They are napping now so I must make this post short so I can get some things done.
Whew! I am tired. I just finished sweeping and mopping the kitchen. I can't go to bed with a dirty kitchen. Brooke and Presley made a mess with their cakes. They were adorable. They didn't eat much of the cake but they played in it. I will post those pictures at a later date. I just loved these little dresses they had "Party" written all over them, when I saw them in the store. I had to dress them alike because they didn't have coordinating dresses. They both had bows but Presley wouldn't leave hers on. Christmas will be a blast this year because they were all over the packages tearing the paper and climbing on the boxes. It was so neat to see them so excited. Over the next week I will post pictures from the party. I took a picture of Brooke, Presley, Clay and Josh and man was it hard to get four toddlers to look at me. The one picture of them looking at me was the only one among many taken. Clay and Josh are two and so cute. (Hmm! Future husbands) I must get myself to bed it is late. Enjoy the pictures and have a great week.
, "She is walking."
Here are a few photos of the girls. Brooke loves making this face.
. When she falls she gets right back up and will do that over and over. She will get mad if she can't stay up. She has a lot of determination. She doesn't give up.
. They are not feeling the best today poor Presley is so hoarse. They both woke up from their nap so whiny. They usually wake in such a good mood. I loaded them with Tylenol and hopefully that will work. I love the weather but I am running out of short sleeve stuff for the girls to wear. They have grown out of most of it. I am ready for some cold weather.
Miss Presley is standing. She is the cutest, she will stand and I will say, "Look at you" and she will smile her big smile. Those eyes light up and she thinks she is a big girl standing all by herself. She also loves to play Pat a Cake as you can see in the photo. I think Presley is doing away with her morning nap. She didn't have one this morning before Gymboree (maybe 5 minutes in the car). It takes her so long to fall asleep that by the time we arrive at our destination she has just gone to sleep. No kidding. I thought for sure she would be fussy at Gymboree but no she was her happy self today. We moved up to level 3 in Gymboree and I think they are going to like it much better because we have children in that class that are walking. We moved up with two other people so they would have some kids they knew from level 2. You are not going to believe this but as I am writing this post I have had to go tend to the girls twice because they were crying. I think they are sick AGAIN. Presley was starting to lose her voice this evening. Man, they have been sick a lot. I asked the doctor last time they were in and he said a child can be sick at least 7 times their first year. I am sure we are very close to number 6 if not 7 times of being sick. I am ready for them to be well for at least a month. The longest has been 2 weeks. I'm not even going to begin to guess what it is but if they are not better by Monday back to the doctor for us. They do have a slight fever but they are also teething. Hmmmm! I should by stock in Motrin or Tylenol. I hope you have enjoyed my precious angels and my babbling for the night. Goodnight!
about her walking before her birthday but I think she really will be walking on her birthday. Just look at her she did this all day long. She is so adorable. She would get so excited and fall down, I think that was my fault half the time because I would get just as excited for her and she would lose her balance because she would look at me and laugh. She is my little Miss Independence. We went to Gymboree this morning and she just wanted to do her own thing for awhile. I would try to get her involved and she would arch her back and crawl off on her own. I just followed her until she was ready to be social. She is definitely dominant of the two. I am so ready for them to walk. I know you think I'm crazy (and I might be) but it will be easier in some ways because they will be able to walk instead of me carry them. They are getting heavy. I think I will save my back bending over so much. You all are thinking they are going to get into more stuff. I am ready, the house is baby proofed and I am ready to take them on. But when you have to lift two 20 pound babies all day it is rather tiring. Have a great Sunday.
.' When I start singing the song they start clapping. It is so adorable. We were playing today and they were both laughing so hard. It was such a precious moment. My favorite thing is to hear my children laugh. It brings pure joy to my heart. I am so belssed to have to health and happy babies. I guess after being at the hospital yesterday I am feeling a little sentimental. Have a great rest of the week!
