulu organized everyone...

And we waited to yell surprise to Daddy!  (Lulu said my Surprise was a bit early!)

Finally, after Dinner we put our dancing shoes on to eat some cake!

We also made sure to wear out party hats...

That's right people, Dixie and Daddy have the same birthday! 

Daddy said his birthday fashion show was the best present ever!

My work here is done... back to snoozing.

Love Janey

Three Babies and a Lulu

Howdy People,

So last weekend I was chillin out eating my hands...

And chillin in my hood....

When Lulu came to get me....  " Janey we need to go see Nana in Kilkenny" she said quite seriously.  

OK I said and we ganged up on Mom and Dad....  Lulu told me I was going to love it down there and that she was excited to show everyone what a great big sister she is.

When we arrived down, Mom and Dad stopped off to pick up some things at the shop....  Mom asked Lulu if she wanted a sandwich or chicken curry for lunch.  (Chicken Curry is Lu's favorite).   She turned to Mom and said "Mom we have OPTIONS!"  Mom almost died laughing... I had to interrupt... Janey Needs FOOD People!  So I scouted out a place.

After Lunch we stopped by Great Granddad's... what a great guy!  I gave my best "Here's lookin' at you folks pose!"

While we were there Abby came over (she's my fairy godmother's daughter - Daddy's cousin Claire's kiddo).   

Then we headed to Nana & Granddad's house... I had to choose a spot to sit...

"Go Away Lulu it's MY turn to be held by Nana!"   (Lulu is more jealous of Nana than Mama!)

But the weekend didn't end there.   Daddy's friends Tommy & AnnMarie came over.  I had to scope him out as they just had twin girls a month before me!

Lu checked them out as well... she liked seeing two babies!

Mommy & AnnMarie decided to switch babies.... until I heard them talking about me.   They said I weighed almost the same as the twins combined.   Not sure what Mom was talking about!

Grandad had to have a go at comparing our weights so I decided to put my back into it and give it my all!

Amy & Lily were not pleased that I wont the Poker Award.... the prize a good SNOOZIN!

After all that excitement Mom said she'd give me a bath... had to get down to my birthday suit...

Porker?  Who you calling Porker?

Over and Out People...
