Lucas: End of School
In all the chaos of having a new baby, I neglected to post about the end of Lucas's school year at Greenville Oaks. Even though we have decided to switch schools next year, I cannot say enough wonderful things about his experience there this year. His teacher, Miss Missy, was wonderful. Lucas LOVED her and still asks just about every day if he gets to go to school and see her. We love you, Missy!
The kids' end of the year program was a Sesame Street theme, and Lucas's class was the Rubber Duckies. I will try to post the (hilarious) video on here when I get a chance. Hardly any of the kids sang, a few squeaked their duckies, and Lucas's best buddy Ryder screamed the WHOLE time. Lucas just looked confused :) But, they were ADORABLE in their duck costumes, so it was all worth it, right?!?
My shy little ducky...
Performance close up.
The whole class. And, by the way, isn't the set awesome?!?
Maybe my favorite...Ryder screaming, Lucas leaning over to check on him, and Harper telling Lucas to FACE FRONT!
Since he has been out of school, Lucas has filled his days with lots of exciting activities, like...
Playing hockey and soccer outside with his new net. (And golf, and baseball, and swinging, and pretty much anything else that can be done outside).
Hanging out with his sister and Baby Ella.
Making cookies with Mimi!
And eating cookie dough!
Generally being an awesome big brother to Shea. (My new favorite pic, by the way!)

Shea is One Month Old!
How did that go by so fast?!? I surely don't remember 30 middle of the night feedings! Anyway...you may remember the month-by-month animal photos that we did for Lucas. I loved those (and the resulting photo book) so much that I wanted to do the same for Shea. We got her two animals of her very own and took the first shots this morning:
She is a little slouchy, but here is the best look at the camera shot:
For comparison, here is Lucas:
Her face is definitely a little fuller, but they actually look pretty similar when she isn't scrunched up :) Their one month growth stats were virtually identical. Shea weights in at 8 lbs. 11 oz. Lucas was 8 lbs 10.5oz...so, the same). Shea is about 21.5 inches tall. Lucas was 21 inches. This puts her at a healthy 40th percentile all around. Dr. Moulton says she is doing great, and commented once again on how "healthy" her lungs sound. (In other words, LOUD). We are working on moving her over full time to formula, due to my health complications this time around. She seems to be reacting better to the "gentle" formula for now, so we are hoping that she can stay on that once we fully transition.
Here are some more shots from the last couple of weeks at the Hlavaty house...
Super Big Brother Lucas has been AWESOME with his new little sister!
Mom keeps making Shea wear theseannoying fabulous hair bows...

And, just for fun...we caught almost the same shot of both kids staring down their animals at their one month photo shoots :)

Shea - Two Week Update
So, I have been a bad blogger as we attempt to adjust to life as a family of four. I hope you will forgive me :)
Last Thursday, we headed to Shea's two week appointment, where all the news was, of course, good! She is completely over her slight case of jaundice (yay!). She also grew a whole pound and a whole inch during her first two weeks of life. She was 7 lbs, 3 oz when we left the hospital; Thursday she was 8 lbs, 2 oz. Whoa! No wonder she has been eating so much! She is also now 20 3/4 inches tall. Go girl! We are starting to get her on an eating/ sleeping schedule, so that is nice. My trip to the ER forced us unexpectedly into bottle feeding, which we are sticking with. I am pumping a few times a day so she gets some breast milk, but it is nice to share the two middle of the night feedings between Phil and myself so we both get a little sleep.
Lucas is really warming up to his little sister. He always wants to know where she is and what she is doing. He is (mostly) trying hard to be a good helper and loves to give her kisses! Here are our newest shots of Shea. The two at the bottom were taken in a dress of mine that my mom gave me. It was a good thing we took them when we did...the dress is almost too small already!
In other family news, Phil heads back to work tomorrow. Wish me luck all on my own! I had the privilege of singing for one last MCA graduation on Friday. It was special to see one of my last classes of 7th graders walk across the stage as young adults. The headmaster/ principal that hired me 8 years ago is heading to a new job in Georgia, so it was also a joy to be there for his farewell. Two Chicks Pix also got to photograph the graduates (at the VERY last minute), so that was a fun (and stressful; right, Becky?!?) challenge for us.
All in all, the Hlavatys are doing pretty well. We will keep you up to date with pics and such as the summer goes on!

Baby Jolie-Hlavaty
I had a sonogram this morning to check on Baby Girl's size before we officially schedule our induction. All is looking great, and we are on for May 9th, one week from tomorrow. The doctor took some 4-D shots for me, and here was the one we were all laughing at...
Check out those lips! Looks like we are having a little Angelina Jolie! Also loving those HUGE cheeks. I'm thinking she looks NOTHING like Lucas. I guess we will find out in about a week!

Dads and Donuts
Here my two sweet boys on their way to dads and donuts at GOCP on Thursday. Lucas was SOOOO excited to take his Daddy to school; he talked about it all week. Phil is usually long gone before Lucas gets up in the morning, so it was a special treat to get to spend some extra time with him. Aren't they handsome?!?
