Happy Halloween!

Here are some pictures of the girls celebrating Halloween. Lilly was a black cat and Vivi was supposed to be a white mouse but spent most of the time swaddled. Happy Halloween!

Hanging Out At Home

Since we all got home from the hospital we have been doing a lot of hanging around the house together. It has been pretty rainy and Vivian is too little to take out of the house too much.

Vivian eats and sleeps the day away.

Cuddle time!

Lilly even shares her blankie with Vivian.. for a few seconds and then takes it away.

First Family Walk

We took our first family walk the day after we got home from the hospital. It was rainy but still nice to get out of the house. Here are the girls heading out for a little walk.

Vivian's First Bath At Home

Vivian had her first bath at home. Lillian was a good helper! 

The little helper was VERY interested and confused as to why the baby was having her bath on the counter and not in the tub!

Vivian was less than thrilled with the whole situation!

Finally done and wrapped up!

Trying to eat the towel.

Decorating Pumpkins

Lilly attacking her pumpkin. It was also a plus that she got to decorate Vivi's pumpkin too!

Vivian sleeping through it all. She has two modes these days: eat and sleep!

Hanging Out Before Decorating Pumpkins

While we were setting up to decorate pumpkins the girls were hanging out in their Halloween outfits.

After many attempts an picture of Lilly sitting down AND smiling!

It Dance Time!

Here are some pictures of Lilly dancing at her dance class. She LOVES to dance! Every day she frequently announces that "It Dance Time!"

At dance class she made sure to pick through the ribbons while the teacher was handing them out and found the purple ones and held on tight to them saying "Lilly wants purple!" She is one of the youngest girls in class but she knows how to get what she wants and she LOVES purple almost as much as dancing. Next week Vivian will be able to watch her dance!

Rainy Day Activities

Before baby Vivian arrived and now that she is here Lilly has been enjoying some rainy day activities. This particular day she like wearing marker caps on her fingers. Now she has a little sister to entertain and help with to keep her busy!

Comparing Newborn Pictures

Meeting Baby Vivian

Here are some pictures of Lillian meeting her baby sister for the first time. She was beyond excited to meet her and have a baby sister! She is doing really well with the baby and loves her very much. She was really happy to have "baby my house, mama!"

Meeting her sister for the first time. Saying "Baby!" really loud.

Giving the baby a kiss.

Holding Vivian for  the first time.

Snuggling with Mama.

Reading her big sister book, she likes to read it every day now!

And the main attraction, little baby sister Vivian.

Welcome Baby Vivian!

Welcome to the world precious little Vivian Eloise Lawrence born 10-20-10 at 4:45am. She weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces and is 20 and 3/4 inches long. She is darling and sweet. We are so happy to finally meet our second sweet little baby girl!

Now that we have two children we find ourselves taking less pictures but she is beautiful and lovely all the same! Here are a few of our darling little sweet Vivian.
