Ripping off the band-aid

Les and I have been debating over the last month, the best way to move Zoe into her big girl bed. We moved her into her big girl room in Jan with her crib and big girl bed. She slept in the toddler bed a few times but ended up back in the crib.

We touted the exciting new big girl bed, quietly tried to just put her in it and even talked about freedom... no avail.

So, last weekend, we decided to rip off the band-aid and just remove it while she at the store with Les. We actually didn't even say anything, and neither has she. She moved into it beautifully and we are not looking back!

Growing Zoë

Well, our little girl is growing and growing up much faster than we would like. Every day she seems to develop new ideas and ways to get us to do what she wants.

Like I really put up a fight :)

Maggie 2 month update

Maggie had her 2 month doctors appointment and she passes with flying colors.

Length 24 1/4 inches (95th percentile)
Weight 11 lb 11 oz (75th percentile)

She is eating constantly and doing very well. Her docotr is impressed with her alertness and how much she interacts with everything around her.

Her are some of the latest vids and pics (sorry for the lack of posting, these guys take up a lot of time!)

Got off my butt.

Ok, I know it has been a while, but I did update the webiste with Maggie pics and Zoe pics. Let me know if you have any issues.

Feelin' better

We are all home and fine finally. We'll, I've felt fine for a bit, but finding time for the blog has been a challenge. We are back on the visitor track! Feel free to give us a call to set up a visit with the fam.

Here are some recent pics:

Home sweet, home

Well, we are finally home and all the girls are sleeping. I thought that I would add a few pictures to the blog and let everyone know that we are all doing fine. A little tired, but good. Maggie only dropped 4 oz in the first 2 days and Les was much more mobile than expected, so they let us go home a day early.

If you are looking to come by to see/meet the new wee one, give us a call or drop us an email. I think we may be home for a bit.

Swedish has wireless!!!

Hello from the not-so-comfy confines of Ballard Swedish.

As you may have heard, there has been a new edition to the St. Alonzo household. Margaret Jean Alonzo came in at 1:08 PM and weighing in at 7lb 2oz and 18.5". She is a little more vociferous than Zoë was the first day, and she has already fed 5 times.

Well, that is all you are getting for now, cause I know that you didn't come here to hear me blather. On with the pics:


Recouping together, some better than others.


















Meeting big sister, big sister takes a little while to warm up.



















Ready for my close-up, Mr. Deville.
