Below is a video of Sophia playing with Cinderella the day after we got her.

Their Favorite Things

im still sick... 

we took the dog to the vet, she is growing at an unbelievable pace. She is 11 weeks old now, weighing in at 30 lbs. already. 

Bella is over a year old now, and still refuses to walk. I keep trying to make her practice, but im starting to think she might be the only kid in town crawling around her kindergarten class. She is quite the babbler, though. 

For those of you who would like a little update on what the girls are into right now, i made a short list of some their favorites (this week.)

  

Sophia's Current favorites:

shows: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Imagination Movers

Movie:  Twilight (even though i dont think she knows whats going on)

food: chicken, pasta, and gum

saying:  "you're a Maniac!"

time of day: early morning and late afternoon

hobby: coloring (mostly on the walls and furniture), and "shootin coyote's" (see pic below)

toys: hannah montana doll, any baby dolls (all named Lola)

animal: horsies

and she is most currently the most excited about:  wearing her new dress on Easter, which comes with the matching dress for her baby doll.

                                          

Bella's current favorites:

shows: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, actually anything on Disney (see pic below)

time of day: morning 

hobby: eating ladybugs

and she is currently most excited about: her next meal

My girls are so sweet and funny! They are ornery as can be, but in the sweetest way.  And they LOVE each other, Sophie is such a good big sister. Even when Bella is pulling Sophia's hair and Sophia squeezes Bella's arm until she cries, i can still see the love. You couldn't find a more proud (or tired) mommy in the world. :)

                                            

Emergency Rooms and Twilight chatter

So my husband and I spent last night in the ER with our oldest daughter, 2 1/2 year old Sophia. She had a fever of 104.7 and was throwing up, it was sad and miserable, but in the end it was just an ear infection. Our prayers were answered as soon as we heard that it wasnt serious. This is the first time we had ever had to take her to the ER, i think only the second time she ever went to the doctor, so mommy and daddy were VERY worried. She is watching movies in daddy's office this morning while I man the front desk here at my husband's chiropractic office/spa/wellness center. Our youngest daughter Bella stayed with my hubby's mom.

Speaking of Bella......


After jumping on the Twilight bandwagon last week, and reading all 4 books in five days. I cant get enough, i was left wanting so much more. So, of course, i read the unfinished Midnight Sun online, and was left yearning for more. I want to read every book in the series knowing what Edward was thinking, it is such a completing twist to read "Twilight" as he tells the story. It gives it a whole new meaning to every word that he spoke, because it tells the feelings behind them. Every action i hadn't fully understood, or an all-too-long disappearance, is explained. Im gonna write her a letter AND an email. I dont want to be punished for her leaky publishing company! I just want to be continuously involved in the most romantic story ive ever read. Like i said, i'm writing a LETTER.
