It's been a busy week here in Lapinskas Land. Mia had her four month appointment at the doctor. She is happily 13 lbs, and 4 oz. She has grown 2 1/2 inches to a total 24 1/2 inches. However, the doctor also found that Mia had an ear infection. So...we came home, picked up the amoxicillin and started to administer it. Last night, Mia broke out in hives. Now we have two little girls with a slight penicillin allergy. Yay!

Olivia had Mema and Pop-pop come to preschool and teach the kids about Lithuania, and even taught them how to count to ten in Lithuanian. Everyone loved them and we heard rave reviews from the teachers. Also, Olivia had her first Valentine's Day party at school. She came home with quite a bit of V-day loot and has consistently wanted candy everyday since.

Mommy got to have a girls night with Brandi on Friday. We saw "He's just not that into you." The movie wasn't terrible, but not really memorable either. Then, on Saturday morning, I got my hair done and now I have multi-colored hair. Check out the pictures below.

It's a little bright.MIA!Little Bear in playtime.Little Bear sleeping when mommy is trying to burp her."Look, Ma! I DID brush my teeth!"Olivia making faces...Beware of the wildlife here at Lapinskas Land.

Friends, family, countrymen. Lend me your eyes...

So...this week, what did we do? Mommy has become completely addicted to Facebook. If you have an account, look me up. I love more friends! Tony and I shopped for cars, just a little bit. Tony worked on Jory's car (again). Olivia has signed Mema up to come to preschool to read a book in Lithuanian for Olivia's class. Olivia also was riding her big girl bike all by herself, with training wheels, of course. Mia celebrated her 4 month birthday on the third and had her first cereal today. We also bought a big scratching post for the crazed felines so that they will not scratch up our new furniture that has not been delivered yet. Erica came over yesterday and spent the day with us. Apparently, we still think alike as we both showed up on Saturday with red long sleeved tees, blue jeans, and red socks (her's were patterned, mine solid). Olivia had a blast with Erica coloring and playing memory. Olivia didn't quite understand that Erica was there to visit Mommy, not just Olivia. Oh, and before I forget, we are planning a big party on May 30th (I believe) for Olivia's 5th birthday. All will be invited, and we expect you to save the date. On to the pics of the week.....

First things first, I don't normally show food on this, but I was so proud of the cross-hatched grill marks and my awesome porkchops that I had to show this off...Olivia in her best west side gang/J Lo sweatsuit...Olivia channeling her grandma from the '80's doing her Jane Fonda workout....It finally got nice out and Olivia went out on the bike....this picture was taken inside the garage.Here she is getting stuck in the snow a couple houses down.Here's little miss safety in her helmet and sunglasses chillin' on the bike.Little Bear in hibernation.In the high chair eating her hands instead of cereal.Slide to the left...Getting ready for cereal....mmmm yummm....Yay!
