Catching Up

Life has, as always, been a little hectic these days.  We've been going nonstop and loving (almost) every minute of it!  I wanted to get a few pictures documented so I can somewhat be able to remember what life was like during this time.


Here's Lainey before church a few Sundays ago.  Jovan really wanted a picture in this outfit because he thought she looked so cute.  I asked her to pose, and this is what I got, ha! 


Lainey started soccer a few weeks ago.  She's taking it through a group here called "Tiny Toros".  There is a club league here, Toros, and the older girls are the "coaches" on Saturdays.  We had Lainey playing through the YMCA last year, and it was basically a complete joke.  In this program, it's a little more pricey, but I feel she is actually learning fundamentals, so it's worth the money.  They all have this lovely neon yellow shirt.  This picture is from her first game, and I'll have to add some new ones after this weekend.  We've had some changes to her wardrobe such as soccer cleats and some fabulous neon yellow soccer socks.  Not really sure why neon is so popular these days, but what can ya do?!

Here are the girls in their matchy-matchy zebra dresses.  Bless their hearts!  They were both sick in this picture!  We have been battling some illness here in the Tosic house this past week, and we're hoping there is an end in sight.  Lainey had strep throat last week, Lilly had a fever paired with an awful ear infection, and I had the stomach flu this week.  Lainey was great once the antibiotics kicked in, but her little sister has had a ROUGH time lately!  She weighed almost 14 lbs. at her 4 month check-up, and she has since lost a pound this month because she has had so many eating issues. :(  Her poor ears just haven't allowed her to do much.  We got to the point where she had to have three days of shots...hoping these ear infections don't become a regular occurance!

This picture was taken of the girls yesterday.  Getting a good one of both of them is nearly impossible, so this was the best we could get.  I still think they're pretty cute! :)  We're looking forward to a weekend home to recover and relax!

Happy Easter!

I don't have one of today yet, but here are our bunnies this weekend!

Four Months!

Cannot believe I am writing Lilly's 4 month post!  Time is flying by.  We're trying to enjoy every minute of it, and as much as I don't want time to go faster, I am looking forward to seven weeks from now when I get to hang out with my girls all the time for summer break! 

Here's Lilly's as current as can be info.  I'll update her actual weight and height after we go to her check-up next week. 

•We're guessing Lilly weighs somewhere around 14 pounds.  Still a healthy one!
•Lilly has started giggling.  She is very ticklish, and we love getting her to laugh.  She also laughs at her sister.  Lainey plays peekaboo with her, and she just laughs and laughs.  It is about the sweetest thing I've ever seen!

•So I thought that Lilly would be in her own room by now, but she's not...
  I don't know what is wrong with me, but I just can't put her in her own room yet.  I know it's completely     ridiculous, but I'm not making any apologies for it!  It's something about knowing she's the last one that makes me not able to let go of my baby.  I did feel a little better this week when I went to my yearly check-up with my doctor (whose daughter is a week younger than Lilly) and she told me her daughter is still in her room too :)

•Lilly goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 6:30.
•Lilly still drinks about 5-6oz. bottles a day. She's still on my milk, and I'm still pushing to make my 6 month goal!
•Lilly is wearing size 2 diapers.  She's wearing 3-6 month clothes, more leaning toward the 6 month side!  She's a little chunk!

•Shortly after she started rolling on her tummy at the beginning of last month, she also was able to roll back over.  You cannot put her on her back without her rolling right over.  This has presented a slight issue while she is sleeping, and that too may be contributing to why we're not putting her in her crib yet. 

  • Lilly took her first road trip this month.  We drove to Memphis on a last minute trip, so she has now been to 4 states.  She was an amazing traveler and I was constantly reminded of what a blessing she is!




And just for comparison's sake...Lainey at 4 months:

Getting ready for Easter

We're going to my parents house this year for Easter.  Bless their hearts, they come here all the time, so it's only fair that we make the trip to their house for the Easter weekend.  Since we'll be there next week, I thought we would dress in some sort of Easter attire for our church yesterday.  I REALLY wanted matchy matchy smocked dresses for their first Easter together, but I just haven't been able to find anything I want that I like or that is within my price range.  Two girls is expensive!  I put Lainey in her Easter dress from last year and put Lilly in a pink smocked set.  Close enough! 




I just love these two, and they sure do love each other!  We're looking forward to the week ahead and celebrating our Jesus being alive!
