Hi Everyone!

Hi all! The girls are doing great! We switched them back into their cribs on Saturday am and it has been great. They are taking 2-2.5 hour naps again and sleeping peacefully through the night with minimal effort to get them to go to bed. Ahh if we had only not changed them in the first place, haha.

Other than that they are doing great. Megan has taken off in her verbal skills, she names animals, food and asks for things more specifically now. Haley is still a little slower in that department but we see her picking up new things every day. It amazes me more and more what they can do and what they understand.

I am still disappointed with some of our family that did not participate in the girls birthday. It is sad to me that my girls miss out and I know as they get older it will get harder on them. I find it hard to explain at this age and I can only imagine as they get older it will be even harder to explain to them why certain family members are not participating.

Cribs

The girls are going back in them. We have come to the realization that the girls just aren't ready to be in beds. They still really need the nap in the afternoon and aren't taking that with the beds. J is in the process of doing that today and we shall see. I am going to purchase a 2nd crib tent, we have one from my cousin (who has twins) so we just need one. The girls and I will be on that project shortly.

I will post some birthday pictures soon also.

Toddler Beds

The toddler bed transition is not going so well for the girls. Megan is having a really hard time with it. We end up having to stay with them until they fall asleep and then tonight Megan has been up for just over 2 hours now. I think we might go back to cribs. This is one awful idea mommy had.

2 Year Stats

Well it is official, Haley is a giant!!!

Haley 36" and 30lbs
Megan 33" and 25.5lbs

The doctor said they are both doing great!! Everything is what it should be and then some.

Happy 2nd Birthday

Dear Megan & Haley,

Happy Birthday to my precious little gifts from God. You were brought into my life 2 years ago and brought your daddy and me so much joy. The past 2 years have been filled with love and excitement and I am so excited to see what this new year will bring.

Enjoy your wonderful day today and know that Mommy & Daddy love you so much.


Love,

Mommy & Daddy

Hugging

So the girls have been hugging each other. I came home from work early tonight, and lo and behold, the the girls were full on hugging each other. It was the best thing ever. I think I have pictures (I think J took them), if I do I will definitely post them.


Edited to add a picture.....

The Week With Nana

Nana spent the week with us. The girls had the best time. Nana helped take the girls for those beautiful pictures you saw and just did so much for us. The girls spend their first night away from mom and dad, or should I say mom and dad spend their first night away from the girls. Nana did a really great job with them and I swear the girls didn't even care when we got home yesterday morning. There really isn't a whole lot more going on now until the girls bday, which I need to get on with the planning of that.

Professional Pictures

The came out amazing. Here is a little sample....

Talking

The girls are talking up a storm. Today at KMart my mom took Megan through the toy isle and all I hear is "woooooowwwwww" from Megan, hillarious!!! Haley of course has to point out Pablo everywhere we go! It is quite funny. Haley and I had a whole conversation this morning, that went something like this...

Me:"morning:
H: "how you"
Me:"good, how are you?"
H: "good"

Followed by lots of laughter from me, haha.
