Portrait Time

We went in for our annual family portrait the other day. I try to take the girls more frequently because they grow and change so much. Here are the pictures we chose.

Reality of Roseola

My poor baby has come down with a case of Roseola...or some other viral rash. Took her into the doctor just to make sure if wasn't something more serious. Here are the pictures...

Back to Blogging

Ok, so over the weekend, I had a few friends remind me of what a bad blogger I am. Mea culpa. So here are a few of the events that have happened since my last post. Keira turned 1, started walking and is working on talking. Julia is now singing along with and acting out DVDs and has started taking a dance class. The girls are really developing a relationship with each other, which is great. It is the best thing to see them giving each other a hug and kiss for no reason other than they just plain love each other.

I'm putting up one or two pictures from different times over the past few months as a sort of catch up. Soon to follow, some pics from our visit to Ohio.

While visiting Uncle Tim and Aunt Tab in NC in April, we went to Discovery Place. They had a great kid area!

Summertime at the Jersey Shore...need I say more?

Julia wanted a hole to sit in.

Hello, Again...

So it's been so long since I last did a blog that I can't even remember all that I should have been blogging about. So, I'm starting fresh. Here are updates and pictures.

Julia is knocking our socks off with her smarts these days. She has just recently started singing the ABC's. Pretty impressive when you consider I didn't really start singing it for her very much until about two weeks ago. She sings "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, ah blah la la, Q, R, S, T, V, V, W, X, Y and Z. Now my ABC's. Next time with me." She is also jumping around the house saying "hop, hop, hop...brinca, brinca as well as jump, jump, jump...salta, salta" She is also using the Spanish words for climb, up, down, yes, and any number from 1-10. She LOVES snow and can't wait to get outside whenever the white stuff is coming down. Her new favorite thing...her sister. She gets super excited whenever Keira wakes up and runs in their room screaming "Baby Keira Wake Up, Mom!" They are really cute when they play together.

As for Keira, she is getting so big, so fast. She is up to 20 lbs already! She got her ears pierced about a month ago. She sits up very well, and scoots around on her butt. She has been on hands and knees for weeks, but can't coordinate herself enough to move forward. She mostly slides back. She is also clapping her hands and laughing a lot. She just recently started pulling herself up on the furniture. I'm not sure, but I think she might skip crawling and go straight to walking. She has also cut some new teeth, bringing her total to four. Keira absolutely adores her big sister and smiles and laughs whenever Julia is around.

Growing a sisterly bond.

Keira loves bath time. She gets so pissed when she gets taken out before Julia.

Even Daddy enjoys tubby time!

Snow Day!
