the BIG sister....

Mimi and Papa brought Bella Eeyore and a couple of books to add to her collection. Then the real spoiling began. While we were in the hospital they took Bella to Cornbelly's and she had a blast! She got to ride a pony, bounce on all the fun blow up toys and go down huge slides. She also got to go to the mall a couple of times and ride the carousel and the train. She got a new build a bear which she named Na Na 2. She had such a good time with Mimi and Papa. I'm so glad she got to have some one on one time with them. Thanks Mom and Dad for helping us out! She was also spoiled with gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Lewis. She is one loved little girl!

Going on a date with Daddy. This day her took her to McDonald's for lunch and to the movie Alpha and Omega. She thought it was so fun to go on a date with her daddy. She was so excited! And she had so much fun!
Both girls looking extra cute! We had to take Lyla to the Dr. this day.
Just more fun with Daddy! Dress up!


Bella has adjusted to life with Lyla pretty well. She loves her so much! She'll wake up in the mornings and come over and give her big kisses and say "I love you Angel baby" or "I love you pretty baby" she's always saying "you're so yummy". These are all things she has heard me say to Lyla so it's pretty sweet to hear her repeat them! She does act out a little more. Which is to be expected since most of my time is spent with Lyla since she is always on the boob. (I forget how much newborns love the boob. Hungry or not that is her favorite place to be! I kinda love it!) Anyway, I think it was our second day home and Bella said "I don't want a baby sister anymore." It was pretty funny. She hasn't said anything like that since. I think she realizes that like it or not baby sister is here to stay! She really does love her, she smothers poor little Lyla like crazy. As you can tell from the above pics Bella is never to far away from her.

Eric has been home this past week and it has been so nice. It's been awesome to have his help with Bella and Lyla all day. I don't know what I'm going to do next week when it's just me and my two girls all day everyday. I guess I'll adjust. Bella has loved having her daddy home. They go for walks and to the park and run errands together. It's been pretty awesome! She has been spoiled like crazy this past week. It all started when my parents came. Then having Eric home. Oh well, we're just trying to make this adjustment period as easy on her as possible.

We love you sweet Bella and you are such a great big sister as we knew you would be!

Those are such cute pictures!! Lyla is so little and adorable!! It's so sad that they grow up too fast..We did the same thing and spoiled Addy at first, it does help so they don't feel so left out. Good luck next week! You'll adjust quickly!

Adorable girls! Glad that they're spoiled with lots of love! Call me if there's anything you need this week! Those 1st few days home alone can be tough. They were for me anyway. I hope that you're feeling well too!
