Remembering the fun stuff

Things I dont want to forget about my two girls right now:
Franki:

Almost 23 month's old! Yikes so close to 2!
In the last three months her vocabulary has quadrupled. She is so vocal. She speaks in three to four word sentences often and communicates using words, phrases and short sentences. Some of her phrases that keep us laughing: "where'd she/he go" (with a very quizical look on her face, and she looks all around), mere, mere, mere (come here), Love you MUUUCCHHH (with her arms spread big) She pretty much says much anytime you put your arms out for a hug. She is fixated on her baby dolls. She talks about how they have pee and poo and always wants to change there imaginary diapers. She is obsessesd with peoples names (she knows every single kid at schools name, all her teachers, all of our friends and families names and she talks about everyone of them. If you start talking about Ellie, she knows ellie is associated with Nana and Papa so she says there names over and over very excited. Same goes for all of our other close friends and family. It is so sweet how she knows everyones names, especially the people she is most fond of. She loves to draw, sing, play pretend kitchen, pretend with dolls, and loves to either love/hate on her sister. Her tantrums are in full force when they come on, but come and go quickly. She loves the water (we go swimming abvout three times a week and she is little miss independent jumping right into the pool) She now loves school and we have seen such a difference in her since she has started. She now walks in with me helps me get all Addi's stuff tucked away into her room and then proceeds in to her room. She gets her Minnie doll and then proceeds to sit and hang out with the kids who are there. We have a special sign for I love you and a kiss and then I am on my way. ( what an improvement this has been since the first four weeks she screamed bloody murder). She is just so much fun, we have our hard times as I think anyone with toddlers does but she really is the light of our lives. Here is to one more month til we have ourselves a full fledged toddler running around!

Addi 4 months old.  Her 4 month stats: 11 pounds 5 oz, 23.75 inches. Perfect ball of baby fun. She is rolling all over the place. She is still our little observer. She loves looking at and examining everything. She reaches for all different kinds of toys, she loves watching bubbles and trying to get them as they float around her head. She smiles and laughs literally all the time. She only cries when she is hungry and man does she let you know how badly she needs her milk. She can go from zero to ten in about 5 seconds. She conttinues to sleep through the night and take great naps during the day (polar oppostie of her sister). She has the tiniest little head and chubbiest little thighs and I just want to nibble on them they are so stinking cute. She loves the jumperoo and can spend hours in it jumping around and grabbing at  all the toys. if you talk to her she loves to try to grab your face, its like she is studying every little part of you. She has this really sweet nature about the way she reaches out to you with her little pursed lips and big round eyes. Loving this baby and her seet demeanor. She is just going to be one of these loving little kids that goes with the flow. Life is good with baby number two and I cant imagine it any other way!
