We had a busy, but fun, time this weekend. Headed to Dogtoberfest, and a friend's wedding reception (where Addi staged her biggest melt-down ever because she didn't want to leave) on Saturday. Then brunch with the family and the pumpkin patch on Sunday.

Larissa's getting bigger and bigger, weighing in at over 10 lbs. at only 6 weeks! She's also tall enough to fit into 3-6 month clothes already, totally different than her sister was. One of her favorite things to watch is the ceiling fan. She coos at it and smiles - it's pretty funny!

Addi's a force to be reckoned with. We're currently reworking on manners, nap-time and sleeping in her own bed. The new three and a half year old attitude includes melt-downs whenever she's told no and talking back. Fun times. On the other hand, she is a great artist, very interested in learning her letters and numbers (she's been able to write her own name for quite a while now) and very much loves her sister. All-in-all, she's a good kid :)

It's been a fun couple of days here. Larissa is one month old today, and she rolled from her tummy onto her back over the weekend - all by herself! Addi learned to whistle today, and has been creating artistic masterpieces for everyone around, when she's not busy marrying a prince, that is. Brendon will be 34 on Wednesday! And I've lost 25 of the 35 lbs. of pregnancy weight - this last 10 may be a bit harder though ;)
