Some Family Fun

Sicily liked pureed black means for like 5 seconds the other day.

 Ella and Delainey wanted me to take pictures of their eyes. Eye color is a big deal in our family.

 Sicily has discovered the fun that exists in a kitchen cupboard.

 Sicily was reeeeeeally constipated a couple weeks ago. It was awful, and she was so uncomfortable. This is how she fell asleep most times during that duration of time.

 We attended the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for a new Highway Building in a town nearby (Mathieu insures the town, so they invited us to go). We got to take a tour of the building afterwards. The big girls were excited to sit in the big "twactow" (tracer, Delainey-style).

Ella's Last Day of Pre-K

Ella had an awesome school year. I was so hesitant to send her to pre-k because her birthday is later in the year, but she did really well. She has grown so much and loves learning. Her teachers were fantastic, and she made really good friends. It's bitter sweet switching to a new school district when we move!

Memorial Day parade, cute family, and allergies

Ella and Delainey love feeding Sicily a bottle. Sometimes I hold the bottle with my chin if I need to do something with my hands while feeding Sicily. Ella does it, too now, which is so cute.

Sicily is eating more foods than she has in the past, but refuses baby food. My friend told me to put it in her bottle and mix it with the coconut milk. I'm happy to report that is worked like a charm!

This is happening quite often as we try new foods:

Darn hives! At this point Sicily has had reactions to kiwi (which was in a baby food medley with bananas and pears), dairy, soy, goat's milk, pecans/peanuts/pistachios (she found one of the 3 of these on the floor in the kitchen and had a reaction. We couldn't tell which one it was!), and eggs. What CAN she eat? I don't even know anymore. She sometimes eats avocado. She likes oyster crackers, graham crackers, and Ritz crackers. And anything else she can find on the floor.

Delainey loves to have her pictures taken these days. She's quite the poser.

I love him.

Our town does 1 parade a year, and it's on Memorial Day. It's a fun tradition to go and clap, and cheer on Mathieu's step-grandpa who still marches the entire parade uphill at 86 (and he does 20 pushups every morning...). Ella's little friend Leland from school came with his family and they sat with us. Ella always says she wants to marry him.

Delainey is starting to like getting her hair done. She'll sometimes ask, "Mommy, can you do cute girls haiw styles?". This is one we found on their website.

I LOOOOVE this picture of Delainey.

And little Miss Sis can have her hair done now, too!

The girls' 2 new favorite songs are:
