Well, yesterday was a big day, Matthew hit the 21 month mark and Alexandra is officially 3 weeks old.
This picture is actually from the 1st of Nov so Alex is actually 2 weeks old. She is finally no longer yellow and was putting on weight....Mommy was having fun putting her in pink...kinda overdid it with pink outfit, pink bow and the blanket....
Again, 2 weeks old...growing into her face and her body....still wearing new born size clothes. Mostly legs and arms, she is long and skinny like Matthew.
Officially 3 weeks old, wearing some of the gender neutral clothes that I bought before we knew what we were having...Matthew lived in these sleeper-footie outfits and Alex finally is fitting somewhat in the 0-3 month size...the length is perfect, but b/c she is so skinny she somewhat doesn't fill it out...the New Born size footie outfits are getting a bit tight if she wants to stretch out and extend her legs...so basically have one or two more wears in them and then they will have to get packed up....kinda sad....already having to pack up clothes at just 3 weeks.
Matt did not want to cooperate on the pictures...he kept pulling off the sticker and giving me the frown face...so decided I would just try again the next morning...this was 14 Nov, officially 21 months....he had a great day at daycare and is loving this Marching song at daycare and walks around the house saying "March, March"
A Much more cooperative boy, but at least he didn't pull the sticker off constantly and I got an almost smile here....officially my picture taking boy is gone...I guess it has started...hopefully he will be more cooperative come family picture day which I need to call and schedule....
Looks like Sears portraits is running the best deal. So I got a cute little red dress for Alexandra and need idea...what should I put Matt in for the picture? do I do a red shirt for him or try to do White? Green? I guess this is where having 2 kids of the same gender is really to your advantage, you can dress them alike but the sizes are different.
As for size on Matthew...he is definitely getting taller and still not filling out that much...we tried some 18 month size pants on and again, still too big on the waist and he pulls them off...so he is still basically wearing his 12 month size pants which are totally Capri looking/high water...but he is eating quite a bit these days so I am keeping my fingers crossed he fills out some so we can finally get him into his 18 month pants...before they are too high-water as well....shirts....the 18 months size are fitting but some of those are getting small to get over his head...and his PJs are actually 24 month size...we just got these really cute Elmo fleece PJs and he loving them! We did go ahead and get some 2T sized stuff b/c it looks like in PJs which seem to run tight and small are about to be too small....crazy huh, 12 month pants, 18 month shirts, 24 month PJs.
As for Queenie...she is doing great, loves the quiet time when Matthew is at daycare and Alexandra is taking a nap and she gets her Mommy Time! Plus loving the sleeping in bed with Mommy while Daddy is in the other room...but the barking at Daddy in the middle of the night and waking mommy up is killing me.
