Happy New Year!

2011 is off to a great start for our family! We are busy watching Piper get bigger each day and now she is smiling and trying to talk to us. Those coos are my favorite sound to hear each day. The girls love to see if they can get her to smile at them. She loves them both! But I will say my heart melts each time I change her diaper in the family room and she looks over at a picture of Lily that just happens to be at her eye level right now - she will totally smile and coo at her picture. It is so amazing that she already knows and recognizes her big sisters.

We had a great New Years Eve with our friends at their annual bash - the girls rang in the new year dancing and playing until after 1 am. The highlight would have to be watching Jason and a few other dads dancing to "It's Raining Men" on the Wii dance game - we laughed so hard. But I think my man got the highest score for his dancing - I was so proud. Piper was there with us, but she crashed and slept through most of the fun. And only in Texas can you spend the first weekend of the New Year swimming!!




This week Piper turns 2 months! The time has gone so fast. She is still trying to master the pacifier, but is too lazy to keep it in all by herself. She prefers for me to rock her and hold it in for her. I have to admit she is quite spoiled!! She is not a fan of being put down - she wants to be held and carried around. Tonight I figured out that putting her in the baby bjorn is the best way to get dinner on the table. She was so happy hanging out with me as I prepared dinner for the girls. Piper already knows she is the baby of the family and plans to take full advantage of the attention. :)
