Olivia pics and Sydney visits the firehouse

Can you believe how big Olivia is getting?! Figured I better post these pictures before she turns 5 months old...Every month we have to get together with Kenzy who is just one day older--they are so cute in their matching shirts!

Olivia tested out the highchair and wasn't quire sure what to make out of it. Next month we are starting rice cereal!

Sydney visited a firehouse with some of her friends and loved checking out the ambulance and fire trucks--she was ready to climb in and get to work! We'll look forward to doing this again as she gets older but Sydney is so curious about everything and still talks about the fire truck (and likes to wear her fire hat!)

Olivia 3 months

Since this was technically Olivia's photo shoot we had to get lots of pictures of adorable Olivia and she did an excellent job of smiling for the camera. Hope that she always stays this photogenic since I LOVE taking pictures of the kids as well. But they never compare to these professional pictures that we've had taken of the girls. She's growing up so fast (too fast if you ask me) and continues to delight us with her coos, smiles and easy going personality. One of my favorite things is the way she lights up whenever Sydney is near her and watches everything Sydney does. It is just too cute! Our next photo session isn't until 7 months and i know i can't wait for those! Enjoy these pictures!!!

Once again, many MANY thanks to Tonya Teran for her AMAZING pictures. Check out her website for some of her other work (although i am biased and think her pictures of Sydney and Olivia are the best!!!). http://www.tonyateranphotography.com

sisters

Gotta love these two little trouble makers. Just look at their faces--they know they can get away with anything : ) Big sister Sydney certainly was having a good time with these pictures and loves her little sister so much. These pictures are priceless.

Sydney photos Feb 2011

Sydney was being "2" during our photo session and I honestly did not think that any of the picture would come out. So I was pleasantly surprised to see these wonderful pictures of the smiling, happy Sydney...enjoy!

Here she is being cool and cute : )

Family photos (Feb 2011)

Once again we would like to thank TONYA for taking such amazing photos of the girls. Here are a few family pictures we wanted to share of the 4 Martins (plus Floppy the dog--the honorary 5th member)

Little Maestros

Every week we enjoy our gym, art and music classes at Kidville. Took a few new pictures at Little Maestros with Nanny and Papa. We enjoyed a special visit with them and enjoyed singing and dancing at class. Thanks for making Jason's birthday week celebration special!

37th Birthday for Jason

Happy Birthday to Jason! The celebrations for Jason's birthday continued all week long since he was away for the actual day...and I had fun trying to capture the girls on video singing to him while he was gone. Enjoy these cute videos!

Purim Carnival at school

Sydney is learning so much at preschool and has enjoyed talking about Purim. She loves being with her friends and had fun during the school Purim Carnival.

And couldn't resist posting this picture of Sydney with her raspberry "booties" on each of her fingers while in her princess costume...at least she eats her fruit and looks super cute playing with her food!

Is it spring yet?!

Isn't Sydney adorable when she is sleeping?! Some days she does actually nap--although lately she mostly plays with her animals. We have to do a "roll call" to ensure that all stuffed animals are in the bed with her--good thing she is in a full size bed so everyone can fit! Couldn't resist posting this picture:

Olivia has started using the exersaucer and likes it a lot! She went to the Doctor yesterday for her 4 month checkup and is doing remarkably well. She is 11pounds 12 ounces and 24 inches. Way to go Olivia!

The other night we went to a family game time fundraiser at Sydney's preschool (yes-the 5th Martin "Floppy the dog" joined us) and Sydney had fun playing Bingo, Zingo and hanging out with her friends! Jason and I were excited to win one of the raffle prizes--a basket full of gift certificates to some great area restaurants. YEAH!!! (I'll take any excuse not to cook/clean!)

Olivia is 4 months old already!

Happy 4 months to Olivia! She goes to the Doctor next week for her check up but we aren't as concerned about her since she appears to be growing and gaining weight just fine. No trips to Great Beginnings just to weigh her!! And Sydney continues to help out and take great care of her sister. Here she is snapping a picture with her fake Belle cell phone--wonder where she got that from??!! OH--and her new song that we have to sing every night in addition to Twinkle, Twinkle....Safety Dance. Boy, she sure is a Daddy's girl!!

Sydney loves to dress up like her sister and one of my favorite things is when they look at each other. The girls love their matching Minnie PJ's.

This past weekend we went to Disney Live with our friends...thought this was a cute picture of the girls with Erica, Matt & Braden.
