A Day in the Sun

What a fun day! I got to start my day with a trip to the salon- wahoo! Funny a couple months ago I probably would have been dreading getting my hair done and spending 3 hours of my day sitting in a chair. Now it's heaven! My sweet sister came up to watch the girls so I could get a little TLC before our Mexico trip (3 more weeks-Yay). I came home to a sleeping 19 month old and a quiet little 4 month old ready to see her momma. It was nice to get a few minutes in a quiet house! When Ella woke up I knew we would have a busy afternoon - it was too beautiful not to.

I just love watching Ella play. She is very animated and a little dramatic sometimes, but oh so cute. She just walks around singing and doing her usual babble with a few words I can comprehend in between. She loves the trampoline and the new play set, so I'm thinking we might as well put her crib out back because this girl would live out there if we let her. Poor Olivia, on the other hand, doesn't work very well with the outdoors. She has the absolute WORST allergies! Her pediatrician already has her on a daily allergy medicine and has prescribed a steroid cream for her skin. Most days her skin is a blotchy red and white color that she itches until it bleeds - literally. I am constantly fighting her to keep her hands from scratching- it's the saddest thing I've ever seen. I wish all the time that it was me battling this - not my sweet little baby. Her eyes are watery and red and her nose is constantly running. She is such a trooper though. She gives it her best, even though I know she's miserable, and keeps a smile on her face nearly all the time. She is such an amazing baby, so sweet, so quiet, and so stinking cute. She just melts my heart!

She wasn't quit sure of the water at first
But loved it shortly after
Then she decided she wanted to jump on the trampoline - she's a great jumper!
She's in heaven! This girls loves to swing.
Yes, she was posing!
Snack time.

Poor Olivia! She is battling some allergies right now. You can see it in her eyes!
