Five Months for Miss Viv

 Is it possible?  After 9 months of utter hell getting this sweet face here, she has totally made it all worth it!?  Okay, Okay, don't get the wrong idea, we are not going to do this again, but seriously, I didn't think it was possible to have such an amazing baby.  

Good sleeper, yup

Constantly smiling, yup

loves eating, yup

complete beauty, absolutely

healthy, uh-huh

Viv is now 5 months old

She has been rolling over for a few weeks now, but her biggest "trick" if figuring out her hands at this point.  She loves to grab and grab and grab, faces, throats, arm hair...you name it, she grabs it.  It's getting to that fun time where if you try to eat with her on your lap you wont get much food in your mouth.  She is too busy grabbing your plate, napkin, fork, spoon, table cloth, cup.

We love watching her grow and especially love that she smiles at us as soon as her eyes open every morning.  This happy girl makes us so happy!

We love you sweet Viv!

Mother's Day was a beautiful 80 degree day in Boston and there was no other way to spend it than by being outside.  I started my day off with a run around the neighborhood with my new GPS watch (Happy Mother's Day to me!) while the boys made some yummy breakfast sandwiches.  We got ready and got on the T and headed to Fenway Park which was open for free on Mother's Day to families, and we were able to walk around the field, go into the dug out, and other cool things.  It was neat to see the park from such a different and unique angle.  

 Once we finished our fun at Fenway, we got back on the train and headed to the Public Gardens in Downtown Boston for a picnic and playing.  The gardens are beautiful this time of year with the green grass, freshly planted flowers, the pond with the swan boats and all the ducks and swans swimming around.  It really was the PERFECT way to spend Mother's Day.

 How did I get so lucky to be a mom to two of the most adorable souls I've ever met?!?
