Easter pictures

Here are some of the Easter pictures I got taken of the girls. We got two of them together (one in the outfits my mom gave them for Easter and one in their Easter dresses). Molly didn't want to smile for those pictures....she was still getting over being sick! Then I have my favorite one of the girls alone too!

How tall will Molly be???

Today was Molly's 4 month doctor appointment (even though she is 4 1/2 months old now!) Here is how it breaks down....
Molly 4 1/2 months
Weight - 17 lbs. 3 oz. - 90%
Height - 26 1/4 inches - 97%
Head - 41.5 cm - 50%
Kelly at exactly 4 months old
Weight - 16 lbs. even
Height - 25 1/4 inches
Head - 40.5 cm

The doctor said everything looked good.......except we need to work with her on pushing on us or the exersaucer or a jump-a-roo (which we don't have)...since that is a developmental milestone that she isn't doing as of right now. We tried her in the exersaucer tonight.....but she doesn't fit her feet on the bottom, like the doctor wanted. We will just have to keep working with her. Other than her blocked tear duct in her right eye (which I have to take her to an eye specialist tomorrow morning)....all is well. She is a healthy little girl. Her lungs sounded great.....so she is over her first cold!!! :)

Papa's helpers!

Yesterday, I watched my sister Lori's kids for the day (as they were on spring break from school). Kelly had a lot of fun with Isabella (7 yrs.) and Brice (4 yrs.). We spent A LOT of time outside....riding bikes, sidewalk chalk, kicking the ball, bubbles, swingset, taking walks, etc. The three of them even found a baby bunny in our backyard! Molly was good, and enjoyed the weather too! When we weren't enjoying the beautiful weather....Papa put the grandkids to work on our house re-model project!

Kelly mastered it....she has AMAZING hand/eye coordination!

Tradition!

When I was a little girl, I always remember my Grandma Piersch having flower pot dirt dessert on Easter. This year, I am passing on the tradition to Kelly....hoping that someday she carries it on too!
Kelly adding gummy worms to the dirt dessert.
The finished products....they will all have flowers in them tomorrow! :)

Easter Egg Hunt # 2 (Dyersville Park)

This afternoon we went to our second easter egg hunt (in one day!) This one was at the Dyersville Commercial Club park. We met up with Kelly's best friend Sophia....the two of them had a great time picking up eggs! Kelly sat on the Easter Bunny's lap again....and even got her picture taken by the local paper. She might be a celebrity this Wednesday....when the new addition of the paper comes out!

Best friends.....Sophia & Kelly
