10.31.11 ~ Halloween

The girls were cows for Halloween. They did a little trick or treating and really enjoyed giving out candy. Auntie Chelsea came to help with the festivities and the girls had a fun night. Dan and I enjoyed all the candy they couldn't eat :)

10.21.11 ~ Where did the time go?

Wow, I can't believe it's Fall already. Summer seemed to fly by here with vacations and fun adventures. The girls are doing amazingly well. They had a little case of strep throat last month but antibiotics cleared that right up. Other than that, they're growing and learning so much. This is my favorite age so far. They are singing and making pretend cookies and coffee for me in their kitchen (they know mommy needs her coffee!). They are starting to play with each other more and more and will even play for a bit while I can get some things done around the house. I absolutely love how they love each other. If one gets hurt, the others will bring a favorite toy or blanket. They give hugs and kisses to each other and tell each other they love them each night.

Up until a few weeks ago they got up about 8:15 and took a nap from 12-1:30. They went to bed around 7:15. All that changed two weeks ago when we transitioned them from their cribs to 'big girl beds'. They like their beds and their new found ability to get out of them. Naptime isn't going so well, but they are still sleeping great at night so I guess that's what counts. They get up around 8:30 and have 'quiet time' in their beds from 1-2 and then go to bed around 7:15.

On other development fronts, they can dress and undress themselves. They are potty trained and only wear diapers when sleeping or on a long car ride. They are talking up a storm and singing full songs. They are starting to have little conversations with each other. They have opinions. Yes, lots and lots of opinions :)

10.10.11 ~ Dentist

The girls had their second dentist appointment today. The first was about six months ago and they got to sit in the chair and let the dentist look in their mouth. Nothing serious. Today they each sat in the chair and got a full cleaning and fluoride! They were such big girls...the dentist and staff couldn't believe they got cleanings on two year olds.
