Big Girl Bed

Grandma and Grandpa Stathis helped us pick up and set up Leah's new bed.

Sarah enjoying a book with Grandma in her room.


Leah couldn't wait to climb up and explore the new bed.


My friend gave us the quilt and pillows. It turned out really nice.


We switched the direction of the bed since the room is so small.


Most of the pictures of the girls looked like this...

Snow

We got some!



Leah has her friends over on Friday. It was a much needed break. We were starting to get a little crazy here with Leah's fever and constant fussiness.

She didn't move from that spot, because it was too slippery. Maybe we'll buy some boots for next year. It's hard to justify buying snow gear when it only snows once or twice and rarely stays on the ground for more than a week.

Two



We are loving Leah being two and all that comes with it. It seems like it happened overnight.

At two, Leah is still very opinionated about what she wears. She rotates between about two or three shirts and a couple of pairs of pants.

She talks nonstop in full sentances.

She potty trained quite easily and hasn't had a hard time with it.

She transitioned to a big-girl bed and LOVES it.

She loves taking care of her sister and making sure she is okay. She talks to her in a baby voice and says things like, "I'm sorry Sarah you too little to have it. You choke on it." She is also very defensive of her toys when others come over to play. She regularly explains what is going on so that Sarah feels included.

She is still a super picky eater. Her likes are shredded cheese, pretzels, Macaroni and Cheese, and my homemade chicken noodle soup. Everything else is hit or miss.

She is very concerned about everyone and everything.

She loves nursery, babies, singing, music, movies (her favorite right now is Toy Story 3), and playing hide-and-go-seek.

We love her so much and really can't imagine a life without her.

Sick

The fever started yesterday afternoon.

I knew something was wrong when she wanted me to hold her constantly.



When she isn't cuddled up in my arms, she is laying on the couch watching TV.

I'm counting down the days until Spring!

Mash Up

A little Twinkle Twinkle with some ABCs anyone?



Please pardon my squealing. Before I grabbed my camera, Sarah squealed, everytime Leah sang something. Perhaps we'll have some sing offs in our future.

She likes it!!

She's been eyeing our food for awhile now, so we decided to give her a taste.





I'm not sure if she had rice cereal in mind.
