Maggie has developed an imaginary friend over the past few weeks - Giant Elmo. It is super creepy - she will walk into a room, gasp and point to a random spot and say, "Giant Elmo is hiding!" Other times she'll tell us what Giant Elmo is doing, and refer to him as "scary." Jamie and I have been convinced our house is haunted! Jamie did a web search (because everything on the internet is right), and learned that it is very common for kids her age to create imaginary friends that are large versions of objects they already know. She will often say that Giant Elmo is scared or happy or some other emotion, which is supposedly her way of expressing her own emotions... We are trying not to give it much attention, but it's freaky sometimes!
Don't worry, I'll protect you from Giant Elmo
Early morning snuggles
Evie is getting more alert every day, and a little more fussy. She likes her pacifier, and sleeps best when we turn on the "running water" sound - we use the same YouTube video that calmed Maggie down. They must be sisters!
Amused
Pondering
Maybe angry?
Definitely angry
Here are the pictures taken of Evie in the hospital. She was definitely not in the mood, so we didn't get a lot of great ones, but there are a few keepers. If you want digital copies of any, just let me know!
We went to my parents' house to celebrate Mother's Day last Saturday. My poor mom cooked us all brunch - not very fair to her, but much appreciated! Maggie had a ball running around with Luke, and Evie had some snuggle time with her aunt and uncle.
Cousin Luke holding Evie for the first time... he was done after about 30 seconds!
Just taking a snooze during brucnh
Playing baseball for the first time
Claire is not happy about being left alone!
Oh the stains...
Check out my nephew's sweet haircut
Because the popsicle apparently wasn't enough of a treat...
The girls with their grandparents
My favorite ladies
Sunday I woke up with Maggie's cold - a lovely sore throat and runny nose. Not too bad, but not exactly what I wanted for Mother's Day! Jamie got me a fantastic gift - he knows I dread washing the windows each spring, and set up a crew to come to the house next week and clean them all! I was totally thrilled... yup, definitely a mom. I didn't make it to Jamie's house for dinner, so I'm lacking in pictures of the Donoghue side... I will get some soon!
Here's Maggie doing some aerobics:
Maggie often asks Daddy to "rock out" when driving in the car. This means turn down the windows, turn up the music and start dancing! She currently thinks Coldplay is a rock and roll band:
The Bishop Foley baseball team competed for the Catholic League Championship this morning, and got to play at Comerica Park! Jamie got the day off work, and took Maggie to check it out. The park was mostly empty, and she was able to roam all over the place - the poor thing was spent when she got home! Foley won the championship, 4-2!
