As my maternity leave comes to a close, I've been squeezing in as much fun as possible before heading back to work. "Fun" is, of course, a relative term in the context of a toddler and a newborn...
Nailing this whole stay at home mom thing...
Girls at play...
I've been going on a lot of walks with Harper... at the very least this gives me an excuse to wear yoga pants every.day. Right?
2 months old and I'm already embarrassing her...
Moms that walk together... talk together
Introducing Harper to Stanford!
Family Hike at the Stanford Dish - Killer Workout
I'va also been trying to stay active by going to some Baby Bootcamps at the local park. It's basically a stroller gang.
Baby Bootcamp!
And don't think Harper's been a slouch either! I've been putting her to work too...
Tummy Time!
I see you!
Hailey's gotten a taste of the cycling bug... Can't wait to get this girl peddling on a 2-wheeler!
One happy but exhausted family!
Joe's been an amazing dad, not surprising. Watching him with the girls is pretty wonderful.
No, you can't eat Dad!
It's called Teamwork...
Baking with Dad
Playdates are basically the best thing ever as a mom at home! Lisa made it over with Riley and Aiden, such cuties!
Givens' and Shans Sibling Playdate!

Speaking of siblings.. Hailey and Harper are quite the force to be reckoned with!
Adorable sibling photo turned Pinterest Fail.

Rainy days are no problem here, we just pitch tents for all-day fort time. My Brownie skills really came in handy.
Living Room Fort!
But a typical morning generally looks a little more like this...
Breakfast
Then I dress up Harper in whatever silly accessory I can reach
Just checking to see if she still hates giant headbands... affirmative.
Thankfully she doesn't seem to mind the tiny hair clips... yet
Despite our best efforts to stay healthy, Hailey ended up getting an ear infection. Fortunately she was a champ at the doctor's office and she perked up real quick after she got a Happy Meal on our way home!
Hailey's been going through a phase where she's obsessed with Dandelions... or as she calls them.. microphones. She can't walk anywhere outside without finding the biggest one around to pick!
Talk into my MICROPHONE!
My birthday was pretty awesome this year. We decided to keep it low key and have friends come over to our house for pizza and cake... but I guess the term "low-key" doesn't really apply to our friend-base any more. We managed to wrangle the kids onto the couch for a group shot... crazy to think this is just some of the gang since not everyone was able to make it!

Kids' Table
Speaking of birthdays... The Wilder boy twins turned ONE and had a pretty epic party...
Happy Birthday Weston & Everett!
Harper managed to sleep through the night for about a week, but then decided she just missed me too much so we are back to being late-night milk buddies. I can't complain too much when this is the 2am face I get to stare at...
Smiles McGee
And now, me and my miniest-me!
Can't get enough of my girls!!!
Also, let's be clear that Harper will be raised a Giants fan.

Across the street neighbor and friend SLASH sister wife Kendall just had baby girl Rylan 8 weeks after Harper. We've been having a BLAST with the girls!

Lunchtime at Stacks - We packed that booth!

We've been visiting the Redwood City Library a lot because hey, it's free and my child LOVES it.
"Working" at the Library

Ta-DA!
I'm always looking for ways to keep Hailey busy while I do actual chores so I gave her a bowl and some ingredients and let her go to town.
Gruel!
Successfully cooking with both girls!
And here's some hair pictures because I never ever ever want to forget how awesome these are...
Look at that volume!!!
The Swirl
Harper's Hat Hair
Yeah, Harper's hair has a mind of its own. Wonder where she gets it from...
