Busy Week!

Just wanted to do a quick update while I have a moment! Here's the notables from last week: 1. Lilly is now pulling her legs underneath her and scooting across the floor...crawling is seriously in our very near future! 2. Lilly caused some pain while trying to chomp on our fingers this week, why??? Because teeth have appeared on th bottom! 3. I survived yet another year of 6th grade!!! I've enjoyed my first few days off, and I'm looking forward to a fun and relaxing summer! :)

Fun Weekend

***WARNING!!! Lots of pictures!***

We had such a fun weekend!  It started with me going out with some of my friends Friday after school.  As much as I dislike my job sometimes, I sure do love the people I work with!  My parents also came here Friday night.  We celebrated Dad's birthday with some cake and ice cream.  Lainey is always SO excited to see them, and I love it!!!!

Saturday morning we all went to Lainey's last day of soccer.  This soccer experience has been much better than our one last year.  It was like a mile from our house, Lainey actually learned the basics of soccer, and she had a blast playing...what's not to love?!?





Some of Lainey's biggest fans!

Look at their faces!  They are all just loving life!

After soccer we went and had brunch for Mother's Day and I got a little shopping time in with my parents.  That night my parents watched the girls and we got to go on a double date with Jake and Megan.  We've never gotten to do that, and we, of course, had a blast.  Then Jovan,  Dad, and I went to the late night showing of the Avengers.  I loved it!  I'm a closet nerd when it comes to stuff like that.  I love X-Men and Iron Man, and this movie didn't disappoint! :)

Today we went to church and had lunch with my grandparents.  We then came home and spent the afternoon playing outside.  It was so much fun to just hang out.  We ended the evening with a cook out at my brother's.  Great end to a great weekend!

Me and my girls

Daddy's girls

Pretty sure we NEVER get pictures anymore, so I made sue my dad took a couple today!

Jovan always insists on this picture-so cheesy! :)

I told Jovan this morning that I wish we could freeze time right now.  I absolutely love this stage of our lives.  I have loved every other stage, but for some reason I think I could be in this place for a lifetime.  I've had a lot of time to sit and thank God today for the tremendous gift He has given me in being a mom.  So blessed!!!

Five Months!

May 3rd already??  Well baby girl is five months old, and she is getting more and more fun every day!  We've had a rough month in the Tosic house.  Lilly had her first ear infection, and quite frankly, we've not gotten a ton of sleep this month.  As my mom pointed out, we've been extrememly spoiled with her, so by me saying we've not gotten a lot of sleep, it's still more than most!  She seems to be better now and is back to wanting to eat again.  I'm pretty sure she's now making up for lost time, ha!
•Lilly weighs around 14 pounds.  She lost some weight in the last month since she rarely ate.  She's such a sweet little peanut!  We're not sure how long she is...we'll save that for her 6 month check up!
•Lilly is laughing all the time.  The best part about it is she laughs without being tickled--she just laughs because she thinks something is funny.  Her sister is still her best entertainment.
•Good news...Lilly has moved to her crib!  It just happened last week, but hey-we've had a rough month, remember?!  She's doing okay in her crib.  Most of the nights she has made it the whole night.  On the couple of nights when she's woken up aroun 3 or 4, we cheat and bring her to our bed.  We are definitely from the school of "whatever works" until the summer! 
•Lilly goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 6:30, wherever that may be!

•Lilly is up to 7-8 oz. bottles.  We tried cereal, but she is not feeling it AT ALL!  I'm being a bad mom and sneaking some in her bedtime bottle...it's seemed to work.  She is still on breastmilk, and I have cut my pumping down to only twice a day.  I tried to quit once last week and after almost throwing up from the pain at 3 in the morning, I decided I'd go a little longer.  I forgot how awful it is to quit!
•Lilly is still wearing size 2 diapers. She's wearing 3-6 month clothes, more leaning toward the 6 month side!

•Lilly REALLY wants to move!  You can tell she has the desire, she just can't quite get it figured out yet.  She pushes herself all the way up, but then she cannot figure out how to get those knees underneath her.  It's only a (short) matter of time before she's mobile!  We also think teeth are in the near future.  She constantly has her hands in her mouth!

How we got another blonde haired, blue-eyed baby is beyond us, but boy am I counting down the days until I get to spend lots of time with this sweet girl soon!!!
