Here's another picture of Julia. I think she's beautiful.

I hope noone thinks this is inappropriate. Sorry if you do. We were so excited for Natalie to get princess panties. We've started potty training and finally feel like she's ready to wear them. She's pretty excited about it too, as you can see.

Look at that little belly! This was taken on Valentine's day. She has gotten so big already. This is a onesie that reads "Tax deduction" 'cause she came just in time. Her daddy had been hoping all along for her to come before the new year. And I have to say I wasn't complaining about getting her early either. Especially since daddy was off work the next 4 days after she was born. And she's so cute.

Grandma came over to take care of the girls for Valentine's Day. It was so sweet. Marc and I got to go see a movie. She brought Natalie a book about being a big sister, some things to stick on the window, and a kid's meal. She had so much fun. Grandma said Julia was so happy and fun the whole time she was there.

As you can see, Natalie got into my makeup the other day. She used my eyeliner to draw on her eyes. Luckily she couldn't open anything else. She started bringing me things to open and that's when I discovered what she was up to.

Julia's first real smile!

Marc and I had a contest to see who could get Julia to smile first. As you can see Marc won. We couldn't get her to smile long enough to take the picture, but we were pretty excited for her to smile. Now you see what I mean about those big eyes. That's what everyone says about her. "She has such big eyes." That and she looks just like her daddy.

Marc

Marc graduated on December 15, as most of you know. He has started an internship with a company called Hussman, a refridgeration company. We hope he will be hired with them soon. The company is in Bridgeton, about 30 min. from us, but he's been carpooling, so it's actually less driving then he was doing when he was in school. He seems so much happier these days and is able to help me out more around the house. It's so nice to have him home every night! Eccept for the ocassional hockey game, he has season tickets to the Blues with his mom. He loves it and it gives him a chance to have a break and get out. This is a picture of Marc and his brother Kevin. They went to a Blues game recently where they were giving out free food and drinks. They stuffed their pockets full of sodas on their way out and when they got home they were so proud of themselves.

Me

I have recovered nicely and I'm doing great. I've been given the go to exercise for 2 weeks now. I've actually been staying on a regular exercise schedule. I switch off between and buns of steel video and a stomach and thighs video. Other than that I've just been trying to keep the house organized and spend time with the kids. It's so nice right now not to have to worry about models. I called them and they said it was a slow time right now and they would call me when they need my help. It will definately pick up in the summer, but for now it's good. I feel like I am adjusting well to two kids. I guess we'll see if that changes when we start going places. I can't wait to start going out more as the baby gets older and the weather gets nicer, but it has been nice not to have many responsibilities outside the home.

Natalie

Natalie is getting along great with Julia. Sometimes she loves her a little too much. She wants to be kissing and squeezing her a lot and we have to remind her that she's delicate. She is doing great otherwise as well. I think she is so smart, but hey I am her mother after all. She knows all her basic colors now, but she won't always say them on demand. If I ask her she repeats the question. But if she wants something she says "Red pants, please". She talks so much lately and she's so polite. We were visiting her aunt, Terica, and she kept calling her Ms. Terica all day. She has also been a good little helper around the house. I ask her to throw things away or put things away and she does it. I love having a little friend to hang out with during the day that I can talk to who talks back. She also loves anything to do with princesses lately. She knows all the names of the Disney princesses. She got a dress up set for her birthday and I put in a few dresses from when I was little. It seems like she is constantly wearing her dress ups. Sometimes I even let her wear them out of the house.

About Julia

Well, we've had our little Julia for 6 weeks now. She is such a joy to have with us. She is a pretty good baby, but every once in a while she gets a tummy ache and has a hard time with it, which makes me so sad. She loves to be held and cuddled. I think if she had her way she would be held all the time. But mommy has to get other things done so she can't all the time. Although, I don't know if I could ever get sick of holding her. We haven't gotten her to smile yet, but we keep trying. When she was born she weighed 6lbs 4oz, but she went to the doctor at 5 weeks and weighed 9lbs 9oz. The doctor was so shocked that a breast fed baby gained that much weight.
