We made it to 27 months....

It all started last Wednesday...Victoria had a clear runny nose and was coughing. She would cough so hard that she would puke. I thought it was just allergies because Louis has them badly and the pollen count was high. She gets bloody noses really easily and I have to put Vaseline in her nose every night. Well, I was not because she had a runny nose. She woke up Friday with a bloody nose that was like a faucet. It did not stop until that night and she had a fever. I called the Dr and had an appt on Saturday. I cancelled it because she was not coughing anymore, no more bloody nose and no fever. Her runny nose turned into a greenish yellow. Well, last night she woke up at 3:30am telling me her ear hurt. I took her to the Dr today and she has a double ear infection. This is the first time she has ever been sick in her 27 months of life. It is very sad but she is doing great. She has an antibiotic and ear drops.

Victoria and her baby

Victoria got a Baby Alive learns to potty and she loves this doll. The baby will tell her that she has to go potty and Victoria will put her on the potty. She really does pee and poop. She feeds her food and gives her milk (water). The baby will tell her if she had an accident, if she is hungry or thirsty, wants to play, to hug her, give her a kiss or if she is tired. Victoria just loves her and loves to play with her. She is really good at changing her diaper and putting her on the potty. I got it on video on day. Hope you enjoy.

6 months and growing fast

Elizabeth had her 6 month appointment. She weighs 14lbs 15oz and is 26.5 inches long. She grew 1 inch and 1/2 lb in 2 months. She eats 4oz of rice cereal for breakfast, 1 jar of veggies and 1 jar of fruit for lunch and dinner plus she still nurses 5-6 times a day. She is so long that I put her in 12 month pajamas last night and they fit. I will put a picture of her in them. She rolls over and sits up now. She loves to eat Gerber puffs. She has tried mashed potatoes, french fries, yellow cake and eggs. She likes them all. She had to get 2 shots yesterday and she did not cry at all, I was so proud of her. She still sucks her thumb and she loves it so much. She was sleeping throught the night but the past 2 weeks she has been waking up at 4am to nurse. She loves balloons and going for walks in the stroller. She loves to take baths with her sister. Victoria likes to pour water on her and Elizabeth just laughs and laughs. When I am reading her a story she tries to eat the books. Anything that I have within her reach she reaches for it and tries to put it in her mouth. We just love her so much.

Victoria loves to play dress up. I bought her a Snow White outfit and she wears it everywhere including the shoes. It is so cute. She can sing the ABC song. She is growing up to be such a beautiful little girl. She is such a little mommy and it is so cute. She takes care of her sister and helps me with her a lot.

I would not know what I would do without both of my little girls in my life. I am just having the time of my life. We got a year pass to the Zoo and have went twice already in the past month. Victoria just wants to spend hours with the Giraffes. I tell her we have to go but she starts to cry because she does not want to leave them. We are going to Disneyland this fall and the Circus. Victoria talks about Disneyland all the time now that I told her we are going. It will be so much fun.

Picture time

Took the girls to have their pictures done. I had Elizabeth in three outfit changes and Victoria in two. By the end Elizabeth would not cooperate to have pictures taken with her sister. I did get some cute pictures of the girls seperately. Last time Victoria was not cooperating and this time it was Elizabeth. She was fine until I gave her to Victoria to hold and she would start to cry. It was so funny. When Victoria was 5 mos old I had these certain photos taken and I had Elizabeth's done in the same dress and same 3 poses. It will be so cool to have them framed next to each other.
