Nic's Birthday Weekend

 

Janny and Aunt Char came to Austin to celebrate Nic's birthday. We had a fun time at Guero's Taco Bar as evidenced by this picture. Nico couldn't wait to dig in, Char is excited about her margarita, Liv decided she didn't want to be left out and wanted to eat, too, and Janny is camera-ready!

 After lunch, we strolled down South Congress and got snow cones.

 

Livi loved her Aunt Char and was sad to see her go.

First Mother's Day as a Mother of Two

 Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide to forever have your heart go walking around outside your body. 

-- Elizabeth Stone

 

I had a wonderful first Mother's Day as a mother of two! Wow ... so hard to believe that I have two beautiful babies. I am so lucky!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Nico got a fish aquarium for his room! Here he is picking out fish at the pet store.

Feeding time!

Proud owner of five fish! 

(Unfortunately, we have already had a casualty.)

Happy One Month Sweet Liv!

Hard to believe that it has already been a month! We are all so in love with our Livi and have easily adjusted to being a family of four.

 Liv is thriving and has grown so much. Sweet girl is quickly putting on the fat rolls. 

 She's a great sleeper and is a happy baby except when those dreaded gas pains strike.

Love these little feet. Second toe is longer than the first ... just like her daddy!

 Sleeping Beauty

 Liv got to attend her first wedding at only 10 days old. Nic's college roommate Caton married Stephanie at Callie Kate horse ranch in Buda. Nic was Caton's best man and did a great job with his speech.

Liv's first bath ... she wasn't a fan of the water.

 Liv being examined by Dr. Rawal her at two-week appointment. Liv weighed 6 pounds, 13 ounces. Dr. Rawal said our non-premie premie is perfect and she and doesn't need to see Liv again until her two month appointment.

Janny & the Easter Bunny Visit

Janny stayed with us for a few days to help after Liv was born. We all enjoyed her visit and her lasagne!

 The Easter Bunny came!

 Our attempt at a family picture ... Liv is only four days old, so no judging! This cracks me up because we are a mess! I'm trying to hide my fat post-pregnancy self behind Nic, and Nic says he looks like a bum. Nico is tired of taking pictures and just wants to eat his Easter candy.
