My Growing girls

I don't know if it's true or not, but whenever Lily asks me why she has to go to bed one of the reasons I tell her, is because that's when our bodies grow. Well it seems like all my girls are doing lately is grow a ton, and if that's the case I want to enjoy some more sleep from them!

Ahh, I LOVE to go and look at my kids when they are sleeping. Ella cracks me up, lately she is determined NOT to be swaddled anymore and I will hear her grunt and groan until at last an arm is free. She has been such an easy going, happy baby so far, maybe this is just a glimpse at her truly determined side. She is all smiles though, all day and is happy just to play on the floor either watching Lily or I do our stuff.










And Lily has started in the habit of putting whatever stuffed animal or baby she is sleeping with that night to sleep on her chest and she makes sure it is tucked in under her blankie too. She makes me laugh so much everyday and is growing up way to fast for my taste. Today she insisted on going potty by herself all day and, after inspection of the bathroom after a couple of uses I realized that she had used up ALL the T.P. and had piled it in the toilet. She is so independent these days, and has even started playing by herself a bit more (Yay!). Yesterday all while I was getting ready for dinner she was so quiet downstairs just playing with barbies. I had to keep yelling down to her to make sure she was okay and not getting into anything. When I finally went down to get her for dinner she was VERY engrossed in finding matching shoes for all the dolls to wear, and coordinating outfits and was very frustrated when she was missing some shoes "But mom she has to have her other cinderella swipper" (these were all my barbie things so shoes have definately been lost along the way). Anyway I just want to remember all these little things because there are new ones everyday and I don't want to forget anything.
