Big Girl Bed

My mom and dad gave us their bunk beds for Keira and eventually Elaina. Keira is so excited to have a bed. She hasn't slept in it yet because I hadn't made it up last night when it was time for bed. So I made it up this morning and she was playing and playing in it. Can't you tell she is excited? She loved her brand new comforter with all of the cute lady bugs and butterflies. Hopefully the transition will be a good one because I am freaking out over loosing control at night. Anyone have any good tips for the transition?

Baby Blessing Day

Today was Elaina's blessing day. Rick gave her a really nice blessing even though he was so nervous. It is so great to see how much he has grown in the gospel since I met him. I am really lucky to have him. :) Keira loved having her grandparents, great grandma and cousins at Sacrament meeting. Thanks to all who came. We had a great dinner with Rick and my parents. It was a really nice day.

Monkeys Have to Eat Too!

Rick is going to kill me for posting this picture. He wasn't even that thrilled that I took it. I had to though. I was laughing so hard. Keira made him wrap up George and then feed him just like we do with Elaina. Burp cloth and all. She loves to feed all of her dolls and stuffed animals then she wipes off their mouths with the burp cloth . It is so cute. Monkey see, monkey do. ;)

Fun in the Sun

We went to Rick's company BBQ on Saturday and of course didn't bring our camera. However, thanks to MySpace, someone at Rick's work did take some pictures of our cute kids so I downloaded them. Keira had so much fun on the big toy they had there (too bad we didn't get any pictures of that). They also had a chicken that they were waiting to poop on someone's square to win a prize. I guess kind of like Cow Pie Bingo only a chicken is smaller and easier to control? As you can see, Elaina was thrilled to be there as well. She pretty much ate and slept the whole time. Which is pretty much all she does anywhere these days. We are taking advantage of it while it lasts.

Pierce Photography Studio Now Open!

Ok, so no one is begging me to start my own studio after seeing these pics, but when you have such cute models who cares? Can you tell that Elaina is getting BIG?! Last week at her two week appointment she weighed 9 lbs and was 22 1/2 inches long. I can't believe that she is already three weeks old. I also can't believe that Keira is driving me so crazy. lol. Does anyone know any tips for 2 year olds that do everything they aren't allowed to do and nothing that they are? Some days I seriously just want to lock her in a padded room and leave her in there for about a year. Good times had by all. It is just one of those days.

Who Doesn't Love George?

One of Keira's favorite characters is Curious George. She loves the books and the tv show and her stuffed animal. This morning I laid Elaina next to George and she was trying to reach for him to chew on. Pretty good for a baby who isn't even two weeks old yet.
