Another Picture Post

This is an easier way for me to blog. Just upload my pics from my phone every couple of months. Here's a little update on the girls first.
Charlotte-
- TERRIBLE TWO'S! 'nuff said
- attempting potty training, she goes every night before baths, working on it more throughout the day
- in 4T clothes because she's so tall, but they are HUGE on her tiny waist :)
- still naps, but fights them almost daily
- favorite shows are Curious George, Backyardagin's, Super Why, and Blue's Clues
- favorite song is "I Am A Child of God". She knows every word :)
- favorite colors are green and purple. Purple clothes, green for anything else
- loves coloring and painting. She'll do it forever!
- knows all her numbers up to 24
- knows and recognizes all the uppercase and lowercase letters
- knows her basic shapes and most colors
- can write the letters "T, C,O, L, E, I" and occasionally "A"
- loves to have her picture taken and cheeses it up for every picture. I always ask her to just smile normal, but then she frowns :( silly girl
- her other favorite song is "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5.... she knows too many of the words.
- anywhere we go she says HI to every. single. person..... It's cute, but some people don't respond and she repeats it OVER and OVER and sometimes that's embarrassing for me, lol :)
- she really is a sweet girl and loves time alone with mom and dad. we love her guts

Leah
- 9 months old next week and almost 22lbs!
- aka "Leah- peah"... we said it as a nickname in the beginning and now Char thinks that's her real name
- is semi-anti-nursing as of the past week... mom is sad :(
- doesn't fit into any of Char's old clothes. She's in 12m clothes and Char was only in 9m ones at this time
- army crawls and rolls all over the place, also sits. Her head is just so big and her body is super roly poly, so she hasn't done much more than that. She gets up on her hands and knees all the time and rocks, but won't crawl. Silly girl.
- babbles "da-da, ma-ma, na-na" and "no no". "No no" is always followed with a big head shake :)
- eating lots of baby food, but has a hard time with texture. Just barely eating some pastas and quick-dissolving crackers.
- loves her jumper. Sometimes she jumps like it'll launch her upstairs!
- LOVES Charlotte. She gets so so excited anytime Char is by her.
- hates socks. As soon as their on her feet she pulls them off with her teeth then carries them around like a little puppy. It cracks me up.
- when we giver her kisses, she puts her hand around our necks and hugs us back. pretty much adorable.

OK- that's about it! George and I are doing great. Nothing new going on, but we're doing well. Next interview panel for George is March. He put in for Nevada and Tennessee this time, so cross your fingers for us!

PICS.... sorry, it's a LOT.
