O and L

Both girls this week continue to crack me up.  O wants to be my little helper she loves bringing me and Tim towels when we get out of the shower.  I am hoping that this is not a look into her future.  She also cracks me up when she finds my bra laying on the floor and tells me look mom I found your boobies.  Or that I have lost my boobies because I took my bra off.  L got her two top teeth today they are not fully in but they are working on it.  We learned how to give high five today and love to clap for ourselves when we do something good.  We spent last night at Grandma Susan and Grandpa Johns so today we were very tired.  Especially O since she refuses to take her new lightening Mcqueen slippers off and slips all over the place and into things:(

Olivia: Too smart for words

Loves to eat on the deck

Olivia is 2 but has to be one of the smartest two year olds you would ever encounter.  She currently loves to play with cars, and trucks, and trains.  Really anything that she can drive on her mat that looks like roads and tracks.  She is very sweet to Stella.  She has timeout almost everyday because she is very stubborn and does not listen.  But still she just walks right to where she is supposed to sit for timeout and sits there until you say she is done.  What kid does that?  She loves pizza and chicken nuggets but also loves yogurt.  This week she is addicted to yogurt and grapes and usually the food changes every week.  If I buy either one of those things next week she probably won't eat either one of them.  She is starting to become a big helper and likes to help me do things.  She continually talks to me from the moment that she gets up until bedtime.  The potty training is going slowly but surely but I need to push the underwear more.  The problem with that is that she goes through the five pair she has so quickly that I don't know what to do unless I just force her to stay in them.  We have been staying home a lot more now that I have gone back to work and O has been home with dad which I think she loves.  Things she does that amaze me:  yesterday I told her I didn't think we had any juice boxes and then I found one in the closet and she said this exactly "See you found one mommy good job can I have it please"  She also will throw out things like way cool or holy moly.  She asks me questions all the time and can actually pick out any cars that look like mine or Tims.  She is not ready for fall and I am realizing that I will need to sign her up for swimming lessons which she was getting pretty good at thanks to auntie Kee because she asks me everyday if it is warm enough to go swimming.  My sister got a little dog which she thinks is a toy and terrorizes and also loves to terrorize Harley on a daily basis.  Overall she is a goofball that sometimes can drive me nuts but also is so amazing I can't help but squeeze her. 

Stella's New Show

My first meal July 26th, 2010

Starting Tuesday September 7th Stella started to crawl.  At first it was just a little bit and she had been doing the army crawl for about a month now and was getting good at it.  I remember O being this age and just doing the butt up in the air rocking back and forth thing.  But now only ten days after that initial crawling she is going all over the place.  I put her down in the living room this morning to then go into the bathroom and finish getting ready when all of a sudden Stella was at my feet.  She was so proud of herself.  She has the sweetest smile and loves to cuddle.  She says dada and nana and also last week decided that she was going to clap and clap and clap especially when she does something funny.  Yesterday we worked on SO BIG and she is now a pro.  Today Tim texted me a picture of her standing up in her crib when she was holding onto the railing.  She is only 7 1/2 months old I feel like she is not my little baby anymore.  At dinner tonight I could see a little part of a top tooth.  It will be her third one but has not gotten any teeth in over three months.  Eating all kinds of baby food and loves squash and sweet potatoes with corn.  Stella also loves the wheels ( a cereal thing that she chews on)  and wishes she could eat the same people food we do.  She is my snuggler and loves the mirror more than anything.
