70 Degrees!

This week the weather has been AMAZING! Today was over 70 degrees!! Kelly has taken the girls out every day and they have been SO happy to get out! They are both pretty sick (nasty runny noses, cough, etc.) but the fresh air has been good for them since it wasn't too cold! Most of these pictures were taken by Kelly, but Cesar and I snuck a few in too. The first one Cesar took of the girls and Kelly at lunch time today. How fun that they got to eat out on the deck. I was so jealous!

The girls LOVE to go on walks..as you can see, they were happy as could be!

Taking a little break at the park

And another adorable kiss picture. I know you (and when I say you, I mostly mean Grandpa (Tom)) are probably sick of all the kiss pictures, but I just LOVE them!

Don't know why, but I love this one!

And...yep, more kisses. Geez..these girls really love each other :)

The other night Leah did this OVER and OVER again. She would climb up into the seat, sit in there for a few minutes and then ask to get out. I took her out, and she would immediately climb back in again. It was a little annoying, but so cute that I continued to rescue her over and over!

Leah has been SO sweet recently. She LOVES to share with Bella. She tries to give her everything....her pacifier, food, drinks...whatever she has she wants to share. Here she is sharing my cup. Leah had it and Bella walked over to her and Leah immediately put it out for Bella to drink. They were taking turns over and over again. I love that they are starting to really be aware of each other and the other's feelings!!

Happy Valentines Day

Can't believe what a difference a year makes. Check out last year's valentine's day picture here!

Here are some pics from a few days ago...

Happy Day!

Happy 16 months today babies!!

Kisses

OH MY GOODNESS...Kelly has taught the girls the most adorable thing!! Check it out (and excuse my annoying "mommy talk")

Cuties

Here are some new pics that I love!

They love, and I mean LOVE, to stand on the big chair so they can grab stuff off the counter. Annoying, but good in a way, because it means I have to keep the counter clear of clutter!!

Love this one! Leah has that determined look on her face...she is really trying to do something (not sure what...but it seems very important) and Isabella just looks so darn cute!

Kelly took some AWESOME pictures at the park yesterday! I was so happy that it was nice enough for them to get out for a little while. They are going stir crazy being holed up in the house all the time!!

I don't know why, but I JUST LOVE this picture of Leah at Deann's house. She just looks so sweet to me. I think it is one of my all time favorites!!

Bad Babies

OK..so we have been working on "no." The girls have been working on disobeying. It's just fabulous :(

I decided to just choose a few things to really focus on "no" with them on. One of the main things is when they climb from the couch to the table. The LOVE to do this but it is very dangerous, so I decided we would really work on trying to get them not to do it. Ha Ha Ha...

Instead of learning "no", the girls have learned to say "get down" (in their own cute little way) and to point at the ground. Every time they jump up on the table they now laugh and say "get down" while pointing at the couch. Well...at least they are learning something, right? I guess we have a long way to go with the whole "no" thing!

Here are some pictures demonstrating my misbehaving angels!

This is how they get up on the couch...start with one leg...

Get into push-up position and fling entire body onto couch.


Do a little celebration dance once you get up there...

"What mommy..you want me to go where...down? Umm..no thanks"

"What you talkin' bout mommy?"

"Come on Leah...this is fun!"

Here is Leah doing the "get down" point.
(Please excuse her hair here, I don't know where the comb

forward thing came from...she kind of looks like Justin Beiber)

And laughing because she knows that she is being naughty

"hmm...are we doing something wrong mommy??"

"There are two of us and one of you...we win!!"

And one unrelated picture of Leah...she looks like she is totally throwing a tantrum here but really she was just having fun!

Pretty Hair

So, in a previous post I talked about how much Isabella likes to pretend she is straightening her hair like Mommy. I got a really short video of her doing it here.
