Week 6

Happy, Smiling, Talking Evie.

Yes, I kiss this sweet face all day long.

The first of many sister pictures with almost matching outfits.

The Bergstrom Babes survived their first week without Dad around. It was priceless having Bret around for the first 6 weeks after Evie's birth. But, life goes on and I'm learning how to juggle a 2 year old and baby. Who wouldn't want to hang out with these two cuties.

Before Baby

Before the baby arrived Diem and I spent as much time as possible playing.

Outside of course

Diem practiced for her baby sister's arrival by taking care of her baby dolls.

And Diem got a new room!

It's our new favorite room in the house.

Week 5

We are into the second month of being a family of 4. The girls are adjusting well. Probably a little better than me and Bret, but we are coming along.

Evie and Diem wore the same outfit on their first day at church. Who's who?

Diem's 2

Diem turned 2 on May 25, it was a fun day. Lunch at the park with the Chipman cousins, Elliott and Jensen where even here. Followed by dinner, cake, and some bouncy house fun at the Bergstroms.

Diem is my little buddy. She is a sweetheart and gives the best hugs and kisses and tells me, "love you, see you soon." When she is excited to do something she says, "wahoo" or "yeah, ok." She is always asking, "uh oh what happened " (yes, I think of the movie a Mighty Wind almost every time), and "where (insert anyones name here) go." She likes to color, play outside, throw rocks and sticks in water, catch bugs and have them go "night night", play at the park, watch Sesame Street, and play with her cousins.

Happy Birthday Day Day, we love you!

Catch up

I have some serious catching up to do. Some things have changed, but most things are still the same. Diem still looks more like her dad and her uncle Tony than she looks like me and gets mistaken for being older than she is. She won't be 2 years old for a little bit longer, but she sure is growing up. She is starting to put two words together, "that's daddy's" "more cheese" "thank you mommy". She loves playing with her cousins and asks for Lane and Teagan all day long. She takes good care of her baby dolls and makes delicious food in her kitchen. She all of the sudden likes watching movies, this is both good and bad. Toy Story 3 is her favorite for the time being, she calls it big baby. Should I be worried her favorite character is the creepy big baby? At least I know what she will want to be for Halloween, it should be an easy costume to throw together. I have been horrible at taking pictures, but here are a few to get us caught up.

Fall 2010- Diem was a giraffe for halloween. I tried to get her to say "I have a long neck" when asked what a giraffe says. She never caught on, but loves the costume and still wears it around.

Oh how we miss jumping on the tramp at grandma and grandpas. We can't wait for Spring.
Christmas 2010- Diem was spoiled like every kid should be. She loves her baby stroller and is very possessive of it. Seriously it is a little scary, it is the one thing I can't get her to share with other kids.

It is always a good time in her play kitchen. And yes those are 5 pound weights in the fridge. Her playroom is also Bret's workout room, so in her mind food and workout equipment go together.

Winter 2011- Random pictures of us staying entertained indoors.

What a sweetie!

Only 11 more days until we find out if this cute girl will have a brother or sister.

It's going to be a long 11 days.
