Elizabeth 9 months

So, my baby girl is 9 months now...well actually on the 16th but she had her check-up. She weighs 16lbs 8ozs and it 27.5 inches tall. She can sit, crawl (army crawl), walk holding onto my fingers, stand up holding onto furniture and she says Dada. I try to get her to say Mama and she just laughs. She loves it when I have her point to my eyes, nose and mouth. She eats no baby food and if I would let her she would eat a whole peanut and butter sandwich. She eats a banana, one egg, 1 slice of toast and nurses for breakfast. She is a piggy like her sister but not a weight gainer. She is so fun to be around. She does have an attitude, if Victoria takes something from her man she screams and yells at her..it is so dang funny. Victoria loves to go and help get her up in the morning and Elizabeth just lights up when she sees her sister. She is so active. She still has her two bottom teeth..working on her four top teeth still for the past 2 months...they come and go...very frustrating. We are honestly having the time of our lives with our little girls and nothing would make me happier than I am now staying at home with them and having them both in my life. They keep me coming and going and I love it. I don't know what I would do without them both. They are such little lovers and they just ooze love to the ones they know. Raising them and watching them grow has been the best times in my life and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us. They both just honestly feel my heart and then some with so much love and I LOVE being their mother. I have never been so happy in my life as I am now. I want to tell my little girls that I love them more than I could ever tell them or show them. They are my life and I would not have it any other way. Mommy love you both more than anything. Hugs and kisses always.

Victoria's Dance

So, Victoria has been in dance since January and she loves it. She knows her routine by heart but doing it for her teacher is another story. Her dance is to a Tinker Bell song and their ourfit is Tinker Bell. She has done it a few times for her but she will always do it for me. She danced for the first time on Saturday at Deseret Peak. She got on stage and she walked to the center looked out at the audience and just smiled and played with her wand. She did not dance but that is OK, she is only 2 years old. She dances again this Friday and I will take video on my camera to post here.

Victoria and Elizabeth

So, when Victoria was a baby her best friend, Gracie would push her around in a baby doll stoller. My mom bought Victoria one and she loved to be pushed in it. Now, that she has a sister she wants to push her in it. I let her do it and Elizabeth just loved it. Victoria goes really fast and I am afraid that Elizabeth will fall out but she loves it so much. Elizabeth just sits there all relaxed and laughs. My girls are so silly.

Earlier this week Elizabeth started to crawl. She gets on her knees and uses her arms not her hands...I call it the army crawl. It is so fun to watch her as she will be in one place and a second later somewhere else. I never went through this with Victoria as she never crawled. My baby girl is growing up way to fast. But we are having the time of our life.

Victoria's 1st haircut

So, I know she is 2 yrs old but she is a girl and did not need her haircut. I took her to my best friend and her Auntie Kari. She got about a half inch cut off and her hair came back with more curls. she did so well. She sat still for her and then she got her candy for being such a big girl. She was so excited to get her haircut and she kept asking me if I was done yet, as I went first for a haircut. I think that she is good for another 2 years. I took some pics hope you enjoy.

My Birthday

So, I am 32 now. I do not feel that old at all and as a matter of fact I was told that I act older than my age...that is good. My girls, mom, best friend, her kids, her mom and another friend went to lunch like we always do. I got some shirts, earring, shoes, scrapbooking kit, scrapbooking gift certficate, pj's and my Cricut carrying bag. It was a good day.

My Beautiful Girls

Elizabeth is now 7 mos and doing great. She is cutting 6 teeth in and 2 are already in. Victoria is also doing great and still loves being a big sister as you can see in the picture.

Zoo

We bought a Zoo pass for this year and I have taken the girls every month since February when we got it, sometimes we go twice or more a month. We have been having so much fun. We have to see the Elephants, Giraffes, Rhinos, Turtles and then ride the Carousel two times. If we see other animals it is OK but Victoria has to see these ones. Here are some pics from three trips ago. And luckily the only thing that Victoria wants to buy are tatoos and they are chaep...so as many trips to the zoo that we are making I get out paying nothing really and that is good.
