Fall Time Photos By Mom

It takes a lot for O to actually look at the camera but I got a few.  Also Stella loves being pushed by O in the red car.  It is her favorite thing to do and throws a fit when O wants a turn to be pushed.

Whats new with us

Stella is now pulling herself up on everything.  She constantly wants to stand up and even trys to take a few steps around things.  She is now as of last Sunday 10/2 the proud owner of four teeth.  She got her top two within a week of one another and she is starting to act like more might be coming in soon.  She says DaDa and BaBa and I swear that I heard her say grandpa today.  She is getting bigger every day.  She still is very bound and determined and knows what she wants.  On friday night we went to buffalo wild wings for dinner and when they set my plate in front of me with fries on it; it was barely on the table and she already had swiped a fry and eaten the whole thing.  She loves more texture to her food and wishes that she could just eat real people food instead of baby food. 
Olivia is getting better at going potty but is still one day at a time.  Her funny sayings right now are when she pees on the floor and then says "Olivia" basically shaming herself.  She also is still gaga about uncle Chris and was able to quickly see him yesterday and today.  When she is not around him she constantly tells me that we are going to his house or pretends to call him on the phone when we play.  I may be concerned if this continues.  She still loves cars and trains and loves to pretend to be a monkey in our backyard tree.  We went to the zoo last week and Olivia loved looking at all of the animals.  She loves it there so much that when we got into the car she said lets go and see the monkeys again.  We have been very busy because O and I go to class on Tuesday night.  Ooey, Gooey, Sticky, and Slimey.  Which is so fun to just have the time alone together plus O loves getting all dirty and making artwork.  On Wednesdays we have girls night while Tim is at school and go to Everyday Parenting class, that O calls playtime and it is great she gets to socialize with other kids and mommy gets a break to be with other adults.  Then we have dinner together.  Last Wednesday O said I want pancakes for dinner so that is what we had.  She continues to surprise me everyday, especially when she gets in the car and says God Damn mommy.  I tell her it is a bad word and that she will have timeout and so the next day she says I need time out "God Damn"  she is goofy that way where she actually knows when she needs a break from it all and just walks over to the timeout area and sits there for a couple minutes.  She makes this parenting thing way too easy. 
The girls both love staying home with dad but I also can see that Olivia misses having kids around all the time but she is adjusting nicely.
