Mom and Dad's baby girl 6 months old already!!!

My daughter where do I begin..
She amazes me daily and if you look in her eyes, it's like she is saying "What MOM i am just hangin out having some fun why do you look so amazed, it's just me!!!"
Just this morning she was sitting with daddy and she grabs his glasses right off his face and Dustin had to actually use both is hands to get the glasses out of her hand she had such a tight hold on them and she was all smiles. Poor John Michael does this and he gets a spank, Claire does it and we laugh and smile and cheer her on!! She is growing stronger and smarter every day and it is so much fun to be a part of it!! I wish we were closer to family so they could also be apart of these wonderful moments, but since we can't be I will just have to start doing better with this blog :)

Here are a few pictures of her this morning when she was playing and playing and all smiles.. Of course she is just like John MIchael and stops smiling when she sees the camera because she is so interested in what the camera is :)

Our son!!

My son! They say a picture says a thousand words well this one sure does. What you see is exactly what you get. My son is such a happy and smart little boy he amazes me a few times an hour it seems. And his personality is the best for the most part ;)

Just yesterday we went over to our neighbors for their ten year old son birthday party. John Michael know them but not very well. They had a space walk with a slide on it. I thought he would be scared NOPE not the case he went in their with Edwardo and Tony and didn't care if I was there or not (he really didn't since I did leave for a little while to come check on Claire, he didn't even miss me!) He was in that spacewalk with all the 10 yr olds jumping and playing basketball (there was a net in there) and he was laughing up a storm, I thought it was going to get hurt but luckily nothing :) happened. And course when we left he was NOT HAPPY!!

John Michael is walking everywheres, climbing everywheres, helping with the laudry and the cleaning he is just growing up TOO FAST!!! He is talking his own language his jabber jabber but he does say a few words. Mama, Daddy, Hey, Bye Bye and his new word Ball.

Hair Cut!! Mom thinks it's a little too short! Daddy likes!


John Michael style!!!

Be ware!! Don't come to our house and take off your shoes, cause our son will do this with them and you will not find them when you try to leave!! He was so excited that I was doing it with him he couldn't crawl because it was laughing so hard!! It was priceless!!!





Nervous!?!?!?!

Our baby girl is getting stronger and more active by the day which is TOTALLY AWESOME. but also TOTALLY SCAREY. This is her the other night I put her in the bed straight up and down like normal and within minute she was like this across the bed. Which like I said is VERY COOL BUT!?!?! Look at all those cards and how tangled up they could get. SCARY STUFF!!!!!!!!






How did you get up there ?!?!?!?!?!

John Michael was here!!


Little Sister!

She DID NOT want to look at the camera we took like 20 pictures!


Thanks Nana I love my lamb!!

John Michael.....

My little boy is growing up, learning things by the minute it seems. He finally walks and crawls about equal so that is very cool and seems he will be walking all the time within the next few days. :) He points to his head, nose, belly, feet and toes when asked and as you can see below now stack blocks!!!

No more bottles!! I thought that was going to be hard but he did great! He eats OK for now but WILL NOT eat meat I have to hide it in other food. So I little late getting off the bottle but HEY 15months that's not too too bad!

Oh YES I love this one!!! When Claire is in her swing or bouncee when he passes by her, him put his face by her and say HEY!!! It is the cutest thing, he has been doing that for about a week! Today he came with us to the doctor and I put him in the car first and when he saw that I was putting Claire in too he just starting smiling and talking up a storm so excited sister was coming along..

John Michael has been home this week with Claire and I and I have loved every moment. I miss him!!! I am thinking of taking him out of daycare full time and going back to three days a week. He needs to me home with US!! I need to start having both my babies most of the time, that is the way it is suppose to be!! Of course I firmly believe daycare/school is a VERY important part of their social, behavior and learning skills so like I said he will continue with Mother's Day out and as soon as I get the okay that Claire can start going she will be there too!!! I met a girl at story time the other day that son goes to daycare with John Michael she said every time she goes to drop her son off or pick him up John Michael is always all smiles and talking and talking, that made my day!!! I had it built up in my head that he loved daycare and had fun but I didn't really know, I know he usually lets me leave with no problem. But for her to tell me that was just GREAT!!!!!!

Ok I could go on about him all day!!! I'll stop :)

Go Big Brother!!!!

Claire and her BESTIE!

Look NO CAST!!!

I snapped a few pictures without the cast between going to get the next one put on. Of course she wasn't in the mood I didn't get any smiles, so I thought this one was kinda funny. Her face is kinda saying "look here it is my leg!!!"
