Two Months

Lucy turned two months old on the 20th, and she is getting so big! I took her to her two month check up yesterday and she has gained a lot of weight. She is now 10lbs 14oz, two pounds bigger than last month, and three pounds bigger than her birth weight. She is 23 1/4 inches long now which puts her at the 82nd percentile for height and the 51st percentile for weight.

She is so great and such a good baby. She sleeps about 6-8 hours straight at night which is priceless. We are so happy to have her in our family!

My Cute Girls

Here are some pictures I have taken recently of Cloe and Lucy:

This is her usual expession. Haha, she is so funny!

But sometimes, I can get her to smile. She is so sweet!

Her hair is so curly! I am totally surprised! It only looks this curly when it's wet, but I hope that her hair stays this curly.

Sometimes, they looks so much alike. I love how Cloe and Lucy both look like they are just putting up with me.

Brr... It's Cold Outside!

It's that time of year again! The time when we all question why on Earth we live here. Fortunately, it's not as cold this year as it was last year. It's around -35 or so, but it got down to -40 yesterday, and it's even colder at night. Here are couple of the telltale signs of winter at the Overacker house...

Everyone gets bundled up in Winter clothes. Unfortunately, there are only so many layers one can don before you can't put your arms down at your sides. Example: Cloe.

Britney Spears at -40.

I'm not sure if the Ake's remember this, but when we went up to Logan to visit them when we were still dating ('05, I think) someone had given Kiana a Britney Spears Barbie doll (red leather outfit and all). Kiana was only 1 1/2. Callie was just going to throw it away, but let Ben have it so he could take her apart (he wanted to see how the knees worked.) We stuck the head on the antennae of my Jeep, and she has been there ever since. As you can see, she has seen better days.

Christmas

Sorry I haven't posted any new pictures lately... been so busy trying to figure out how to take care of two kids at the same time...

We had a fun Christmas. Cloe understood what it was much better than she did last year. She had a fun time opening presents, but got bored after a little while and just wanted to play with the presents that she had already opened. We spent Christmas day with our cousins the Werners. It was fun to just hang out in our pajamas all day. It was a good day and we managed to away with only two flesh-wounds... I kid you not. Both Ben and Cloe injured themselves Christmas day. We took our dogs over to the Werners so that we could hook the sled up to them and they could pull everyone through the streets (the streets always have snow/ice in the winter.) Cloe fell off onto her face. Her lip was really swollen and she scraped it pretty badly, but it's nearly better now. I don't blame Cloe for getting hurt, she's just a kid, but Ben on the other hand, should have known better than to keep a switch-blade in his pocket... He was putting the dogs back outside after we got back from the Werners and leaned over and stabbed himself with the knife. Luckily, it's pretty cold outside and he was wearing several layers and only just punctured his stomach, what a weenie...

All in all it was a pretty good day. I will keep posting more pictures of Lucy too, I promise.

Our Lucy; or as I call her Lucy Goosey and Cloe calls her Oopsie Poopsie (I have no idea where she came up with that one.)

Cloe was so excited about all of the candy canes Santa brought her (she calls them candy cans)

She is making a funny face, but her lip is pretty swollen

We couldn't figure out how to keep an ice pack on her face, so we gave her a frozen go-gurt. It worked pretty well.

Here are the Wild Woolly Werners (as Ben calls them). Ian, Finnigan, Lincoln and Alyssa. (Sorry Alyssa for the weird picture of you... I didn't mean to take you by surprise...)

Lucy's Blessing

Today was Lucy's blessing and she wore a dress that was made by my friend in our ward and I think it turned out so great! I also got to finally plaster (with flour and water) a bow into my daughter's hair, I love it!

I am so grateful for the blessing Ben gave to her. It was beautiful and a wonderfully spiritual moment. I am so happy to be blessed with another little girl and am grateful to have her as part of our family.

Two Weeks Old

Lucy is two weeks old today and we're all adjusting really well. Here are some pictures of her I took today. She's still pretty shrimpy, but at least her eyes are open in these ones.

Due to popular demand, here are some more pictures of Lucy!!

Chilling on the couch watching t.v. together

Haha! She looks just like Ben! Everyone in my family is so grumpy!
