Hello!

Pudding Faces!

My snuggle bugs cuddling together.

All is good in the Lazaridis household. Johnny is understanding more and more everyday. He waves bye-bye now, shakes his head for no, and puts his finger up to his mouth and tries to say "ssh". All are too cute! Alexandra continues to expand her vocabulary trying to use words such as "unfortunately"! She is busy trying to keep her brother in line and away from her baby and toys.

I am headed to Chicago this weekend for Krissy's bachelorette party leaving the kids and Nick alone together to fend for themselves. I'm sure Nick's parents will make frequent visits over the weekend to check in!

Park and Bath time fun!

Chilling in his shades on the way to the park.

Sooooooo happy at the park!

Trying her skill on a balance beam at the park.

My bathtime cuties!


I have also finally uploaded an album of pictures in the usual spot from our trip to Wisconsin last month. I am counting down the days til we go home next month for Krissy's wedding. Still can't believe my littlest sister is getting married!

Johnny at Mealtime

The second child just does not want to be little. For a week now Johnny has started refusing food if I try to feed it to him. He only wants to feed himself. He wants his food on a plate like his sister and he has to have a fork or a spoon! This obviously results in very little food in his mouth and most of it in his lap, on his bib or all over his face. Here is a video from dinner tonight. As you will see he is a mess but is in heaven with his utensils!

I think I will be getting a camera for mother's day so I will soon be able to post pictures again. Yeah!

Wisconsin

The kids and I just returned home from a great 10 day visit in Wisconsin. We had so much fun hanging out with all of my familiy. While we were there we had Krissy's bridal shower and Audri was baptized. Unfortunately while we were there, and much to Nick's dismay, I lost our camera. This did not help my track record. Nick thinks I lose everything (sunglasses, cameras, watches) and although I disagree, valuable possessions do have a tendency to walk away from me. So right now all of the pictures I took are sitting on my parents' camera and you'll have to settle with a few videos I took while we were there.

The first is a video of Alex and J loving each other. If its possible they continue to get cuter and cuter together every time we are up there.

The next video is of Alexandra and Johnny running around and being silly upstairs in my parents' hallway.

One night while we were there Alex and I stayed over at Michelle's house. Jaelynn and Alex had their first sleepover together. Neither of them had ever shared a room with another kid at night. Michelle and I were so excited to listen to them giggle and talk. When we left the room and turned the monitor on it was pure silence. Neither of them made a peep! I guess they need another older cousin to show them how a sleepover really goes! This video is of them the night of their sleepover in their matching pjs and jumping on J's trampoline.

Hello!

Johnny likes to put our clothes on his head. Here he is with Alexandra's shorts....

.....my undies...

And my bra. He couldn't figure out how to get this to stay on his head though so he put it on his arms.

My sweetie pie and her lifeline - her blankie.

All is good in the Lazaridis household. Johnny is busy, busy, busy following his sister around and still getting into things he is not supposed to. Now that he is getting older they are starting to play together and it is so cute. Alexandra has started to ask me when Johnny is sleeping when he is going to wake up cause she wants to play with him. So cute! Alexandra is great as well. She has been fully potty trained for about 3 weeks now, yeah! When people told me that one day they just decide to do it they were right. She literally woke up one morning and that was it. She was only going on the potty.

On a personal note, I am receiving my radiation this Thursday and will be in solitude for 5 days. Although I am looking forward to sleeping in that many mornings in a row I think I am going to be very, very, very bored. I am used to being busy non-stop all day long between the two kids. My mom is coming down to help Nick with the kids. Hopefully, this will be the end of my treatment and I can put this in the past!

Dress-up, Dancing & More!

Poor Johnny - he is already being forced to play dress up!

Alexandra in her dancing shoes!

The day Johnny decided to start walking he also started kicking balls. Here is a video of him outside with a ball. I think we have another soccer player on our hands!

Johnny's 1st Haircut!

Our Jabbah got his first haircut (by his Baba). He no longer looks like a baby but more like a little boy, so handsome!
