Toddler-dome


Cheeky little under-things






Spinning.......


Shush is staying at her own risk


So many things happen during the day that I want to write down, and never forget. But life happens, and with my not-so-new mommy brain, its gone in a matter of moments...So when I sit down to write, I get excited when I can remember a few things. Recently a few of those things are the quiet chatter of the girls when they wake up. I love to hear the chatter because they sound so happy and well rested. Ryanne talks about her parents, animals, pup pup and wanting to go downstairs to play. She sings to herself sometimes too. Often I wait and put my ear next to the monitor just to hear that little voice. Finley will make adorable squeaky noises until we come up to get her when she greets us with a huge gummy smile. The other day Ryanne was in the back seat counting...once she got up to 18 or so, asked her what she was counting, and she said "cars that are going past"...uh, of course.
Another question I asked her recently was if she wanted a boy or girl cousin? She said both....but since JOHN AND LEE ARE HAVING A BABY, I told her she had to choose....so she said Girl, then Boy!!! We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to have another babe in the family. (yes I got the go-ahead on spreading the news).. Here are some photos from our picnic in our tini-tiny front yard. Finley is sitting up very well...We have started to introduce lots of varieties of foods. She pretty much is exactly opposite than Ryanne in the food department..she eats almost anything. She can grab cheerios and eat them herself, she loves rice (even rice from a chipotle burrito), scrambled eggs, kiwi and lots of other fruits. I have introduced a small sippy cup that she is starting to get the hang of. I did that kind of early but because she doesn't take a bottle consistently (and probably never will) I thought I'd get her used to a cup early. Eating is quite entertaining for her (she obviously IS my daughter) and she has actually given Ryanne some new ideas about trying new foods. Finley also is learning new things like splashing in the tub and tapping toys at our request..and we are pretty sure she knows her name. She is starting to work hard on crawling and pulling herself around and up on things...its wild and nerve racking all at once. Recently for Ryanne she has been interested in her wardrobe and her hair....starting early you ask? She see's her mom put her hair up and now she wants to try it too. She wanted pig tails for school today...and does that dress come in my size?
