"Baababaabaabaa!"

Caroline said her first word tonight! She was in a pretty good mood after eating her peas and rice cereal and was very talkative. All of sudden she said "Baba!" (we always refer to her bottle as "baba"). She kept saying it over and over again. Does that count? I think so! We tried to capture it on video:

The girlies just being cute in their pj's

Additional Pictures from Mother's Day

Just a few from Uncle Jay's camera...

Mommy & her baby girls

I love this one. Liv and her Great-Grandpa.

Growin like weeds

How do you know when your child has outgrown an article of clothing?...

.....when their big toe busts out of it.

I thought those pj's were getting a little tight on Livi. :)

Happy Belated Mother's Day!

I had a great first Mother's Day. It started with my husband making me breakfast and then we loaded up the girls and headed out to Grandma & Grandpa Krupa's house to have lunch. It was a beautiful day so the girls were able to get some fresh air, they LOVE being outside.

And last weekend we went to visit Rob's grandmother for a Mother's Day Brunch. It was the first time the girls got to meet their Great-Grandmother!

And pictures from yesterday...

Mommy and Liners

All the girls
Aunt Kari, Cousins Katie & James, Mommy, Daddy and the twinks.

Rob and I taking a cruise in Grandpa Bede's restored '57 Corvette!

We thought we were pretty cool.
The girls wanted a turn too!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mommies out there!

Mom, Now that I'm a Mother

Until I became a Mother,
I did not understand,
The profound sense of love,
In a Mother's heart and hands.

As I whisper, "Mommy loves you",
I rock my precious child to sleep.
Small perfection in my arms,
Sweet breaths, slow and deep.

I now see me as a baby,
You're rocking me to sleep.
You whisper, "Mommy loves you,
My heart is yours to keep."

At last I recognize your love,
As a Mother I now see.
As I hold and love my child,
You feel that love for me.

I will always be your baby,
Despite the years that pass.
You have given me my life,
And a Mother's heart to last.

The greatest thanks I can offer,
More than words can ever say.
Is to give my child the love,
You gave me everyday.

Hangin out at home

Just a couple pics and videos from yesterday and today of us hanging out at home.

The girls are really trying to hold their own bottles now...

Lovely Liv

Cute Caroline

Me making Caroline laugh

And here's Liv - always so content playing by herself

Livi's sound effects

Lately Liv has been making lots of noises and here I tried to capture her latest...they never want to perform on demand!
