2-Month Shots!

Brianna had her first set of shots on Tuesday. Seeing the girls get their shots is usually very hard for me but this time was extremely hard. Maddie had a meltdown because her "Sweetie" was getting shots. Totally sympathetic towards her baby sister's well-being. I had to explain to her why shots are necessary and after a while, she stopped caring what I had to say. When the nurse came in and put the syringes near Bree, the waterworks went into effect. She kept saying things like: "I don't want my baby to get shots", " I don't want Bree to feel pain because I love her", " Mom, don't you love Brianna?", and my all-time favorite and I'm not sure how this fit into the equation: " Mommy, she is my sweetie. Don't you understand! And you carried her in your tummy!" At the end of the visit, I had 2 screaming kids. So Madison walked away with candy and 8 princess stickers.

Brianna weighs 12 lbs. 10oz. 23 in. She is very healthy and grows strong everyday. She began holding up her head a few weeks ago and has become a drool machine. Her pediatrician said she is possibly teething. She loves when I rub her teething rings against her gums. She goos alot more and gives a ton of smiles !!! I love her smile and those cute dimples of hers. Every morning at 6:15, I tell her, " Good Morning, smiley face" and she starts talking and smiling. It's PRICELESS! There are times throughout the day when she's hanging out in her crib, bouncer or swing and when she sees me, she frowns and gives me the meanest look. But as soon as I walk away, I can hear her talking and making all sorts of noises. It's so funny. She also rolls over on her left side only. She is sleeping pretty well. I put her down between 8:00 and 9:00pm and she doesn't wake up until 6:15am. :0) I'm so thankful and very blessed to have such 2 precious daughters.

I went to visit my family a few weeks ago and took alot of cute pictures of the girls. Since I'm having technical difficulties with my camera, I'm unable to download them. But I'll post them as soon as I fix this darn thing.

Cute Pictures of the Lujan Girls

I've had some more time on my hands so I've been taking a lot of pictures of the girls. It's really hard to get pics of Brianna smiling because her usual happy hour is early in the morning when I can barely open my eyes. So I'm getting better at having my camera on hand but all her pictures are of her in her jammies. I love her 2 cute little dimples on her chubby cheeks. She has a dimple on her chin but since she is so chunky, you can barely see it.

Here's Maddie in her Hannah Montana night gown. For the last week, she has been really into Hannah Montana. She has never really watched Disney Channel but now she has 3 favorite shows: Hannah Montana (of course), Suite Life of Zack and Cody and some weird cartoon called Phinneas and Ferb. I can't begin to tell you how many times we've watched the Hannah movie so Jon made her a C.D. so that she doesn't have to watch the movie all the time just to hear the music. :0) I'll have to post a video of Madison rocking out. She is soooo cute!!!
Brianna hanging out on her boppy.
Bree doesn't always have calm and quite days.
These are moments I live for. The above picture is one of my favorite pictures of Maddie and Bree. When I can't get Brianna to chill out for a little bit, I put the boppy on Maddie and lie Brianna on her lap. As you can see, she is nice and calm and even gives big sister a smile. Maddie can sit there and chat her little heart out with her baby sister. Again, I live for these priceless moments.
She is definitely an out- doors kid like her sister. She's been to the park 3 times already and just sits in her stroller very relaxed.

This swing is our best friend when Bree is fussy. It doesn't always do the magic trick but I guess we can't always have our way. She sure can give a mean look.

Overall, we are doing good. Brianna is now "gooing" and making other noises that are really adorable. We are grateful that she is healthy and growing stronger everyday. She is also getting better at taking pictures. She usually cries once I snap a picture (she is so not like Madison). Jon said she is probably traumatized of the camera since he began snapping pictures as she was coming out into the world- not even a minute old. Ha,ha,ha! We are very blessed to have our beautiful precious girls in our lives.
