Oh my how we have changed Part 2

O
Right now O just turning three last month is a big girl.  She has been in big girl underwear again for about a month and only wearing diapers at night.  She has had very few accidents since I have been home.  She is starting to become a storyteller and often cracks me up.  Last night she told me this story about teeth :"Once when teeth fall out or I am able to take them out they twist all up and turn blue and then the fish are eaten and the teeth bite down and go away and then they come back to twist again and fall out and then you get money!" (Not sure what this was in relation to but Nemo was playing in the background which may have been why a fish fell into that story.)  She loves to play tag and swim in her pool; although yesterday she was in her pool and came out pouting that she was too big for that baby pool and that we needed a new pool (In her defense when she lays on her back with her arms and legs stretched out she touches on both ends).  Probably time for an upgrade.  She is obsessed with anything fish or the ocean.  She loves to go to Underwater World and look at all of the fish, she runs through looking and squealing every time we go there as if we have never been even though we are members and go about once a week.  We are going to start renovating her room to look more like it is for her since we moved upstairs and she of course wants it to be fish but also wants it to be yellow like stella's room.  She is also my little helper lately and I have even started to give her chores to do once in awhile.  She loves to be with mommy all the time and wants to do everything like her.  She started to want to put makeup on and will now even let me put her hair up since it is very long because she knows that I do it.  She is still very tall for her age and has often been asked if she is five or more.  She and I are on a mission to find the perfect pet for our household because as she will tell you we need a new Harley because the old one ran away.  She is getting better at letters and still wants to read all of the time. She forces us all to watch Nemo about twice a week even though she sits there and says the whole movie from heart.  My favorite new thing that she likes to do is to dance, she all of a sudden will just bust a move and then laugh.  She keeps me on my toes.  

Oh my how we have changed

Stella
Stella continues to be a very talkative and also a very loud screaming child.  She loves to scream at any chance she can get and uses it when something is not going her way.  She is very much a person who knows what she wants already in life and expects that she is to get it immediately (reminds me of her birth).  She says very funny things, such as about a month ago she started saying Hime (which of course is short for Hi Mommy)  She also says ball, daddy, fishy, up, down,(she often gets these confused).  She is very funny and you will definitely know when she wants something.  If for instance Tim is tickling her on the floor and he gets up she will walk over to him grab his hand go back to the spot on the floor and lay down so that he can tickle her again.  She does this often with anything that she likes.  She is still a pig and eats everything in site, seriously this is how I know she is my child.  Last week I asked if she would share her Oreo with me and she literally pressed her finger against the cookie getting the absolute smallest crumb and then said ahh to me wiped it on my tongue while proceeding to say mmmm as if I had actually tasted anything.  She loves being outside and it is also one of her favorite words.  We got her a red wagon for her birthday and she will just sit in it for hours even if you are not pulling her.  We are liking being home together and have been doing a lot of fun things.  She loves to go to the Humane Society just so that she can say "Hi kitty" to each and every one of the cats over and over again.  Finally two days ago she decided that she was no longer deathly afraid of the swings anymore and went on them  by saying WHEE.  Previously she would have a panic attack and high levels of anxiety.  She loves Grandma and Grandpa on both sides of the family and usually calls all four of them Grandpa.  She still has a little trouble going down the steps because like most she gets excited at the top step which freaks me out and then I end up turning her around.  She wants to be just like O and anything and everything she has and does Stella wants to do.  She currently is working on her 7th and 8th tooth both fangs on the left side of her mouth, which makes her a little more crabby than normal.  Her other favorite thing right now is babies, she absolutely loves babies both real and fake.  She loves to just watch Regan and Weston and know what they are doing at all times.  She loves to carry her baby around and feed it and make sure that it is hugged a lot(usually followed by throwing it across the room to grab another toy).  She is also my little helper and knows how to get on my sweet side by just stopping what she is doing and coming in for a snuggle.  I can't believe how big she is getting and how much she has been changing every day.
