Abby Kisses

Abby and Chloe have started to get into giving kisses. It really is just the most precious thing. My favorite part besides when I get a kiss is when they kiss each other! In this video I try to get Abby to give Chloe a kiss but instead she kisses the camara. So cute!

New Video

Just took this video of the girls on Sunday night. Abby likes to put towels and assorted clothes over her head and walk around the house. Also see Chloe using her stroller to walk really fast!

My Helpers...

Starting the girls off early to be my little helpers. This part is true but Abby and Chloe got the broom and dust pan all by themselves and started copying what they see me do about a million times a day. Soon I'm going to get them their own so they can really help when the baby comes!

I'm in Love With...

I'm in love with this picture. I don't think it could be cuter! I found this when I put the pictures from the camara onto the computer. Joe took it himself with Chloe.

Big Girls!

0ur girls are now 18 months old and they are really looking like big girls. The way they smile, the way their hair has grown, the way they talk, or the way they accomplish new things all the time...I'm not sure exactly what it is but they just seem so big to us!
Check out these two recent pictures and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Here are Abby and Chloe sitting at a little table at a party on Valentine's Day:


Here is Abby making a chair out of a diaper box:

Happy Anniversary!

Joe, here's to being married four years! I wouldn't change a thing about our life together. Looking forward to the rest of my life with you!

18 Month Check-Up

The girls had their 18 month well check visit this morning and all went well. Chloe weighed in at just over 20 lbs and Abby is almost 22 lbs. Our pediatrician said they looked great as usual! Chloe is getting her 5th tooth in (a top middle) and Abby has about 5 that are all about to come in (3 on top and 2 bottom). They just got one shot today which was nice, we are used to about 4 at a time so this was a nice break for them and us too. We don't have to go back again for 6 months, for their 2 year check.

Today at home, Abby got her first real injury. She's been walking for several weeks now and has been doing great. Now we are working on balance with her shoes on. She was on her way to the tupperware cabinet where Chloe was playing when she lost her balance. She went forward to catch herself with her hands and instead she caught the top of her wooden rocking horse. I didn't think she got more than a bump until I went to pick her up and I saw blood. She has a tiny little cut above her left eye brow. It stopped bleeding right away and she only cried for about two minutes. To be on the side of caution I took her to my neighbor's (who is an RN) to have her checked out. She looked her over and said she was doing just fine. She's doing great now but I do expect a nice bruise.

I'm in my 19 week of pregnancy. The nausea has improved quite a bit, occasionally in the morning I feel just a bit sick. I've started to feel the baby moving, which is always exciting. It was a fluttering feeling last week but this week it feels more like little kicks. The ultrasound tech last week did say he was feisty.
