Ten on Tuesday

1. It was only a matter of time. As she was making her way onto the couch, Kelsea told me that her baby was very hungry and that she could only eat from her. Luckily Wallis had his blackberry handy so we could capture our little Mommy-in-training.
2. Yesterday we took Lorelei to an orthopedic surgeon for her hips. The pediatrician had heard clicking in one of her hips at her two week appointment, so she had an ultrasound done which showed borderline hip dysplasia, (which I had previously only heard of in German Shepards...thanks to my many years of service to animal rescue). But I digress, her pediatrician wanted a specialist to review the results and re-examine her hips. The orthopedic surgeon thinks her hips are probably fine, but wants us to put her in TRIPLE diapers for 6 weeks and then do another ultrasound. Holy moly it's not like we're not changing enough diapers already! Sigh...

3. We have a lovely new addition to our front "porch." This is now a lovely spot to watch Kelsea ride her bike, blow bubbles, and make a complete and utter mess with Moon Sand (this is not a product endorsement, unless you enjoy picking up tiny particles of colored sand all over the house).
4. Kelsea had the first orange from our tree last week. It was quite yummy according to Kelsea. Maybe I'll get to taste one of these.
5. Kelsea and Lorelei took their first bath together last week. Kelsea was quite the little helper, while Lorelei just hung out enjoying the warm water.
6. Wallis is gone again this week. Off to Colorado for the Space Symposium, which just happens to be hosted at the Broodmo0r (5 Star Hotel in Colorado Springs). Must be nice getting all that sleep (not that I'm jealous).

7. I'm in a TV watching predicament. Three of my favorite shows, American Idol, Life & Lost all come on at the same day/time and I can only DVR two of them! Which I don't understand by the way? Why is it only two?

8. I am now a proud member of Greenpeace. Actually, I really just felt sorry for the poor guy at Trader Joes that kept getting turned down. But hey, I'm all for saving the polar bears and leaving this earth a little better for our children.

9. Nothing like having a newborn to make time fly. I can't believe tomorrow is April! Happy Birthday Nana Lucky! We hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow!

10. Here's a couple to put a smile on your face. Happy 6 week little girl. Mama just loves your smile.

I have pictures of each of the girls "nursing" babies while I was nursing one of mine. Moon Sand = mess, which means it is an outdoor play thing around here. And why hasn't Wally called us if he is in town? Jeez, you would think we weren't friends or something. Great 10!

I laughed through this entire post.

Kelsea is hilarious! One day she will laugh so hard at that first picture. How adorable. Your girls are just precious!

Love that 1st smile on camera. Now if she could just teach Jimmy how to smile & sleep at night I would love her FOREVER!

oh and a friend's daughter had hip dysplasia and i think had a cast for several weeks so count yourselves lucky on the triple diapers - unless you end up needing to take out a second mortgage, that is!

I love the picture of Kelsea "nursing" her baby--too cute. And I can't believe Lorelei is old enough to smile already!

I loved your "ten"!!

I had the hip dysplasia myself and my poor mom had to do the triple diaper thing too...except the middle diaper was twisted in between my legs. Apparently that worked just fine!

Where oh where did you get that wonderful bench??

Great photos!
