So fun! xoxo

The girls being silly during the post-baptism party...
For some reason it was funny to wear winter hats while serving the guests food from their play kitchen. (It was late & WAY past their bed time!)
She's officially a Catholic!
Maeve did such a great job. She was quiet during mass & fell asleep (below) moments before her baptism.
We woke her with water on her head, but surprisingly she didn't cry! She smiled away at Fr. Dave, it was so cute. Marin & Margaux loved watching up close...they were so excited.
Godmothers Katie & Lindsay
Family photo... turns out great when we bribe them with cake!
Maeve & her great-grandparents.
Such a happy baby & what a great day.

Oh, this tiny little thing, I could just kiss her all day long. I feel like the time is just passing so fast... the two month mark has passed & now we'll approach 3 months old already. We love her to pieces.

She had her 2 month check w/ shots yesterday. (She's 10 weeks now, we're a little off schedule.) She weighs 11 lbs 6 oz. & is 24 inches long! Her weight was just below 50% but her height is 90%!!! Where on earth does that come from?! I can tell she's gotten really long just by looking at her. Still so small, yet growing like a weed. She's becoming more vocal & loves to "talk" to us while kicking her legs like crazy. It's fun to see her get so excited. She's running a little temp. today from the shots so we've been giving her lots of love.. hoping to shake it before the baptism this weekend. xoxo
These girls are sooooo silly. Here is Margaux in the baby pack-n-play. Their new thing (with friends) is to play house & make Margaux be the baby. Notice the small baby bottle in her hands as well! She just does whatever they say...it's too funny! As long as they are all playing nicely, I don't complain :)
M & M in their new matching pj's. I NEVER buy them anything matching, so this was fun for them. Gary says they look like clowns!
Marin & her little friend Olivia...sunbathing together one last time before school starts next week. I think they're ready. Marin has been asking every day if it's time to go back to school yet.
Margaux napping in our bed the other day. The girls have been taking turns napping in our room. I don't let them nap in the same room, it never works. Marin usually napped in our bed every day, Margaux in their room. But the other day she insisted that it was her turn to sleep in mommy's bed. Thankfully they've been doing well alternating every other day. She's too cute though, I love how cozy & warm they get when sleeping. Wish I could crawl in & snuggle with them...
And Miss Maeve... smiling all the time now. She's getting so big & fun to interact with.
Baptism this weekend... I'm hoping for nice weather so we can relax & entertain outside on the deck. Pictures to come...

Here are a few pictures from our weekend in Lakewood. Maeve's first time up north! The weather was supposed to be crummy but actually ended up SOOOO nice. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Maeve slept pretty much the entire time...
Amy painting/stamping the girls toe nails...
Maeve stretching out on the floor...
Splashing at the beach...
Gary and the girls...
Grandpa, Grandma & their grandgirls...
Family shot. We took about 12!
We were celebrating my dad's birthday while up there. Here they all are with his "Happy Birthday Grandpa" cake. Delish...
Such a fun time. I look forward to going more next summer when Maeve is a bit bigger. I'm sure that time will be here before we know it! xoxo
Maeve having some tummy time...
She was two months old yesterday!

This is how we protect little babies from mosquitoes! They are everywhere as soon as 8:00pm hits & it's such a bummer. Why can't they just go away? I hate to sit in the house while the girls are still outside with Gary, so we just wrap her up! And she loves to be outside so it works. (As long as it's not too hot. This week has been WONDERFUL!!)
Me and my girls. They're always so silly...
The big girls continue to LOVE the new neighborhood & all their new best friends. They hop from house to house each day having so much fun. The big thing now is playing dress up. This is what Margaux had on the other day. Too cute not to photograph...
And a few more pics of Maeve. Her face is getting pretty chubby! We thought for weeks that she looked more like Margaux, but now that she's adding the chub she's starting to look more like Marin did when she was tiny. It's so fun. She's starting to talk a lot. Baby noises are so cute. I hear Marin & Marg constantly asking her (insert baby talk voices) "Are you talking... oh are you talking to me?" They obviously hear mom & dad saying that. Little parrots.
Big cheeks & crazy hair go well on her!

Wow, I am so behind with the blogging. (Thanks GGram for reminding me!) Definitely not overwhelmed, just busy enjoying summer with the girls. I'm actually thinking about slowing down with the sbcreatively blog since I've been so busy with photography jobs, which is great! I really enjoy doing it. We'll see how I feel in the next few weeks.
Until then, here is Maeve in the tub with her pink fish Luve...
It definitely makes tub time more enjoyable for her & not as cold. She seems to like bath time except for when her big sisters come in and start wanting to help. Water in the face is not fun for Maeve! 
Below is her favorite place in the house (aside from in my arms!) She loves to lay @ her changing station & look at all the black & white pics on the wall. I swear she could sit there forever & is instantly soothed when we lay her there. She must enjoy looking at pics of herself!!!

First shots with Band-aid on her leg...
Having tummy time with her sisters...
They love playing with her & I LOVE the sound of their little baby talk voices. It's so great...
Hope you all had a good weekend. I need to get snapping. I'm def. not taking enough pictures. Maeve is getting way too big too fast. She'll be 8 weeks on Wednesday. xoxo
A quick shot from weeks ago that I never posted...
This is our three M's with all of the Anguil/Reyes crew when they came up to visit. (with a few Anguils & one Reyes missing!) We had such a fun time with all of them. The kids had a BLAST playing together at our house & at Bay Beach. I think we'll be seeing them in Green Bay again sometime. The kids LOVED it here! And our girls were sooooo happy to see them.
