Miss Independent

Abbie has decided she doesn't want anyone to feed her anymore. This is a hard stage for this momma to go through because she makes an awful mess! I know I have to let her and I do, but that doesn't mean my skin isn't crawling watching the messes she makes!


There's nothing better than.....

2 little girls fresh from the tub and ready for bed!

Easter Sunday Fun

Somehow I didn't get a picture of all of their easter gifts together, but here are a few pictures of some of the things the easter bunny left around town for my two beautiful girls!




Easter Eggs!

Abbie wasn't quite ready to settle down to join us in our easter egg dying this year, but next year hopefully she will!

Cupcakes, Lunch and Dancing

There are kids that stay after school on Tuesday and Thursday with me until 4:30. Every once in a while I like to bake them a special treat for taking the time to work on their homework with me! Liv loved helping make the cupcakes for them with me!





Abbie also learned a new trick today.....eating with a fork! She is at the point where she refuses to let anyone feed her so I have to let her do it herself as messy as it might be sometimes. Her sister helps her out too!



After lunch Liv put on some music and she danced the afternoon away...it was the sweetest thing!

Pretending It's Summer...

There might still be snow on the ground, but my girls are ready for some warm weather!!!! I needed to see who I needed to shop for this summer for swimsuits, and it looks like both girls are all set!

12 Months

I have come across so many blogs that list however many things about their kids at however old they are, so I thought I would do that too. There are so many times Matt and I look at each other and can't remember at what age Olivia did whatever it was she did. I wish I had written more down for her, and already a year has gone by for Abbie, but it's never too late to start!

Here are 12 things I know about Abbie:

1) You are starting to just have your acid reflux medicine at night..we will see how that goes!
2)You transitioned to full milk wonderfully!
3)You only have one bottle a day, and it's not even to put you asleep, just to get you to wind down a little at bed time.
4)You LOVE the book Brown Bear and when you want someone to read you a book, you bring them the book and sit right on their lap!
5)You still call me DaDa even though you know how to say Momma and I know you know that's who I am!
6)You love to splash your sister in the tub, and you love to stand up in the tub.
7)You love going outside.....but lately it has been too cold for that.
8)You are in love with Super Why and Elmo!
9)You love to give kisses when we ask for a kiss.
10)You enjoy pinching/biting your sister, and you are so lucky she is so good and patient with you!
11)You no longer will let anyone feed you with a spoon...you want to do it yourself! 12)You are getting much easier to take anywhere........I am actually taking you to dance tonight with Liv because I think you just might be able to behave for long enough!!!!


We love you Abbie!

Thankful

Today is one of those days when I stop and appreciate how lucky I am to stay at home the majority of the week with my girls. I would be missing out on so much if I wasn't able to.....here is a look at the fun we had outside today. This is going to be a fun spring/summer/life with my two girls!

I love these days...

I love the days of sleeping in until 8 with my beautiful girls, visiting with grampa p while he waits for jake to be ready for school, playing all morning with my girls, showering while they BOTH nap at the same time! Watching a little t.v. before they wake up and we get ready to head to dance.....I don't want these days to end!
