Jordyn's first real bath

I gave Jordyn her first real bath tonight. Before she has only had sponge baths. Camryn was very excited to help me. She did a great job! Jordyn was upset at first. But soon after I put her in the water she stopped crying. :) She just seemed to be enjoying the nice warm water.

One month old!!

Jordyn is one month old today. It is so exciting watching her grow. She still seems like a tiny thing but she is getting better at holding her head up and she has given us little smirks. I took the girls to get their picture taken last Thursday. Let's just say it didn't go as well as I expected. On Wed I got a coupon in the mail from The Picture People for a free 8x10. I thought that was a great opportunity to get a picture of the girls. I was worried Jordyn would have her eyes closed the whole time but I wanted a picture of her before her baby acne got worse. Luckily, she had her eyes open but Camryn was horrile. All she could talk about was getting her picture taken but when we got there she refuse to go near the camera. She had several crying fits and it took us about 40 mins before she calmed down and would give us a smile. We got one smile out of her. I was frustrated but atleast I got 2 good pictures. One of Camryn and Jordyn and one of just Jordyn. It will probably be quite a while before I try that again.

Our painting project

A week ago my MIL had bought a unfinished rocking chair for Camryn. It is very cute. The perfect size. I decided to paint it the same colors as their room. I thought it would look better and be a fun project for Camryn and me. I had some paint left over from when I painted their names. I decided to make it mainly brown but add a little pink too. I let Camryn paint parts of it at the beginning. I knew it would need several layers so I knew I would be painting over what she was painting. It only took 2 days and I think it looks great. On day 2 I couldn't let Camryn help me anymore so I bought her an unfinished piece she could paint. It was the word princess.

The new addition

I was looking at Jaime's blog and saw a picture of curtains that Cori and Brandi made. I thought those would be perfect for the girls' room. I had bought a matching window vance but it was too short for the window and I've always wanted curtains so it's not bright in the morning. I asked my mom to make them for me. We went and bought the same sheets that Cori had bought and then my mom and sister sewed them when I was in the hospital having Jordyn. They even cut up the window vance so it would match the room. I am so happy with them. They are exactly what I wanted. Thanks to mom, Kim, Cori, Brandi and Jaime. :)

First foot prints

When I had my baby shower for Camryn, I got a first foot and hand print holder. I really like it so when I was buying stuff for Jordyn, I really wanted to get one. I couldn't find one like Camryn's, but I found a similar one. I think it worked out because they are both Winnie the Pooh but they look different. That way I know who's are who's. :) I decided to do Jordyn's today. I think it went well. The foot is easy. The hand is a bit tougher, but I am happy with how it looks. The first picture is of Camryn's and the second is of Jordyn.

Happy Easter!

Yesterday was Easter. It was a very fun day. My mom, Kim, Erin and Pedro came up for the day. After they got here we visited for a little bit then I wanted to hide Camryn's Easter eggs. Kim took Camryn outside to blow bubbles. My mom, Pedro and I hid the eggs in the livingroom and her bedroom. We gave her a big basket to collect her eggs in. We hid 43 eggs. They were filled with jelly beans, chocolate eggs, fruit snacks, stickers and money. She did very well finding the eggs. She had a blast. That is all she wanted to do all day. My poor mother had to rehid and find the eggs all day.

After Camryn found and opened the inital eggs, Kim gave her an Easter basket from her and Pedro. It had Crayola Color Wonder coloring pads and the markers, some gummi savers, and 2 stuffed bunnies. One is pink and one is purple and Kim told Camryn to choose which one is for her and which one is for Jordyn. Camryn kept the purple for herself and gave Jordyn the pink one. Camryn laid the bunny next to Jordyn when she was sleeping in her bouncer. The whole day, Camryn made sure Jordyn had her bunny next to her. It was so cute. Levi and I had given Camryn her Easter gift last week. She got a golf set. It has 3 balls, a putter, a driver and a iron. Later in the day, I took the girls to Walmart and Camryn grabbed her bunny and Jordyn's to come with us. I can't wait until next Easter. I'll have 2 kids to hid eggs for. :)

Easter egg hunt

Today Levi, Camryn, Jordyn and I went to an Easter egg hunt at a nearby park. It was cold but luckily didn't rain. As we drove close we noticed how many people were there. There was a ton of people. We had to park at a middle school down the street. The hunt was seperated by age group. The kids were only allowed to pick 8 eggs. We took her to the 2 and under area. The eggs were just thrown on the ground so it was super easy to find them. Camryn got her 8(actually 9)in about a minute. Then we went to a bench to open them. Some eggs had a ticket inside. If you found a ticket then you won a prize. No tickets for Camryn. Just candy. Which is fine with her. :) It was a lot of fun. Tomorrow I am going to hide eggs in our house for Camryn. It will be more fun if she has to look for them.

PS. I finally fixed the date on my camera. Yay! Now my pictures show the correct date.
