Pretend

Here's a video of Matilda playing with Evelyn, pretending that it's bedtime.

Tummy Time

Not Evelyn's favorite activity, but she's getting nice and strong, trying to roll over, and looks darn cute!

Happy Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day the girls agreed to dress up and take some pretty pictures for Mommy.

That dress might look familiar.



They also received gifts from grandma and grandpa and LOVE them (the gifts and the grandparents!)




Hope you're all feeling the love this Valentine's Day.

Play Time

Hey Matilda, do you like that book?



How about sharing it with your sister?



Oooh, she's interested!



Sure looks like you two are having fun!

Comfy?

This is how our girl likes to sleep.



We always lay her down on her back, cover her with blankets and otherwise put her down like a normal person, but every time we find her like this, on her face in the corner with no blankies.



Guess that's just how she rolls.

Happy baby

This is one happy, chunky 3 month old.




Just incase that didn't make you smile, let's get a little closer:

Wanna kiss?

"it's a sister," Matilda says while pointing at Evelyn. "Kiss?" She asks.


Clearly, Evelyn must not have heard. Matilda is waiting for an answer.



Evelyn never did respond, so no kiss for her.

I had a birthday too

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 29 for the first (and only) time. And it was a really nice day. Ed, the girls, Jim and Joanne and Kim and Eric really spoiled me with tons of nice, thoughtful gifts.

Including this sushi serving dish that Ed got for me and the extravagant sushi spread he brought home for dinner--yum!


Matilda joined us for dinner and tried her first sushi pieces--an egg cake, avocado roll and some tuna sashimi.


Evelyn watched, content to be close to the fun.


And as one last special surprise, Ed brought home this beautiful and tasty cake--it's strawberry mousse with chocolate creme brule flavored cake and it's SO girly and pretty.


Ed did a really great job making sure I enjoyed myself and felt special. After the girls went to bed we snuggled up on the couch (with a second piece of cake!) to watch LOST. It was a great day.

Curlers?

Matilda has decided that my curlers are super fun to play with. She's also figured out where I keep them. If I forget to lock the bathroom door, she heads straight in, goes for the cabinet, pulls them out and starts playing.





It's a little strange, but at least she's learning. She can now say curler, find the curlers, count the curlers, put them in the box and take them out of the box and knows they are pink, purple and green and will tell me which is what.
